OK, so I haven’t been on here much, but that’s because my wacky schedule has left me no time to breathe or relax. Anyway- where should I begin? This semester is by far the semester from hell. My Bio 100 professor is real hardcore, and gives us more work than my writing professors. I have a lab due each week and a bunch of other nonsense I will forget once the course is over. My thesis class- yeah, this one is going to be interesting. All the students in that class are creative writing majors so; of course they all want to compose short stories and books about extra-terrestrial beings and gory crap while me and this other PR girl look completely lost as to what we can do. My professor for this class (real clown completely full of himself- but always has the best stories) advised us to come up with a campaign. A CAMPAIGN FOR WHAT???? I swear this school makes me so mad- I cannot wait to leave. Since I have been here- they have taught me absolutely nothing regarding the field I want so desperately to learn about. I am even considering joining the PRSA NY Chapter just to invest in myself, because so much time has been wasted.
Okay I need to cool down-but as long as I have my Lord Jesus Christ, I will pass and move on to bigger and better things. My class schedule is light-four classes plus my internship (which I am getting credit for), and the commute to and from Connecticut, New York and New Jersey is often annoying, but I'll do what I have to do until May.
I am also on a speedy recovery to healing, but Valentines day is in two days and despite the fact that I've been playing ‘blind’ to the stupid holiday (if it is a holiday), I can’t help but feel a pinch of sadness when I see red and pink hearts. To be quiet honest, it reopens that damn hole that I have been trying to fill up. And although I complain about being extremely busy- it all keeps me from breaking down when I am alone. Whatever-
Onto more important things, today I knocked down one major wall. I finally finished with the four essays I have been working on for weeks for this training program. And though I feel like finally submitting it has taken a load off my shoulders, I am going to be stuck wondering who is reading my work, how are the reading it, did I fail to notice any errors (Lord knows, I hate editing my own work- as you can probably see all my errors in this blog- But I got professional eyes to check out all my writing pieces), and how many people are they planning to select? I am pretty sure a lot of students applied. I mean, with the financial crisis and all, there’s not much career opportunity for many of us to look forward to, so applying to a program like this is something many people will look forward to. All I can do now is beg the good Lord to touch those who pick up my material- I really want this. Not just because I need something after May, but because I feel like this will be a starting point into a career I have basically taught myself about. The owner of the company/firm I work for now inspires me- everything about her, makes me look up to her. She is ambitious and loves the business she has invested everything into, and that’s what I want- I want to love what I do and help organizations improve their markets, and build and maintain relationships (because I can’t seem to maintain my own- side thought). I have only been here for 2 months and I have learned so much about PR than ever. I use to think that being a PR practitioner was cute and (hip-if I may), but now I know so much more- and it’s exactly what I want to do. More on this topic another time.
I know I have been bouncing off at different topics, but I just wanted to type out my frustrations- at least some of it.
My fingers are tired.
