When I first started this blog, I decided that I would never post twice in one day. But today I must break this self-imposed rule. Because December 6, 2010 is one for the record books. Why, you ask? Because after years of trying, a photo I submitted has been selected as the USF Connect Featured Photo! The USF Featured Photo has been my Everest. You know what I mean… some people dream of scaling the world’s tallest peak, some dream of winning a Grammy, others dream of finishing a marathon. Me? I have wanted to have a picture chosen as the USF Featured Photo. And today it happened!
Here is my acceptance speech (don’t start playing the music yet!): I would like to thank Ed Carpenter, USF News Writer/Editor, for selecting my picture. My students, Ian, Michael, Abbey, and Lauren, as well as Ian’s friend, Tyler, for appearing in the picture. And my husband, Kevin, for taking the picture. I have dreamed of this day for a long time, and it is everything that I thought it would be! (Seriously… I startled Professor Thorson when I went running down the hall in excitement!).
I am going to take this opportunity to post the award-winning picture here (okay, yes, I know that I didn’t actually win an award…):

I’m also going to post pictures from our most recent Communication Studies Game Day, that happened yesterday at the women’s basketball game. Our Dons didn’t win, but we had a great time cheering them on, and I hope to see more of you at our Game Days when they return in the spring semester!
