The Final Push

01/21/2010

Welcome back! Did you all have a wonderful and safe vacation? I sure did, but now it's time to get serious and get back to the books!

This semester is bittersweet for me because this is my LAST semester as a Red Wolf. Every day I get closer and closer to becoming an IUE Alumnus. However, this semester is going to be the most challenging for me as far as classes are concerned. All of my classes are upper level classes (as should they be), and one class is my senior seminar for BSS. This class requires me to complete a minimum 25 page paper, a group presentation; and a solo presentation infront of the class, instructors, and invited BSS faculty and guests.  And all papers and projects combine all of the information that I have learned from my BSS classes over the past 3 years. I've been told by previous students that this is the most fun class of the entire program. So, I'm just going to pace myself and not procrastinate with my work in this class or my other classes!

On the other side of this semester lies the "real world." I've already begun the process of writing my resume and searching for jobs. But wait...wasn't I going to graduate school? The answer is no. Not right now. I am so burnt out on school that I need a break from the academia lifestyle. I need a job that when I leave the office and come home, I know that I do not have 4-5 hours of homework lying ahead of me. I'm not too sure where I will end up, but I'm sure that I will find a good fit for me.

On a funny note, if you have been following American Idol this season there's a good possibility that you saw the Atlanta, GA, auditions last week. If you did, you witnessed "Pants On The Ground." If you didn't catch it, here it is for you're viewing pleasure! I love this song! It says what the majority of America has been saying since I was in 7th grade (2000).
