hit the ground running

I've always hated that term of expression, it might as well be phrased as, "Well, you better start working or you're going to get shitted on." More or less in those terms but it's real. It's the relative toll of advertising classes that are taking effect. Inch by inch, the responsibilities are starting to pile up, but that of course is expected. I guess what isn't expected is the fact that I haven't had a nervous breakdown yet. Who am I kidding? Give me 3 months...

We entered our first day, already setting up accounts. I got my pick, and I'm leading. It's enthralling to be leading, not in that Mussolini leading but rather taking charge and being proactive. Being proactive is essential to all of those. Luckily, I hate lagging so much that I tend to get my feet dirtied up a bit. That and with club, it's going to be advertising mayham, to say that very least. But I'm excited for it, as I said before, it's this advertising high that I'm on.

the early bird gets the worm

The school year is about to begin in t minus 3 weeks. As much as I play cool, I'm a nerd at heart. I yearn for the trips to the store to buy school supplies - and yes, I'm picky about my supplies - as well as the first day of school. I have my first day outfit picked, I don't care, it's important to make a great impression. More importantly, I'm excited about the Agency. I'm looking forward to finally advancing myself, learning the little in's and out's about advertising.

This summer seemed to be filled with misses. I didn't get the internship, which is understandable. But as all situations have a silver lining, mine was this: I was a sophomore in college that actually had an interview with a "big name" agency. That has to earn me some points right? Well, hopefully, this year will gain some driving force from this summer to get me somewhere next summer.

But let me digress from my own life to talk about the new season of Mad Men. I feel like I completely forgot about season 3, feeling a little lost in the beginning. But of course it still didn't steered me from getting completely involved. I like Peggy, she's a lot more confident, more demanding and has a better hairstyle. Good personality, good hair - can't go wrong there. Also, does anyone else notice Peggy's new assistant, uhh McCopywriterHottie! Hello Joey Baird - You can Baird at my cubicle anytime ;)
