THIS is why I am ok with switching my major...

Yes, I know. I still have yet to post my last blog entry but thats because my journal of events is currently sitting on my mothers bedside table so she can read up on every little thing I did in Costa Rica (that way I don't have to make sure I remember every little thing and I can just write it down).  I promise once I get it back I will finish the updating.

But now that I am home, and back to this terribly cold and snowy weather, its time to figure out my life again - good news this time though...

Finally, this year in school my classes have begun to overlap and are beginning to form something like an education that might actually be applicable to a career.  Tonight I was reading an article that I was assigned for my eBusiness class and was happy to see some encouraging data:

"According to researcher Borrell Associates, which tracks advertising trends, local-online advertising will grow to $16.1 billion this year, up from $13.7 billion in 2010."

Online = eBusiness  -my first major

Advertising = Marketing  - my second major

      the industry where I want to work just grew 3 billion dollars!!!

Yes, I know I just rounded up quite a bit, but I'm not the best at math - plus it makes me feel better to say 3 billion.  I am also currently learning in that class about how to make a webpage which is something I would really like to learn more about. I am looking forward to that a lot.

In a couple days there should be another post about the good news of my possible on-time graduation as well as my plans for work, interning and classes in the future so stay tuned!

always,
