Schools out for summer!

WOW! have the past couple of weeks been hectic! Last weeks were exams, I had three in class exams, one take home final, and one final project! The final project wasn't difficult at all, it was actually really fun! It was for my Rhetorics class, I had to design a campaign piece for a presidential candidate and it could be whatever I wanted it to be. Seeing how I'm a marketing major I wanted to go for something a bit more fun and people could see very easily and all over the place. It ended up being a t-shirt. I took a different approach on the project then everyone else (like always because I think outside of the box) and made my piece more of a get people to vote in general than for one person in particular. Although I did put a candidates name on it(because I had to), it wasn't my main focus. The shirt ended up saying McCain 2008 on the front and then on the back it said "You say one vote doesn't count...What would happen then if nobody voted? Make you vote count Vote McCain" I didn't really have a reason why I chose McCain I just did because I knew not too many people would be doing pieces on him.

My three in class exams were finished by Tuesday and I wrapped up my take home Tuesday afternoon too. I think I put a total of 12 hours working on it. My teacher said it would take anywhere between 8-24 hours to complete it so I was really nervous that I wouldn't do good on it. I've been freaking out about getting a good grade on it since I turned it in seeing how I had to do good on it to do good in the class because I struggled with the class this semester. But guess what! I ended up getting an 81% on the final! I was so excited when I found out I jumped up and down! haha!

Now that school is done I get to relax (YAY!) for a bit. I'm living downstate for the summer just North of Detroit with Cory, and I'm looking for an internship / work for the summer and I'm also going to be taking a couple of classes, but they don't start until July. Right now I'm just waiting until Golda's wedding and starting to try to get everything together so that Cory and I can start planning ours too!
