Ello Folks!
So some exciting things are going on in Athens today. First off, it is finally getting back to the beautiful weather that it should be! Today it is 70 degrees outside and students have ditched the winter jackets for shorts and sunscreen. Secondly, today all of the dining halls are having a special dinner dedicated to the Chinese New Year and we are going to indulge in wontons and egg rolls tonight! Yes, I know it is ridiculous to be this excited about dining hall food, but it's been a while since I have eaten a good fortune cookie.
Sorry for writing so late, I have been waiting to hear back from Jonathan Gibson at Penske Racing about my internship for the summer. I was going to try and share all the exciting details with you guys, but I will just have to write about it next week! I could not be more excited. Getting an internship as a freshman is not something that happens everyday, and I cannot wait to get real experience with such an awesome company. I was actually talking with my advisor, and she says that it will be really good to write about in my statement of interest for when I apply to Grady School of Journalism.
In other news, I have started doing UGA Newsource again (which is the UGA news show)! This past week I was the floor director, and I got to direct the anchors during the show. It was pretty busy because there are a lot of new people that are volunteering, but eventually they stop coming and it will get back to normal haha. Areshia has actually started working at the show too, and she seems to really like it! TV Production is actually her major, so she actually has a reason for being there, but I'm just doing it for fun.
In Freshman Forum (Student Government) we all chose what service project we are going to work on this semester, and I chose to do Human Trafficking Awareness. Human Trafficking is a huge problem all over the world, but especially in Atlanta, GA. Atlanta is one of the top cities that is affected by Human Trafficking, and most people have no idea. My project group is working on a couple events to raise awareness, and hopefully make some motion with this issue. I am really excited about this, and I think some of our ideas will really make an impact on this campus. I'll keep you guys updated!
My classes are really picking up down here, I turned in two papers this week, and next week I have THREE tests!!! Its crazy stuff, and I am going to be a stress out maniac for a couple of days. My tests are in Spanish, Interpersonal Communication, and Intro to Public Relations. So please keep me in your prayers!
So I just want to write about my friends down here for a little while. When I first got to UGA, I was completely alone, and I was hesitant to completely open myself up to random people. But I now look around, and I constantly see people who I have grown to care about, and people that care about me. Forming relationships down here has been so rewarding, and I have gotten to have some awesome experiences by taking this leap of faith. One of my really good friends down here, Jennifer is also a PR major and we really just get along so well. The other night Me , Jennifer, and her roommate Kathryn were all doing Pilates on their dorm room floor at like 11:00 at night...so hilarious haha. I want to mention Meredith- she is an art major, she is soooo talented! She teaches sunday school with me, and we always have a good time together, you can always find us with coffee in our hands haha. I also want to talk about Ashton! She is just about the sweetest person I have ever met in my life, and she is actually getting married this May! Ashton has the cutest country accent, and we like to unite on the fact that we are both the blondes, and we definitely have more fun. I will be sure to mention some others later, but I don't want you guys to get to bored haha.
I love you all so so so so so much!! Please write back and tell me how everything is going, because I miss you guys!
Audios,
Mason :)
