Thoughts from the Ad Lab...

Today I went to brew bean and met up with Joe. He was in Tampa all weekend and I was so happy to have him back. He's one of the few people that can me me laugh and who totally understands me. He's literally my best friend. I didn't think I would walk away from college with a new one of those - but I will. Love that kid to death.

We sat a drank Americanos and planned out our days in LA. Man. It's sounds amazing just thinking about it. I sent out some agency emails, but I still have quite a few to go. If all went to plan I would be visiting 4 agencies per day - but I have a feeling that is out of the question - for two reasons.

1. LA traffic. done.
2. Not every one is going to be able to work me in.
3. Joe and I will be sharing a rental car.

That was 3 reasons... wasn't it? :)

I've been planning things out and this is what I am aiming for:

We shall see.

So, I am currently in ad lab. I'm just not tired. You would think at 3a I would be, but not quite yet. I should leave soon, but I have some things to update on our campaign strategy write up and could write an email or two. I have so many drafts in my inbox. I just need to take that next step and write them all.

I actually can't forget about my other classes either. I have a HUGE paper due in my Career Development class. I've chosen 3 careers that I would consider and now have to go into extreme detail about every aspect you can think of regarding each. I have chosen Human Resources Manager (because after meeting Jessica at DraftFCB I fell in love with her - and her job), a Paramedic (it's been something I've been intrigued by since I was little), and of course what else but an Account Manager. Account Planner wasn't an option. Probably because it's so new. But yes, so I have that ahead of me. It's going to end up being about 20 pages. Give or take. I'd rather take. It's really just getting to that point to where I just want to get out there in the real world and contribute to something.

You feel me?
