Spring Quarter has Sprung!

It's a new quarter at ONU and I am taking an interesting menagerie of classes.

First I have "Personal Health Problems" a health class taught by a very entertaining Kate Witty. Her name, Witty, fits her. I literally took this class because I heard the professor is a trip. This is true. Professor Witty slides in her dry humor and sarcasm so quickly that some students miss the joke. I almost wish I had taken the class at a later time so that my classmates were more awake to laugh with me. I laugh pretty obnoxiously, and it can be embarrassing to laugh alone!

My next class is "Campaigns" taught by the lovely, recently titled Doctor, Dr. Alisa Agozzino, or more lovingly known as "Aggie" by many of her favorite students. This class will likely be the toughest simply because it's labor-intensive. I am excited though, because the first day I won a giant lollipop for most creative "neighbor introduction." My partner, Callie Crum, also did a fantastic job of introducing me. (high-five, Callie)

I am also taking "Principles of Marketing" my first official business in the upscale Dicke College of Business. (I say upscale because this building has gorgeous architecture and about 10 times as many classrooms as my quaint communications section of the Performing Arts Center) My professor is... interesting. She lives an intriguing life and I know this because our first lecture was pretty much about well, her. She is however, energetic and knows a lot about her field so I am sure I will gain something useful from the class.

I am taking PR practicum, which is a standard that I've been taking 1 credit in since Spring of last year. Basically I just do work outside of class that is considered "PR experience" and log the hours to gain credit. That class is with Dr. Stephen Iseman APR, PRSA Fellow, the head of our department. He's awesome. Easy as that. Oh and PRSA's Educator of the year 2009. Get it Dr. I.

Finally I am taking "Digital Photography" with Professor Tim Carrig. So far all we have done is listen to his love of photography, look at photos and talk about old photographers. The history lesson and viewing photos was cool but his story about his love for photography took almost 1.5 hours to explain... A little much. Should be a fun class and a good way to learn Photoshop, though.

Spring quarter has sprung, and already I have a full plate. Normally my plate is full by the middle of a quarter so it seems I will really being piling it on! Hopefully I survive and have a fantastic internship this summer. In Texas. So I can be with some of the most amazing people in my life ever. My "in-laws." Haha.
