Happy Friday!

Hello out there! How are ya? I haven't talked to you all in a while. I've been super busy with school and other things in my exciting life (haha).

So, what's new you might ask? What's new is graduation is 69 days away! YAHOO! Do you know how HAPPY that makes me and my fellow graduates?! However, there is this little thing called class getting in the way of graduation. So far, I'm doing pretty well in my classes. The only class that I am a little scared about is my Senior Seminar class. In this class, we have do to a 25-page paper on a topic related to change. My topic is on elderly people and pet ownership, and what happens to these people when they have to give up their pets when they enter a long term health care facility. The change comes in when we look at what could be done differently to help facilitate elderly people when they loose their pets. So, you think a 25-page paper is all you have to do for this class? This sounds easy. Haha my friends. You are wrong. Along with the paper, we have to read 4 articles a week that is chosen by are classmates to be discussed during class. We are separated into 2 groups where we discuss 2 articles and write a reflection paper for the other 2 articles we did not discuss. Also, we have to do a poster presentation and power point presentation over our paper. Yes, it's a lot of work, but surprisingly I'm doing well in keeping up with the required reading and my paper! =)

On a more personal note, I have started to look for a full time job after graduation. I have applied to around 15 jobs already, and I've heard back from one already. The job is at ITT Technical Institute in Carmel, IN, and the position is for the Student Success Coordinator. I've been playing phone tag with the HR lady for about a week now, and if I don't hear back from her tomorrow I'm going to give her another call. It's actually a scary process applying for jobs because jobs are so scarce right now that everyone who has the qualifications for a job is applying. So, I have to make myself stand out even more! I'll keep you updated how my job hunt goes as the semester rolls along.

Well, my Wolves, I need to get back to the homework. Have a great weekend, and I will talk to you later!

HOWL!
