What I want to get...

Business Communications/Writing:

This class has really surprised me thus far because its taking me back to Communications 150. I believe that is where it started at. It was there that I became familiar with some of the topics that have been mentioned in English 304 in the past class meetings. The more popular topics that are very similar: knowing who your audience is, the communication process in itself, and the culture. At this point everything seems familiar but I am planning to stick with the course to find out what more I can learn. Because when I want that big job offer I want to know the most appropriate ways to go about getting it whether through email, face to face, etc.

After the events of the following night I am super surprised that I made it to class this morning. But no slacking can occur this semester so I had no choice; just hope the rest of the day goes as smoothly!
