It's crunch time. Last week of Media Research and Writing. Time to finish my last blog post, finish the last assignments and hopefully make up for the presentation that I missed. The classes go by so quick, which is nice but also crams a lot of work into a small space.
One thing that I really enjoyed and appreciated about this class is the interaction with the other students. The size of this class has been small and that has been kind of cool. It's felt like one big group project. We did have one group assignment but spent a lot of time in discussion groups and presenting to one another, which has built a team feeling.
It's been fun!

Life Balance
We had a great assignment where we were making and presenting deliverables for a non-profit after reviewing strengths and weaknesses of their annual report. I chose Humane Society of the United States. I feel familiar with the organization but still have a lot to learn.
One of the common themes of my deliverables and the weakness I found in their report is that they do such a vast array of things, but most people don't know that. I didn't even know that after working in animal welfare for many years.
The project was great. I learned a lot about the organization and how to promote it. I didn't get the change to present with everyone else due to work. One day I will find a life balance.

Public Relations
It's been a minute since I've used this thing! I've been busy with work, school, fundraising, dog mom stuff.
One of those things I mentioned is school. I'm getting my Bachelor's degree in Public Relations at Franklin University. Thought I'd be graduating this summer but do to course availability turns out it will be fall of 2018.
Anyway, one of my classes, Media Research and Writing, has an assignment where we are supposed to blog about the class so this is a fun way to get back to my blog.
I'm really excited about this blog project. I love when school projects intersect with other things in our lives. Writing a blog used to be a huge part of my life and school still is a huge part of my life so I like the challenge of getting back to blogging, at least for a few posts.
It's kind of cool how we get more from our classes than just knowledge. We get gateways to other things.
