So some incredibly exciting news, I have received an internship!!! I will be a staff writer for a publishing house here in Lubbock, Texas. This is wonderful as it can open up a lot of golden opportunities and get me a foot in the door within my field. I shan't get into the details as far as how it all came about but I am rather excited. Hopefully this will lead to the fulfillment of my dream to be able to write articles from my own home after I am married! :)
Happy day, happy day! In my classes I have been beginning to feel like a Law Student since I am taking a Contemporary Rhetoric class and a class on Constitutional Law. I have studying, reading, and discussing rhetoric, the sciences of persuasion, as well as court cases and legal jargon. It's certainly a challenge and I by no means wish to be a Law Student, but I am however enjoying myself immensely. As an example, a favorite quote from one of my favorite poets and rhetoricians:
"There is no lighter a burden,
no more agreeable,
than a pen."
-Petrarch
Though he is not a part of the great Triumvirates of Rhetoric such as, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, he is perhaps my favorite. Besides he was a poet ;)
