Introduction

Hi Everyone!!

Obviously, my name is Jessica Bedenbaugh :); I go by Jess, Jessie, Jessica, or by my last name since quite often there are numerous Jessica's around. I'm 19, and will be 20 next month. I am a military brat so I've lived in a variety of places, but home for me now is Colonial Beach, Va which is super small. (My graduating class had about 40 kids in it, and, yes, I went to a public school.) I am now a junior at ODU; my major is communications and I have a focus in public relations. I'm hoping to earn my master's degree in humanities with a focus in communications once I graduate with my bachelor's and eventually work public affairs for the military. I love to read and will curl up with a book at any chance. I also love movies; one of my favorite things to do is have movie marathons with friends. I am a beach bum, and love spring and summer. I like to play volleyball and watch sports, even if I don't always know what's going on.

The purpose of this blog is to answer the writing prompts set by my instructor and meet the requirements of the class. I imagine that it will entail some definitions, essays, and critical questions about the assigned readings having to do with rhetorical criticism.
