I have been away from my blog for far too long. And you all missed me, right? haha. It is okay if you did not.
I can say things seem to be going great. All that hard work paid off last semester, I almost had straight A's. There was one B, which I was perfectly fine with because I just really wanted to pass. So achievement unlocked: I made it out alive and am just a few short days away from tackling the second have of my junior year of university. Which is terrifying as well as thrilling to see all the work I have accumulated over the past 5 semesters paying off.
I in a way lucked out this semester. I am taking 15 units, 3 of which are being taken online, while the rest fall onto only Tuesdays and Thursdays. Which for me is rather odd, because if anything I pictured myself as a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday student seeing as most of the journalism classes take place then. However, this seems like a blessing nonetheless. Less work, right? WRONG.
On top of only taking Tuesday and Thursday classes, I will be working on campus with the Online and Professional Studies department dealing with Search Engine Optimization on Mondays and Fridays, while still attending to all my webmaster duties for the newspaper.
I find this exciting because SEO was exactly what I was wanting to learn in order to hone in on my social networking and media knack. I hope that this will help me later when looking for a job once I graduate, so you can bet I am looking forward to this job.
But I also find it worrisome because I will not be as involved with the newspaper as I would like to be. I want to be more hands on so that I can get to know the new writers and get a feel for who they are as well as their writing styles. I definitely will be coming in as often as I can, but I cannot guarantee it will be like I wish.
I'm hoping this all goes well. I know the Lord has a plan for me. He had been opening plenty of doors for me and I know and am aware that at any moment one of these doors can be just as easily closed. But with having said that I will put my faith in the Lord because He is in control and His plan is the best plan for me. I just pray that He would show me the way and that I would follow it with my whole heart.
Please keep me in pray. Pray that I be confident in the Lord and that He would guide me as to what I shall do in these situations and experiences He has planned for me. That I will continue to grow stronger in my relationship with Him and that I will be strong in my faith and walk.
Thank you and God Bless! :]
