My First Semester as a....SENIOR!!!!

It hit me yesterday that this upcoming semester will (hopefully) be my last spring semester at JMU (thanks to transfer credits from governor's school and taking extra credit hours during several semesters...guess that stuff was worthwhile after all! Haha). I still can't completely grasp the fact that I'm set to graduate next December. Then I'll be forced to enter the real working world...which should prove to be interesting based on the current job market. Ah well, in the meantime, at least I have another year left to enjoy college! Speaking of which, the whole initial point of this post was to inform you all that for the third semester in a row, I again have Mike as a professor for political communication. This semester, I am taking his Argument and Advocacy class, and yet again, he is requiring that we maintain a blog. The difference is, this time we have to blog about a single topic that is important to us. This may come as a big shocker to most of you (insert sarcasm here :P), but I'm strongly leaning toward focusing on conservationism. I'm going to think about it a bit more before I make my final decision though. Another exciting, yet challenging component of this course is to complete an advocacy project concerning the issue that we blog about. So in other words, if I choose conservationism as my advocacy issue, then I will have to organize a campus or community-wide event that puts my advocacy into action (i.e. a park clean up day). I'm open to any ideas/suggestions about this, so please feel free to comment with any ideas that you may have.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful week! :)
