Just checking in

Today was my first day back to class after Fall Break. Had a very yawn-inducing session on Aristotle & Rhetoric and managed to get back home without freezing. Okay, it's only 50-something degrees but I'm from the Caribbean so I'm excused! In other news, I have a staggering amount of work to do for the week ahead but you know what, I'll deal with it tomorrow Scarlett O'Hara-esque style. This is just a short post though so I can get used to posting regularly. I have alot to post about..hopefully I get around to it this week.

All About Grad. School

So I'm in Grad. school! Honestly I don't feel any different. I always looked at graduate students as these mature, have-it-all-together kind of people but now that I'm here I realized that this is DEFINITELY not the case :)
But it is different from undergrad. I actually have to do the work! Trying to fake it definitely does not work, well at least not in my classes. My life has started to revolve around journal articles and citations...lol. So much so that I'm starting to feel like a mousy librarian minus the sexy glasses and piled up hair. My wardrobe is in dire need of a major upgrade. My hair is a mess...and can someone please get me a fortnightly pedicure?! *sigh*
But you know what ..I really shouldn't complain, in two years it'll all be over and provided the economy doesn't 'crater' (LOL) I'll have my dream job. So it's 12:17 a.m. and I'm about to jump back into the article abstracts.
Ciao!

Welcome to the blog!

I've been thinking about blogging for sometime now, you know, not because I really had anything of importance to say but perhaps just as an experiment to see if this blogging thing is really all it's cracked up to be. But the more I thought about it, I realized that I do have a lot of important things to say about a lot of issues pertaining to my passions: communication and the Caribbean.

I'm a newly minted graduate student hoping to get through the next two years without too much pain and to emerge with my M.A. in Strategic Comm. with a concentration in Public Relations. Along the way I hope to have many good adventures. Those kinds that will teach me something about the profession I've chosen and the people who do this kind of work for a living. More than likely though I'll have a totally boring and uninspiring two years. :-)

If you've stumbled across this blog I hope I haven't scared you away and I hope you come back.
