My Spring Break '09

I honestly didn't do much. This was the second year in a row, out of my entire life, where my family or I hasn't gone anywhere. This year definately wasn't the ordinary Cruise or Island-based spring break like usual.  At first, I was bummed. I wanted to escape to from the typical Chicago weather and my everyday life. Just for a week. But then I realized how many projects and papers I had to do for the upcoming week. I headed home to Barrington, which is a northwest suburb of Chicago. There I worked for 3 days, hung out with a few friends, relaxed, and completed my homework. It turned out great and I enjoyed every minute of it, especially hanging out with my friends from work and high school who I haven't seen in a while and chilling with my little brother before he took off for Colorado with his friends to go snowboarding for the week. 

My Field of Study

I chose to study Marketing Communications with a concentration in Advertising. I have strong communication skills, computer skills, and of course, creativity. I've always had a huge interest and a passion for Ads. I can honestly say that I enjoy competition as well, which is expected of jobs in this particular field. I also love the concept of developing and creating a persuasive message to potential customers for a particular brand. One day, I hope to work for an Ad Agency on the creative department, as opposed to the copywriting aspect of it. 

Random Thoughts

I can't stand this messy apartment. My roommate and I just had a party this weekend and we just haven't had a chance...or the energy...to get around to clean it. The walls are marked up and the floors are scummed. It really just makes me not want to have people over, if this is what we're constantly going to get in return. Not to mention, our food is gone. Not that there was ever a ton to begin with, I just believe it's rude, in general, for people, especially our friends, to take away. 

Let's talk about the weather. When is it going to finally be warm outside? Here, it's already March, so I'd assume for it to be at least a little warmer than what we've been experiencing lately. And it snowed yesterday. What? I can't wait for these cold temperatures to pass. I'm ready for Spring.
