The start of a new season.

And no, I’m not just talking about another round of Gator football.

I’m referring to a brand new semester—a new season in my career, my education and my life.

I love new beginnings. I love knowing that children around the state have stocked their JanSports with shiny new school supplies and have started to to jot down, earnestly for now, their homework assignments in a new planner.

It’s only Thursday and the warm appeal of the first week of school has yet to wear off on me.

I am extremely excited about the school year—my professors are well-known, accomplished professionals. And they’re funny. My journalism classes—Communications on the Internet, Fact Finding, and Writing for Health and Fitness— are classes I have wanted to take for a while and I am thrilled about all the new techniques and skills I will be learning.

Before I dish further about my new classes, I am going to review the courses I took last semester.

That’s whats coming up.
