Graduation...

It seems a little odd to start writing a blog during a time of large transition like graduating college but then at the same time, it is a very fitting moment to start sharing my life and writings. I have often wanted t0 start a blog because it seems like the thing to do, but also because it is a way for me to practice my writing. I am currently finishing up my degree with a major in English/Communications. I have completed all of my normal class work, papers, tests, and finals. I have even "rolled" across the stage. My final three credits which I will be completing this summer is an internship where I take what I have learned in the classroom and apply it to the real world for experience to put on a resume. I am starting this internship in the beginning of June. I will be a Communications and Government Relations Intern for Advocate HealthCare at there corporate offices. I can't wait to start working there and gaining experience which I am sure will be extremely stressful and challenging at times. Also another job/volunteer thingy which I will be doing this summer is volunteering with Ben Lowe's congressional campaign. I am pretty excited to see some behind the scenes of a Christian running for a political office. I don't really know what I will be doing but I am starting this week so I should know soon. After college, I have a couple days of break and then jumping into volunteer work and an internship. I know both of these things will offer huge opportunities of learning experience, contacts, and so much more. I'm really excited to start both of them to avoid just spending time sitting at home. Well, lie after college is a big transition and I sometimes worry if I am really ready for it, but I know that God is guiding my footsteps or rolls as I follow His leading. The purpose of this blog may change in time but for now it is an opportunity to share what is going on in this changing time of life, to post old, current, and new writings of mine in order to recieve critique, post articles and reviews which I find interesting - basically an outlet for me to show my creativity of writing and others, and finally share what God is doing in my life. So, if you want to come along for the ride as I trokke my way through it. :)
