Dear Santa,
My name is Samantha and I am a technical communication student. This year, I have been very, very good. I’ve been going to class and doing my homework. All my hard work must have paid off because I got straight “A”s this semester! Also, I’ve been eating my vegetables.
This year for Christmas, I’d like:
- Adobe Creative Suite 6
- A subscription to The Chicago Manual of Style Online
- The Copyeditor’s Handbook, by Amy Einsohn
- Conversation and Community — The Social Web for Documentation, by Anne Gentle
- The Secret Life of Word, by Robert Delwood
These will be great for the upcoming semester and when I get that first job. If you can see your way clear, an endless supply of chocolate and caffeine would be good too, at least that’s what all the professionals in technical communication tell me.
Santa, I also want to tell you to keep warm and drink plenty of hot chocolate with Mrs. Claus. I’ll leave some treats out for you and some carrots for the reindeer. Say hi to the elves for me.
Sincerely,
Samantha
Technical Communication Student
