It is hard to believe that the end of the quarter is so close. The communication technologies that I have learned to use will be enormously helpful in my professional future. 

I have created a business card and personal logo that will be crucial for networking in my future field of work and creating a brand for myself. Inspirationfeed has some really creative examples of personal logos as well as advice on how to create one.

I plan to continue blogging for as long as I live, whether it is for personal or professional reasons.

Keep an eye out for my name in the blogosphere!
