So far, so good
It's the beginning of the third week of my senior year, and so far its been going great! By this time last year I would have already had so much work to do, but this year seems to be very different. I have a paper to write for one of my telecom classes that is due next Tuesday and a couple of projects to start thinking about, but besides that I seem to have more free time than I know what to do with.
Since I have all this free time, I am going to use it to start thinking about getting a job for after graduation. A great way to do this is through the Academic Advising and Career Development office at JMU. They provide on-campus interviewing and resume drops for numerous employers. In order to see if any employers will be coming to campus looking for someone in your area of expertise, you can sign up for a MadisonTrak account, which is a part of MonsterTrak. MadisonTrak allows you to search and see when certain employers will be coming to campus. Then all you have to do is submit your resume on MadisonTrak and you are able to pick a time to have the interview here on campus. I used MadisonTrak to go to a couple interviews for internships last year and it was good experience.
My senior project is also something I will have to start spending a large amount of my time thinking of. We had our first meeting last week with our teacher advisor. Part of the project will involve making a web interface for a database that was made this summer. The final project will most likely be a website that allows people to search the database to find information about water in the Shenandoah Valley or to find people who they can contact about water issues.
Its such a nice day today so I'm going to go out and enjoy it! Have a great week!
