INTRO- in the middle :)

My name is Eileen. I am a senior at Old Dominion University, and plan to graduate in May (if everything goes according to plan). I am currently enrolled in a class called Public Journalism in the Digital Age, a communications class aimed at educating students in the ways of journalism online and the technology that goes along with it.
I have a range of interests here at ODU, such as our men’s basketball team, which has been to the NCAA tournament every year that I’ve attended ODU. Though we didn’t get very far in the “big dance” we still attended and played our hearts out, GO ODU! I also enjoy our men’s soccer team (or football, depending on where you live). We have an incredibly talented range of sports from basketball, soccer and baseball. One of our pitchers for the baseball team is playing professionally (I can’t remember which team).
ODU is currently going through a major redevelopment phase, otherwise known as construction. Our school looks like a huge construction site, with patches of construction going on all over campus. Actually Norfolk (the city ODU is in) is also going through some patchy construction, so it’s hard to avoid. Since ODU is undergoing a facelift we will have an amazing new football stadium (American football) to receive the fall 2009 team. We will also be opening a new fitness center complete with a suspended track, basketball court, pool, and fitness rooms (weight rooms, cardio rooms, and rooms for fitness classes) all free for ODU students, faculty and alumni.
I also have many other interests and opinions that I may want to research or just blog about. That is why I am creating this blog (plus its part of the class and I have too ). A variety of ideas and topics will be posted here. I hope you enjoy reading them, maybe learn something and please respond back with your opinions, ideas and comments. Thank you! Have a wonderful week!
