Fall Fun at Georgetown

Hello All!

It’s a beautiful time here at Georgetown. The leaves are falling on Giddings lawn and autumn is in full swing!

Last time we talked I was getting ready to celebrate Halloween, Georgetown style. I had such a great time at the parties that weekend and everyone was so creative with their costumes. Dancing the night away with all my friends made the night even better! I have to say it was definitely one of my favorite college experiences so far!

This fall has also been an exciting time for sports as well. Georgetown football has had a very successful season and just won their conference this past weekend! My friends and I love going to watch the games and always make our way to the Kentucky football games when we get the chance. The weather has been perfect which has made the season that much more enjoyable. It’s about that time to start shifting gears and getting ready for basketball season though, my favorite!

On to the academics…

Classes are still going strong and now the countdown begins for Thanksgiving break! It’s been a difficult couple of weeks with an English paper and a Foundations paper both due on the same day, but now that they are over I can look forward to the final weeks of the semester and the dreaded finals at the end. Scheduling takes place this week and I’m anxious to see what classes I will be participating in next semester. I can’t believe I’m already thinking about second semester of freshman year! It’s coming up very quickly and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for me.

Georgetown has given me so many opportunities for experience. This past week I got to travel to Frankfort with the radio team for a live broadcast from the capital to report the election results. It was such a great learning experience for me as I got to see how a broadcast was put together and how news like this was gathered and reported. Being a communication major it was an awesome opportunity for me to get to know the upperclassmen communication majors and ask them any questions I had for them. I was also able to participate in the process of finding a new professor to join the communications staff. I was able to listen in on phone interviews and ask questions to the prospective professors which gave me great insight into the job application process. I realize that these are opportunities are because of Georgetown’s small size and the fact that I get to establish such close relationship with my professors.

I hope that all of you all that are making decisions about college consider class size as a factor in your final choice. I didn’t realize how beneficial to the learning process that a class of at most 20 students really can be. Because there aren’t as many students in the class there is more opportunity for one-on- one help and conferences where the professors are more than happy to help you with any problems you might run into whether school related or even general help.

I love Georgetown College and everything it has provided me with, and I hope you all stay tuned to my journey though my freshman year!
