Back to Business

Good Morning World!

So, it has been almost a month since my last post, and I am devistated that I haven't been able to record all the crazy on-goings of my life.

Since my last post, I have been presented to society as a Lady of the Mythical Rhelm of the Rhodedenron, gone to 2 Nascar Races, and have expanded my knowledge of the marketing world to an amazing extent.  Along with that, I have finally gotten internet in my apartment! I guess my neighbor got it, and now I can get on an steal his WiFi! Woo Hoo!  I did go to Starbucks yesterday, and the barista was like "Long time no see!", and clearly he missed me sitting in the corner on my laptop, so I can't completely ditch out on him now.  So, I'll still have to contiue dropping by just so I don't hurt his feelings too bad.

As far as my internship goes, things have been going really well. I have gotten a lot more responsibility, and the people here have actually taken a liking to me.  On the weekdays I am still doing the regular trivial tasks such as, shipping, grabbing lunch, and running errands around the shop.  But I have also been helping with Press Releases, Quarterly Reports, and I am currently running point on the Sponsor Summit in Chicago in September.  Since it is in September, I'm still not sure if I'll get to go, but it has been really fun planning it all out and working on the details!  My next big thing I am doing is going to the Nationwide Race in Indianapolis on July 28th to help out Jason (one of our marketing/account manager guys).  I can't believe that it is almost over, and I really only have 3 weeks left until I go back to the life of a college student!
This is my lovely shirt I get to wear to the races...
When I first got to the Nationwide Race in Kentucy on June 29th we went straight to the Team Coach, and this was where I met Jeff!
This guy and his outfit craked me up.

Jonathan, my boss, loves me so much he gave me an icecream sandwich.

Nascar fans really impress me with their resourcefulness.
Awesome Hats!!
Jennifer came to visit me this weekend!! We are too cute.
In other news, life at home is still pretty excitng, Callen is about to head off to Oregon tomorrow, and then she is going to be gone until sometime in the first week of August! It's kind of sad how we are both going to be gone this year, but exciting at the same time because she is going to be with all my buds up at NC State!

It seems like life is just flying by, and I don't want to miss out on anything. There is so much that I want to do, and I just need to realize that I need to take it one step at a time, and sometimes I just need to stop and smell the roses. This summer has been so eye-opening to life because I have been exposed to the real world, and now I am just ready to go after it! I have ambition to conquer my dreams, and I just have to figure out my path to do it.
