On account of I always get really excited...

So, I was doing some research today and I found a company I'd really like to work for. It's called Edelman, it's an public relations firms with offices located all over the world. It's the largest independent global PR firm and it employs over 3,000 people. Anyways, they handle so many different clients who represent so many diverse areas (entertainment, government, travel, public affairs, etc) and created "Environmental PR".

Anyways, so in a perfect situation, my dream situation (if you will): I'd graduate next May, right? I would have already secured an internship at the Los Angeles branch of Edelman and I'd either a.) rent Amy & Henry's guest house or b.) stay with Emily in her house (*both of which are located in Canyon Country, CA, about 40 minutes from Los Angeles*). Either one of them would probably give me a great deal... Kessler lived there for 6 months rent-free (now I'm getting overzealous). But I'd learn a whole lot at Edelman, it would be a 6 month internship. I'm not sure if they pay their interns, so I might have to get a job somewhere more local to Canyon Country to pay for gas and such. I would kick bottom and take names, then at the end of the 6 months, I'd either a.) Stay on at the Los Angeles branch or b.) Transfer to the Austin or Dallas branch. And hopefully I'd get to specialize in Environmental PR! That's so up my alley.

Anyways, I know you're the only one who reads this, so check out their website:

You might not be able to click that link, you might need to copy and paste it into your www bar thing.

Also look at this, it outlines their intern program:

Cause my mom tagged me...

I want you to know, I nevvvver do these things on myspace when people "tag" me. BUT, I love my mom & it looked like a fun little questionnaire... so I'm on board.

What Was I Doing Ten Years Ago: May, 1998 - I was 12. What grade are you in when you're 12? Well, I can pretty much guarantee I was bffs with my multi-cultural friends from Hedrick Elementary. We might have just been getting ready to move to Flower Mound before the start of my 5th grade year. At that point, I had a new bff - Danielle Williams! I was probably also antagonizing my brother on a semi-constant basis... and letting him play video games "with" me while his cord was unplugged.

Things On My To-Do List Today: Finish Well, I was in class from 8-12. This just in: I heart Marketing. It already feels really natural to me, and I'm excited about the class content. Really excited. Other things, I went and bought the USED text book at Voertman's and it was $112!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found the same book for 17 on half.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I've gotta copy the first few chapters someplace so I can return it before the 14th (while I'm waiting for my $17 copy to come in the mail)! What a rip. Pretty much for the rest of the day, I'll be reading and perhaps watching my first Blockbuster movies (that should be in the mail when I get home - fingers crossed!

5 Places I Have Traveled: California (a few times), New Mexico, Florida, Puerta Vallarta, ...

5 Snacks Or Treats I Enjoy: Mmm, it changes on a daily basis. But my staples are Oh's cereal, strawberries, some sort of tasty granola bar; Kashi Chocolate Cherry as of late! I also drink lots of Vitamin Water. Texas Roast Coffee has a delicious blueberry muffin, that sounds good right about now!

What Would I Do If I Were A Billionaire: Pay off my college loans, so my parents and I (post graduation) wouldn't have to worry about it. I'd probably buy everyone in my family a car or house, or both. I'd take gooooood care of my immediate family and bestest friends. I'd buy an old classic muscle car, a house in California and one in Wyoming (I hear it's BEAUTIFUL), and maybe one somewhere else. I'd go to FRANCE for a few months, and New York and ANYWHERE else I got a whim about visiting. I'd put a lot of it away so that I could take care of my future family.

Places I've Lived: Winnsboro, Lewisville, Flower Mound and Justin

Jobs I've Had: Mr. Jim's Pizza, Sonny Bryan's BBQ, Alliance Airport (gag me), Tia's Tex-Mex, Hastings, Davanti Aveda Salon & Spa, Tangerine Salon & Spa


Love you!

Published Works!

Not going to lie about it, I just gave my blog a little makeover... I'm lovin' it. :) 

I figured I'd post links to some of the articles I've gotten published this semester. Some are definitely better than others, but I'm proud of them all. Enjoy! And let me know what you think; good, bad or ugly (I'm learning that you've gotta have tough skin to be a writer, it's a good lesson)!
