Trendy coats are being shoved to the back of miniature dorm room closets to make room for flowing sun dresses. Students on the University of Florida campus are starting to remember where they stashed their tanning oils last August. And soon we will all be getting mass Facebook invites to the "biggest pool party of the season" events in which everyone and their mom will pack into every inch of space in and surrounding the designated pool of the day. Yep, it's that time of year again -- Spring Break Prep Week.
But wait just a minute, now. Let's not forget the excitement of the past few weeks. Since my last blog post, I have:
1) celebrated my 22nd birthday. My roommate bought me a "Got Prune Juice?" shot glass and "Over The Hill" tiara to wear. General consensus: I'M OLD. (Thanks, Michelle!)
(So thrilled about being old... can't you tell?!)
2) enjoyed a much needed vacation to Disney World to celebrate my birthday & Valentine's Day with my amazing boyfriend :)
(The picture we made at Kodak's Incredible Picture Lab at the Imagination Institute in Epcot)
3) jumped out of a perfectly good plane (as my Mom would say) at 15,000 feet. With 18 other Gators!
(Flying over the Space Coast with my Jumpmaster, Jimmy!)
And those were just some of the best of times...
This past week, and especially Friday, was also pretty good in my books. I received an invite to attend "Super Saturday," Ogilvy's intense day of second-round interviews for their Associates Program. Approximately 50 applicants (from a pool of nearly 1,000) have been selected to attend the interviews on March 21st. From there, they will invite the top 25-30 to join the program. Keeping my fingers crossed that the interviews go well :)
I also had the great fortune to chat with Will Gay, Creative Director at Disney's in-house agency Yellow Shoes and was privileged to a behind-the-scenes look at some of their work at our Ad Society meeting last Wednesday. After corresponding with him via email, I've learned I may have "skillz" as a copywriter and should perhaps pursue this avenue further.
Interesting... I think for now I'll hone my writing skills by working on updating my blog on a regular basis :) If only school didn't get in the way... humph!
