Graduating College

As the computer lab fills up with students at all hours of the day, it is the first sign of finals. I've got one down, only four more to go. Tomorrow is honors convocation and I am being awarded for my accomplishments as a student. And it is true, for real, I am a senior. I am graduating!

I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge The Exchange. I have been working on this online publication for the enitre school year (really since August), and I am very proud at the production every week. We are a very dedicated group of students. We are committed reporters. We seek to be the new wave of journalists in the world. I certainly hope to make a positive impact in the communities that I will become a part of in the future. The Exchange has strived to bring news, information, and interesting knowledge to its readers weekly. Hopefully we've done our job. I know that the experience that I have gained working inthis newsroom can never be taken away from me. I want to thank all of my colleagues for a wonderful year together. We should all be very proud.

Now there is the future: what will you be doing, where will you be working, living, hanging out, will you be able to survive? I know that these are all the questions that will be asked, that are already being asked of me, a graduating senior. So here I have provided the answers:

What will you do after graduation? Party! No more seriously, after the killer graduation party that I am throwing, I am going to go on tour with my fiance's band in June. We will be travelling out to Michigan and Illinois. when we get abck fromt hat we will be doing some very serious wedding planning. Then on July 21st Brett Wilson and I will commit ourselves to one another.

After the wedding we might move to a bigger place. We want to move to Keene since I will be taking graduate classes there at Franklin Pierce College. I will be a graduate student there. In early February I was asked by Dr. Nevious, the director of the Fitzwater Center, to be her new graduate assistant at the beginning of the 2007/2008 schoolyear in September. this means I will still be at the Rindge campus on almost a daily basis. I am very excited to start my new position here, which will begin the last week in June. Not only will I be continuing with my Mass Communications work, but I will also begin my business schooling and work towards my MBA in leadership.

So, next year I will still be seen in the Fitzwater center even though my time at the Exchange has expired. Th Exchange will be a deeply missed part of my life, but I am confident that I will undoubtedly find other challenging projects to consume my life as my time in the Fitzwater Center for Communications continues on.
