- Hi, my name is Caitlin.
I am from Long Island, New York
and I'm a freshman here at Harvard.
I am so thrilled to be taking you around
for the next two days and giving you a little video
and blog on what I do every day.
I am planning on concentrating
in theater, dance and media here.
I'm also a student in the dual degree program
with Berklee College of Music,
where I'm studying vocal performance
and I'm also a cadet in Air Force ROTC at MIT.
So thank you so much for joining me
and seeing what I do every day and let's get started.
Good morning!
Welcome to my ROTC run
along the beautiful Charles river in Cambridge.
So I finished my ROTC workout
I had some breakfast, did some homework
and I'm getting ready for my classes today.
I have Arabic, computer science and my military classes
and then I have some fun rehearsals tonight.
I finished out my day of classes
I finished up my rehearsal, my ROTC classes
and so now is dinner time
so I just went to the Mather dining hall
and I was able to pick up my food
kind of like an assembly line
from the amazing staff at HUD's,
that you pick up your entrees, side snacks,
desserts, you name it
and so you bring it back to your room, you heat up
and today I am having chicken parm with sweet potatoes
and Brussels sprouts, here we go.
It is 10:30 on Tuesday,
I am in the process of doing some homework right now
I finished all my homework for tomorrow
but I'm just trying to get ahead for the rest of the week.
I'm doing my Berklee homework right now.
I have Berklee classes on Mondays and Thursdays.
I have ROTC, which is at MIT on Tuesdays
and then I have Harvard classes every day.
I love my classes and I'm so thankful to be
in the programs that I am.
So thank you so much for joining me today
I will see you tomorrow morning
have a good night.
Good morning and welcome to day two.
I am currently having breakfast.
I have Arabic in 45 minutes,
I have a CS50 tutorial in 17 minutes
so that I can get some extra help with my problem set.
And, yeah,
so today is gonna be a good day.
Oh, they're starting hot food in the dining hall today
for lunch
so that'll be very exciting.
Here I'm dropping off my COVID test.
So here at Harvard, we get COVID tested three times a week,
my days are Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
We have a test that like you swab your nose
and you linked your cap to your phone
and then
sorry I to get in the building.
And then, you link it to your phone
then you drop off you COVID test
at the location here.
You see this, scanning the two.
- [Woman] Next
Perfect.
- [Woman] Awesome.
Right in the bin
right there,
hand sanitize,
then you are on your day.
Hi, welcome to the dinning hall,
here I am getting my food.
Hello, (chuckles) thank you so much.
This is what the table looks like,
you can pick your entree sides,
desserts, everything and then you get it in a green bag
and you're ready to go.
Hi guys, welcome back.
So here I am after I just got my food
I'm having lunch outside with my friends Neil and Maureen
and it is a Caesar salad with grilled chicken today.
It is about three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
I had Arabic this morning,
I had my acting class where I perform two monologues
and I'm working on some Arabic homework
before my freshmen seminar on skin
and dermatology later today.
I have rehearsal again tonight which is super fun
and I will check in with you guys later.

Good evening or technically good morning.
It is 12:15 in the morning on Thursday,
I finished up with all my classes
and extracurriculars on Wednesday
and I called my parents I love talking
to my parents and family and friends back home.
So I did that and now I'm heading off to bed
it's kind of an early night for me,
but, sleep is always good.
So thank you so much
for joining me over these past two days,
this has been so fun, sharing my days
and giving a little blog slash blog
on what I do every day.
So thank you so much
and I hope you enjoyed and have a fantastic day.
(kissing on air)
Bye.
