The art of dating..er..internships

I'm frantic. It's almost like MRM Worldwide is my Joseph Gordon-Levitt and I have but one chance to prove my love. It's been said before, interviews for internships are like dating. You can't be easy, but you can't be hard to please. Appearances and presence are everything...so don't get too comfortable. Be prepared, in the case of any emergency whether it be a question you didn't think you were going to be asked or spill water on your date. Either way, be prepared.

I've been given really great advice on how to tackle my date. But it's still a tad bit intimidating. I'm not quite sure what to expect.

Then there's the question as to what to wear. I've been searching in the deep crevices of my mind..and I've come up with some darn cute business clothes. But i feel like shopping for purpose defeats shopping with me. I don't get to enjoy it quite the same..or with as much luck.

But I digress, my days in the advertising department are growing. In one of my projects, I was able to work with a great non-profit organization called Unity Care Group. My point was to create and implement a tangible communications strategy. Granted it was simple, but then again it wasn't simple enough for them to do. I wanted it to be simple because it was local with a simple cause. I'm not quite sure what my grade is with this class, but I hope I'm satisfied...I'm starting to hone on my skills, it's kind've cool to see my own progress.

But I digress..dating, interviewing with internships just seemed so tiring. I'm literally facebook-stalking and google binging on this agency..I feel like quite the P.I, if I don't say so myself.

Well, fingers crossed it gets me somewhere,

a bit of inspiration

I finally watched Art and Copy. It was just the right amount of inspiration I needed to get through this semester. It just seemed like an advertising-filled day, started with the "new" agency meeting the "old" agency, then studying for consumer advertising, take the final and then ended in home watching Art and Copy. Tomorrow, McCan meets with Spartan Ad club. Excited, yes I am. Alas, let's welcome the brutality that is finals, bubbling and all-nighters!
