last week in review.

Last week was a crazy whirlwind and was entirely too short. It was a great spring break, but I hate to say I am back at school. The days go by so slowly here…

Last Thursday, I arrived in San Francisco to visit my beautiful sister. I had a great time exploring the city-it has such a cool, vintage, indie, diverse vibe. I loved it. We did a lot of shopping-wandering through stores I’ve never even heard of before. It was great! Too bad my carry-on bag didn’t have any more room- I could have bought a lot of cool things for our apartment next year! I could see myself living in San Francisco or on the west coast at some point during my life. Hopefully not yet, as costs of living are through the roof and I am broke as a joke. Everyone just seems so NICE there. Maybe I am just growing tired of the routine I am in.

On Friday, I anxiously awaited news from mark. about the internship. I slept in to make the day go by faster and woke up to an email :

“Dear mark Intern Candidate,

We have been amazed with the outstanding level of professionalism and enthusiasm from all of our candidates.  Thank you again for your dedication and commitment to mark.

Please note that you will hear directly from us no later than Wednesday, March 11 with regards to our 2009 Intern Selection.

Have a wonderful weekend,
The mark Team

WHAT!? I was FREAKING out. So I went on a walk to the dog park at the top of my sister’s street. All of the adorable puppies and a talk with Josh while overlooking the entire San Francisco Bay area made me smile again.

Saturday & Sunday I spent all day with Lindsay and Andrew. We went to a lot of bars and drank a lot of alcohol. I went out for Sushi dinner for the first time ever (I LOVED IT!).

Monday, I went and did all of the touristy things you do when you visit San Fran. I went to Fisherman’s Wharf, took pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, and went to In-N-Out Burger! Then I flew home on the red-eye, got a cab to Mason, drove to Yorktown, and slept for a little bit.

Tuesday, I went to Josh’s baseball game versus Norfolk State. I LOVED seeing him, but 10 minutes is not enough time. It seemed like I just said hello and then Coach Ikenberry was pushing Josh onto the bus. It was really great to see him pitch again.When I got home, I checked my email and received the good news about the internship!

Wednesday, I went to VMI baseball at UVA. Once again, great to see Josh, gone too soon. Mrs. McP took me out for a delicious dinner and martinis, so by the time we were back in the car, I had forgotten all about it.

Thursday-Sunday is a blur of hanging out with my yc girls and my parents, sleeping, & wishing I were with Josh. I need to get busy with schoolwork again, because it seems like when I am not busy, all I think about is him. (eek! I got mushy-this is gross). I also started another blog dealing with my makeup stuff, but it is still in the works, so I am not announcing it on here yet.

I am so excited for the next couple of months.

Today, I got an email that shot my excitement through the roof! I was accepted to be a part of the mark. internship program for the summer of 2009!

So far, I know of a few other girls that got the internships and I literally can not wait to meet them and see what all of us can bring to the table at mark. I have a feeling we’re going to do GREAT things!

New York City, here I come!

Disappearing.

Yeah, I haven’t updated in quite some time. I am very busy with a lot of things! I think I need to start updating this more. There is way too much going on in my head right now..As junior year is running full speed ahead, I’ve been applying for all sorts of internships. I’ve had little to no luck thus far, and I find out about the mark. internship tomorrow or Saturday. I am VERY nervous, since I know a lot of people applied and it is a really great program. New York City for a summer for a company I already love working for? SIGN ME UP!

Hopefully that will work out because my search for internships is starting to become hopeless. I’ve gotten a few rejections (thanks Macy’s, Norfolk Admirals, and IMG World), a few ‘we aren’t opening this position anymore due to rough economic times (BOO!), and a few interviews!! I’m still searching and hoping for GREAT marketing internships-but I really hope that search can end tomorrow!!

Other than internship searching, I am taking 17 credits, working, and giving tours for ambassadors. I’ve also gone to VMI for some baseball games and my spring break FINALLY starts today.

So, I can’t think of anything else to say.
