Time really does fly. I can't believe that I'm a senior in college already. What am I going to do with my life? First thing is first, I need to find myself an internship. Actually before that, I need to get myself acquainted with my classwork.
Monday was my last first day of classes. I'm about 90% positive that I won't try for any sort of masters or doctorate, I just want to get out there and work in a field that I love. I start off every day with a 9:30 class in Advertising with the same professor. Monday is account management. I mostly excited for the fact that we are going to take a whole bunch of field trips to agencies and I will hopefully make some big time connections for later.
After a wonderful meal from our cook, Rob, I went to my next class which is sure to be one of my favorites, Broadcast Sports Production. As a person who loves sports, shooting and editing, I can tell you that this class is culmination of all my loves. Today we pitch an idea of a long form sports production. I know what I will pitch but we will see how it stacks up against the other ideas.
Tuesday starts out with a Advertising research. The teacher had us go around, introduce ourselves and say whether or not we would take a research class if it wasn't required. I'm pretty sure I was the only person who was honest and said "No, I wouldn't take a research class if I had the choice." It made me feel like a jackass but it's the truth. Who really enjoys doing research anyway?
From ad research I went to marketing: consumer behaviors. It seems like a decent enough class. For those introductions, everyone stated who they were and a brand they were loyal too. Me, I'm loyal to Target and Old Dutch Pickle Chips. If you haven't tried them, you must! They are simply delicious. No one makes pickles chips like Old Dutch.
I ended the day with my short stories class. That I think I am going to love. I will post some of my stories here if I deem them worthy. I found some other fellow Jane Austen lovers and I'm thinking about starting a club devoted to her works. NERD ALERT! We will see how it goes.
So far I am really enjoying this years class schedule. I hope drama doesn't interfere. It always seems to rear its ugly head at the most inopportune moments. Anyway, that's my update for now. I'll update again soon.
Pip Pip Cheerio!

Almost Back to School
It's so hard to believe that my summer is almost over and I have successfully accomplished next to nothing this summer. A whole two months of near pure relaxation with some chores thrown in there. But on Friday I will be moving into a new house around campus.
This so called "house" is still under renovation that was supposed to be done on August 1st. We still don't have the furniture that we ordered. It's getting a little ridiculous. The furniture was supposed to arrive on Monday, then that was pushed back, then again on Tuesday, and Wednesday, but today Wednesday has come and gone and still no furniture. This will be an interesting weekend if I have to assemble beds, dressers and wash all new dishes. Yikes!
I've been helping around this new house where I can. Two weeks ago I painted, last week I gardened and today I helped with some closets. So now when I leave, part of me will always be in that house. I have also been busy around my house. Before I leave I have been instructed to basically pack up my whole room. Yesterday, I went through all my clothes and picked out the pieces that I can finally part with and tomorrow's task is to go through all my papers and crap. That will probably be more painful than getting rid of some of my clothes because it involves reading.
It's weird to think that I will be a senior this year. I've already had one future-freak-out session and I'm sure there are more of those to come. School has gone by a lot faster than I thought it would. I was so confident Junior year and now all that confidence seems to fade in and out of uncertainty. I hope that through my last year of classes I can gain back that confidence that I once had. I know I'm smart and talented but I hate it when I forget. Perhaps I should start some daily affirmations to get my mind back on the right track. Or maybe I just need to write some more. Only time will tell.
I think that we can consider this the restart of my blog. I'm rusty, I can tell. It will get better and more interesting as things pick up. I promise :-)
