Spring semester of my senior year has begun!
This semester I'm taking six classes:
-COMM 324 Electronic Communication in the Global Community
-COMM 401 Advanced Technical Writing: Software Documentation (independent study)
-COMM 401 Rhetorical Theory & Practice (independent study)
-ENGL 310 Theory & Teaching of Writing
-ENGL339A Queer Theory
-COMM 490 Portfolio Workshop
I love all of my classes, but I think Rhetorical Theory is my favorite. I know it will help prepare me for grad school! I've applied to 14 schools, and have two more applications to go. I'm applying to English MA programs focused on composition and rhetoric. I'm quite nervous!

My senior year has officially begun. Fall semester began yesterday and our sleepy summer campus is now buzzing.
This semester I am taking:
* Digital Imaging (basically digital photography)
* Professional Writing
* Technical Writing
* The Forum (the school newspaper)
* Directed Study: Religious Rhetoric
This year I am an RA (Resident Advisor) in Stock Hall. I have three roommates who I adore and my room is finally all decorated.
I love the first few weeks of school. All of my friends are back on campus and everyone is excited for school again. ASWC has already had lots of fun events and there is actually at least one event planned every day until mid September!
Well, I am off to hang with my little sis (through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah) and then help with the upperclassmen BBQ hosted by the RAs!

I started my Development/Event Planning internship at the Girl Scouts of Utah in early June and each day I am there confirms that I am, in fact, in the right place.
A couple weeks ago as I sat at my desk editing a letter for a donor and organizing table tents and name tags for our big golf tournament, one of my supervisors came running out yelling, "Where's my team!?" (meaning all of us in development). I turned around and she and the grant writer were dancing. Dancing. A lot. Then I learned why - they had just received a $60,000 donation, which will be able to purchase half of the cost of a cabin for the girl scout summer campers.
But what brought a smile on my face was the fact that they were excited not just about getting money, but about the use of it - the possibilities of it for the girls they work so hard for each and every day. They were thrilled for the girls.
Nonprofit is the only way to go for me if I ever have a career with any sort of business or organization. What a blessing to be immersed in such a giving-oriented atmosphere every day of the week.
