Final Post!

So it's the end of the semester, and it only feels like it just started! Thank goodness I'm taking summer courses (In the most sarcastic tone possible). But, I have definitely learned a lot through this semester. One thing that has stuck in my head the most, has been chapter four: Identity. My final project actually deals with clothing and identity and how we actually perform through dress. It's going to be really fun. Unfortunately, I can't explain too much of what I will be doing, but I will talk about how occupation, age, gender and possibly how different cultures tie in with how we dress. I really like the aspect of performativity and and dress. The way we dress is a way as how we perform through our daily lives. I find this topic to be so interesting because everyone has their own style of dress, which makes us very unique. I come in to class sometimes, still wearing my PJ's. Does this make me seem lazy, yes, but it makes me feel comfortable while I'm learning. I'm still engaging in conversation and making sure I have some sort of input. I had a great time this semester, and I can't wait for what lies ahead of me in the future of communication studies.

My communication event!

So, today (sorry that it took so long) I went to a a communication event that involved the senior seminar class. Granted, I have a long way to go before I take this class, but it was fairly interesting and informative for what I am to look forward to when I do take my 198 class. So you can either become a coach for communication studies, or you can get an internship or start up a blog that can help other fellow communication studies majors with some sort of help. Personally, I can't get an internship or do a blog due to my busy work schedule (Let alone, I had a hard enough time trying to make sure I got the blogs done in time for this class). By the way, thanks for everyone sticking in and actually giving feedback. YOU ROCK! This was a really cool event for three reasons. I got to meet a couple of professors who gave me some cool feedback at what I might like to do considering my busy schedule. I got to meet graduates that had some really neat perspectives on what they're doing with their communications degree, and lastly, I got some inside on who the "cool" professors were. I told everyone that I had Deanna as my professor, and only a few new who she was. I had to give it up for her and let them know they should engage in some of her classes. It was a great little seminar that lasted rough an hour an a half, plus they served tea, cookies, and other assortments of treats. It was a fun and very insightful!
