My Student Organization


Organization and its Purpose
I attended a Spanish Club meeting. The purpose of the club is pretty self-explanatory: we talk about spanish stuff! I'm interested in languages and so that's why I attended the meeting. 

Day and Time Attended
Tuesday, October 16 at 5:15 and Tuesday, October 2 at 7:15.

Purpose of the Meetings
We talked about spanish culture and the language at both meetings, going over Columbia and eating fried bananas at the most recent meeting. Considering I don't know Spanish very well, it was hard to keep up but it was the alternative to French Club, which never meets.

View of the Organization
I had fun going to these meetings! It was a more informal, relaxed structure. The leaders I like as they very much encourage members to speak in Spanish and participate. 

Joining the Organization
Although the meetings were fun, I don't think I will continue to participate in this club. Although it was fun, I don't really have time to keep up attendance. Classes, friends, working out, it really takes up all of my time and I can't really fit much more in.

My Finances

- Budget
I do not have any set budget. I guess my only goal in regards to that is to not max out my jacket express money.
- More or Less Money
So far this semester, I've spent less than I thought I would. At first, I thought I would be going over to the Union all the time to buy food, but then I got lazy. So I have definitely spent less.
- Most Money Spent On
FOOD.
Changing Spending Habits
- I don't think I need to change my spending habits. This could change by the end of the year when I start to get low on money, but as of right now I don't feel like there is a need to. When it comes to spending money, I've been pretty consistent from week to week. As long as this doesn't change, I should be fine.
