Things are looking up



Things are changing around here...

My husband got a promotion to Assistant Manager at Wal Mart. We are waiting to find out where his job will be. It could be within driving distance of Tulsa, but we aren't for sure. We do know it should be in this area. He has to attend a four week class to be trained in his new job before he is moved. Which means that Japan is postponed until a later date.

Another bit of good news...I'm going back to college. I'm attending Tulsa Community College and studying Strategic Communications, otherwise known as Public Relations. I will be finishing my Associates degree there and lack 6-8 classes! I am also being approved for financial aid. I will only be going part time since that is what my aid will cover due to my previous degree. This works out well for me anyway due to having seizures and being unable to take on a full schedule.

Once I have completed this degree, I will be attending Oklahoma State University to finish my B.A. in Strategic Communications. I will be eligible for the Transfer Scholarship by then and will take anything offered. All I need is 24 plus transferable hours and a 3.25 g.p.a. both of which I can fulfill. My college Advisor and I have worked up a plan where I would take courses at OSU-Tulsa and then ride the big orange bus to Stillwater where my Public Relations courses are.

This fall, I am taking an 8 week course in Advanced Composition. It's my way of getting back into the swing of things...and it was the only thing available this fall semester at short notice. No matter what happens with Kenneth's job, we have decided that my education is also a priority and we will work it out.

My long range goal is to get back into the media field, most likely part time and/or remote in public relations and social media. I'd like to work with various companies and be a spokeswoman/influencer.

Oh.....and on my @Magiktraveler, I now have 1k plus followers! I'm super excited and happy!

Stay tuned, I will be taking you along on my new adventures!

TTFN,

Gabrielle

Finish strong!

We're down to the last few weeks folks! I have to finish my editorial on the college admissions scandal this weekend and this month will be attending a religious service for intercultural communication. On the 18th, I will be attending the Campus Activities Board for student leadership recognition and then a gala for winning a scholarship! This has been a challenging semester with lots of illness and pain, but I can see the light. I will have three weeks off until my summer classes start. I am taking Social Media Marketing and Honors TCC Connection. My job requires all students working there to enroll in a class each semester to advance their learning. In the fall, I am taking Principles of Advertising, Honors TCC Connection, Digital Photography, and Japanese I. Wish me luck! Gabrielle

Why going back to work was the best thing I could have done

I was a stay at home wife and furmom for the better part of a decade. I enjoyed it, but it got to where I needed more. I needed challenges and interaction from other people. I went back to college at Tulsa Community College last fall and aced my class. I applied and started working at The TCC Connection in December 17th. It has been a great experience for me and I'm loving meeting new people. I love the interaction with my coworkers and the camaradie. I also enjoy being involved in campus activities and being a part of the campus activities board. But mostly, I've enjoyed being a part of a community again. I enjoy being busy and having exciting new challenges everyday. It's days like today where I am at home ill that makes me appreciate my new life. I enjoyed my old life, but I have a great new one and I couldn't be happier.
