Blending Theory With Reality

I had my internship review today, and it went really well! It is nice to know that real practitioners think I am on the path to success

. It's always great to hear that from friends or professors, but when actual people in the industry have faith, it's an awesome feeling.
I am also excited because I am going to start doing analysis of survey results and present them, AND I am researching the value of internet video and other new media for my internship (which is conveniently going to be the focus of my independent study next semester.)

I get to write up the proposal to launch video and other forms of new media on our internet media center, and my research will be the start of the white paper. How awesome!

Independent Study

I am registered for an independent study next semester, and I am pretty excited about it. I was talking to the professor that is overseeing my research, and we determined that I am on a good start (the role of new media and public relations) but I need to narrow it down.

But with traveling and prepping my house and studies for everything before the break, the topic slipped my mind. While trying to explain what I wanted to do to my parents, I got to thinking about it again, and now I am getting excited about it again.

Sometimes I feel like a nerd because I get so into my different research topics, but in this case I think its even more so because blogging and social networking have become so powerful in my field, so what I am researching will actually be relevant upon graduation.
