This semester has been a whirlwind of excitement and busy, busy days. I'm going to try and keep up again, but like I mentioned the last time, it's hard with so much else going on. So what's new with me and my life?
Well, let's start with school, shall we? Classes have been going well. I ended last semester on dean's list! Woo, all the hard work I did paid off. This semester, I'm taking a lot of classes that I like. Digital Rhetorics is one of my favorites. This is the first time it's being taught, so we're like the guinea pigs. Wendy KZ Anderson is the professor though, and there's only four students in the class. It's really interesting. I like how she actually pushes us to do our best, as opposed to the minimum required. What else, my editing class has been interesting so far. I like looking through and correcting errors - it makes me feel important. Then my MIS class is going well, though java still frustrates me like no other. This class is much slower paced than CS 1121 though, so it's easier to follow. Plus when I write an executable code I kind of feel like a computer science ninja!
Moving on to work, all three jobs are going well. The Lode (for which I work as a designer) has been a lot of fun so far! I get to use Adobe InDesign to arrange the stories and photos on the pages for print. It's really cool to start with a blank page and then see everything come together. My job at the HDMZ (Humanities Digital Media Zone) in Walker has been going well too. Today, actually, was a really busy day! Right when I got there there was a question about the scanner, then while we were working on that, there was another issue with a student that couldn't print. It was a busy start, but it slowed down. Overall I like working that job. I'm excited to continue working it, because I'm learning a lot. My big job, my internship, has also been going well. I talked to Cat and talked about the summer with her and she said she could extend my stay until the end of May. Wooooo!! That's super exciting because now I don't need to find something for May when I'm up here.
Most of my summer is planned out though. I'm going to (hopefully) live in the AGD house for May and the beginning of June while taking track A courses, then move into the dorms for my job as a residence counselor for Tech's Summer Youth Programs. I'm really excited about this job because it sounds like a TON of fun! Plus Monica (my AGD sister-daughter) was hired too, so we get to do it together. So I'll do that until the beginning of August, and then move back into the AGD house to finish up track B classes. I love when things are planned out. So I'm excited for this semester to wrap up.
My student organizations have been pretty good as well. Order of Omega just finished up Greek Week, which was kind of a mess, but turned out okay. I'm glad I made it through in one piece, and people are still telling me good job. Whew! Major weight off my shoulders Now I need to figure out what the next step for the STC Student Chapter is, and then Greek New Member Orientation, and then Greek Awards. Yikes... I guess there's time for sleep when I'm dead, yeah? Or when I'm old and boring. Whichever comes first I suppose. Now I gotta get back to doing some homework. Which reminds me that Spring Break starts next week! A whole week of zero responsibilities. It sounds too good to be true, actually. I'm looking to get caught up/ahead in my school work, but I also want to do some art too. We shall see.
