Looking back on a semester of blood, sweat and tears

December 7, 2006 | |

My post for this week is a little late. To say it has been busy would be an understatement. I have been hard at work for the last week and a half (actually off and on for the past month) on my Style & Design final project. I turned the whole thing in today and have never felt so completely enamored with my own work as I am right now.

I have worked countless hours tweaking, perfecting and adjusting my website templates, photos, brochure, newsletter, and tutorials. If I receive the A that I’ve been shooting for on this project, it will be the hardest A I’ve ever earned. While it has, no doubt, (and all of my classmates will verify) been a semester of blood, sweat and tears, it has been one of my greatest learning experiences.
All of that to say, thank you Robert French! For introducing me to a world of blogs and wikis and memes that I never even knew existed. For teaching me how to handle an ungodly workload like its nothing. For teaching me to think and respond and form my own ideas about this crazy profession I’m about to enter. For giving me the opportunity to meet and network with the some of world’s top PR people. And for giving me an education in new PR tools that will set me apart from every other PR graduate out there.

It has truly been an enlightening semester, and I have accomplished more than I would have ever thought possible. Robert, if you’re reading, this is not a shameless, last-ditch effort for brownie points. I’m proud of what I’ve done and what I know. And I’m very thankful for the opportunity to take your class (they threatened not to offer it) . Keep up the good work, Robert, and by “good work” I do mean rigorous schedule, impossible requirements and incessant sarcasm ;). It’s all part of the Style & Design experience.

Thank you, Christi. I enjoyed being in class with you this semester.

Your final project looks very nice on your brand new site / domain, too. Welcome to the digital resume of Christin D. Eubanks.

Please keep in touch after you graduate. I’ll enjoy learning what you’re doing with all this PR / social media stuff we’ve discussed in class.

Take care.
