Back to Blogging

It's been a while since I've written in this thing and with my new found time freedom I've decided to bring it back!
So many things (good and bad) have happened since I've stopped writing in this thing! I want to keep track of my college memories so when I'm finally in the "real" world I can look back and have a laugh. (which is what I do with my old Xanga, currently. Seriously. I can't bear to shut down my account!)

I'm officially a college senior! So weird to be saying! My 21 birthday is quickly approaching, and I can feel adulthood moving in just around the corner. Major events of this semester include: Getting a Marketing/Communications internship at an AMAZING OKC based, non-profit organization called World Neighbors (www.wn.org - a total blessing!), taking a trip down Route 66 to the Grand Canyon with about 10 of my friends over spring break, being chosen to be the executive director for OC's annual variety show called Spring Sing (such a big honor!), writing for the school newspaper (taught me A LOT!) and finishing my spring semester with the highest GPA I've had since college started! : )

So far this summer I have completed 2, 3 hour classes- Media Law and Video for Media. They were both 3 weeks courses which made it quick, but while you are in the class your life is literally CONSUMED by the class! (both good and bad I guess)
I have 2 more classes I'm starting online in a few weeks- Public Relations Case Studies and E-Business and Online Marketing. Now you may be asking yourself: "Why in THE world is Susan taking 4 stinking classes this summer? She's got to be crazy!?"
Well here is my answer, 1. Yes I am totally crazy!, and 2. I changed my major last fall from Marketing to Public Relations/Advertising with a minor in Marketing, so I'm trying to make up for the hours I've lost. If I didn't do this then I would have had to stay an extra semester and I didn't really see the point!

Now that my classroom classes are over, I'll be starting a job at the Gap in a few weeks! While I'm in between things my plan is to go home for about 4 days this coming week. I visited my family for the weekend a few weeks ago and it was wonderful, to say the least! I didn't realize how much I missed being home.
The rest of the summer I'll be working, finishing up classes, visiting home some, going to a few more weddings and hopefully take a few short trips to Texas and up to NE Oklahoma to visit my friend, Katy!

My life has been hectic, but I love it. Taylor and I are doing wonderful. I'm so proud of him and I see great things for our future ; )
