Introduction

To begin the blog, here is a little bit about me. You can find some of this information in my Blogger profile, but my first assignment for COMM 350 requires me to include it in my first post.

My name is Gina Cole. I am a senior at Western Washington University. I graduate March 17, 2012, with a double major in journalism and communication, as well as a minor in psychology.

I created this particular blog (I seem to accumulate them, thanks to my majors and my interest in writing) for COMM 350: Emerging Communication Technologies. As I mentioned above, this post is my first assignment for the class. We'll follow each other's blogs all quarter.

Because I am a news junkie and am interested in politics, and this is an evening class, I'm going nuts trying not to check the Iowa Republican caucus results every five seconds. Last I checked (during a lull in the class -- don't worry!), Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney were tied at the top, with Ron Paul just a few votes behind. So, in the spirit of that, here's a video about the caucuses.
