Not your run-of-the-mill senior thesis
April 11Senior Lumay Wang sat across from Murat Salim Esenli, the Turkish ambassador to China, on August 11, 2010, as she explained the message behind the display that Turkey had chosen to exhibit at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.

April 5I'm just going to be honest and admit that I really don't have the best time−management skills. Though I'm convinced Spanish essays only take an hour to write, three hours later I am inevitably still sitting at my computer and cursing my inability to conjugate verbs into the subjunctive.
