Mid-Semester Crisis

Wow... I've never had this intense of a week for midterms, ever I don't think. I have a HUGE midterm for my Western Civilization class that is just utterly unbearable. I am studing now. I cannot wait until 11 AM tomorrow. I'll be allll done with it :)

On a lighter note, I'm staying at home this week to babysit Aubby because my parents are in PUERTO RICO. Bomb, I know! Katie is with her boyfriend, Jimmy, in uhh, well Mexico. I'm not entirely sure which town. What I am sure about is that her pictures that she's sent are beautiful, and I was once again reminded of how small the world truly is. Katie shows up to her resort in MX and when they sit down at the bar for a drink, she literally recognizes the bartender. Yes, it is the same bartender that served us at our resort in Cancun over NYE '08 (which will go down in history as the best new years of my life, thumbs up senor frogs).

Well, this has been a nice study break. Thanks for tuning in. I'll be back next time with more interesting stuff.

Oh yeah, I am now the resident expert on CSU for Campaigns. That means that I will get to travel to CSU to observe its implementation of a plan to curb toxic drinking. Also, we got scooped. LJ World did a piece on UNL's drinking campaign which we were using. Low blow, right? Oh well, we will rise above (and go beyond) that :)

Happy new jobs and vacations to all my followers :)

Doin' Big Things

If there is anyone that makes me more excited about who I am, it's Diane O'Byrne. She is my professional presentation skills professor, and every time I talk to her, she makes me feel so much better about my job search. She reminds me that I do have real-world experience, which can be far more relevant than internships, and that I am basically a highly-desirable employee for any company. WOO HOO! Someone else thinks I am as awesome as I do. Just kidding, sort of. Such s relief.

I just gave a 10 minute presentation about... ME! It was basically a brief history of Val Gunn. I used Keynote (basically PPT for Macs) for the first time, and I liked it a lot! Diane mentioned to me a few opportunities she thinks I would be good for, and I am going to get more info from her. She also asked me to introduce our guest speaker for next week's class because she will not be there. She said she really wants me to meet him because he is a great contact. She warned me that he will probably try to hire me. HELLO?! Please do! I'll keep you posted.

Let me tell you about Campaigns. PINK TEAM FO' LIFE, BABY! I really like my team. We work so well together, and I am soooooo grateful for that. We have just been generating more and more ideas and building off of each others' ideas. I am so excited. Like you said Drea, it really is kind of an internship in and of itself. I feel like I am really getting prepared for real work, which I love. Today we are meeting with Kerry Benson! And for those of you that know her, exciting, right?! BTW, she follows me on Twitter. How bomb is that? BOMB!

Okay, I have to do some message delivery research. Adios Amigos.
