Oh, how the tables have turned...

At tonight's PRSSA meeting, we were lucky enough to have two OU alumnae, M.J. Clark and Jessica Hamlin join us and give us tips on the interview process for jobs and internships, and basically discussed things that we may not have thought of when it comes to life in the PR industry.

One topic of discussion was blogs. Jessica Hamlin suggested that we all blog about "our passions". Now I'll be the first to admit, this blog has no real direction, and this statement hit home. I need to focus on things that I think matter. I need to find a real area to explore, not just stick out my feelers and write about whatever suits my fancy! 

This got me thinking. My passions seem sort of trivial to the world of PR...dance, literature, cinema...do you see a trend?

That's when it hit me. 

What is my specialization...Fine Arts and English.
What have I enjoyed all my life...Fine Arts and English.
What is my passion...Fine Arts and English.
Therefore, what should my blog be about?

You got it...Fine Arts and English.

I'm going to try to focus on the Fine Arts of the world...more specifically the art that is affecting the United States from around the world. I want to include dance, music, literature, theatre...all of the things that make me happy and make me forget about my stressful life. 

This is going to be a trial run...hopefully in an effort to find my true passions and develop a following, I'll realize if it is the right choice or not. 

Wish me luck! And the title and web address are likely to change...hopefully a change for the better!
