you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here

with this semester wrapping up, i'm down to my final months as a college student before graduation in may. as many of you can attest with your own experiences...soo hard to believe.

i'm a business major now but originally i was going to do CLEG. in either case, i never figured I'd be taking a class on blogs and social networking technology. i remember being one of the first of my friends from home to set up a facebook. how crazy is it to think i'd be taking a class on it before i graduated?? like that commercial says, life comes at you fast. sometimes in a good way.

as dissatisfied as i am with AU sometimes, it almost makes me proud to have a class like this. it's so current. text books and lectures and traditional powerpoints are so then. THIS is now.

i'm not sure exactly what we talked about in our class this one particular day, but things like blogs and user generated content came up in both of my classes later on in the day. i wouldn't have known much if it wasn't for stuff we did in this class. for once i felt like everything was coming together and i was truly receiving a real education.

as happy as i was for a second, it really made me think, too. education, success, happiness...they are all elusive entities. not something you can grab at once or hold on to very tightly. it takes continuous effort and development to stay on top of it. adapting is critical. recognizing how change can benefit you instead of how it might hurt you. the technology we studied is of course just a small part of it, but an important one at that.

thanks guys for a good semester and best of luck
see ya around
