Hi everyone! It was great seeing both new and familiar faces Wednesday night! My name is Kristen McLaughlin. I am a second-year graduate student, and I am very excited about this class.
I am in the mass communication graduate program, aspiring to be a public relations specialist. I have about four years of experience working as a writer/editor for community newspapers. I attended college at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor for my undergraduate degree. I graduated with a B.A. in mass communication and a minor in business. I believe web design and social media are very valuable skills to have in any career these days, and I look forward to learning this semester.
I moved to Georgetown from Massachusetts while I was in high school and have lived in the Austin area since then. I love Central Texas, and am hoping to find a job here after I graduate with my Master’s in May. When I am not studying, I enjoy reading, watching movies, going for walks and spending time with family, friends and my dogs, . I haven’t been walking in this weather though —I am definitely looking forward to my favorite seasons in Texas, fall and winter. I look forward to taking this class with you and getting to know you better. You can connect with me on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. I am new to blogging, but I look forward to doing more of this.
The Internet has been integrated into our everyday lives for so long that I have never really stopped to think about how it came to be what it is today. It was interesting to learn more about the people who helped launch and develop the Internet in the video we watched. It reminded me of what an impact the Internet has had on the media and communication in general. Even the little things, like the creation of the @ sign, have made a huge difference. I never knew that the people who developed the Internet were inspired by concepts such as how mice found their way through a maze. I definitely gained even more of an appreciation for everyone who has played a role in developing the Internet!
Once again, it was great seeing everyone in class and I look forward to learning with you!
