i.LA

Last two days I’ve been helping out/interning? (not sure what i can call it) for the raddest boss i’ve ever encountered and have been able to learn and do hands on legit PR kind of things that i could be possibly doing. i dont want to use any real names but we’ll call this company _____

interns get treated like shit. lets face it. they get taken advantage of and have to do the jobs slacks dont want to do themselves.

this is DEFINITELY not the case. i did placement for ______ and last week they contacted me to work a couple of days for them and of course i said yes, no hesitation! I love it there, my boss feeds me knowledge, teaches me hands on pr stuff, trusts me being alone in the office when shes out, gets me to do jobs that give me experience.

i have so much love for ____. i have obese love for them. I want to maintain a relationship with them, there is so much i can gain and learn. i cant pick anything wrong with that place nor the people… the only things i can pick out is myself and how shy or reserved i can get and not to mention slow.. i wish i had things locked in the bag, i hate uncertainty that this may be my last time there ever.. i appreciate everything i have experienced there and its given me such a confidence boost in myself..

from seeing and observing my pr peers and teachers, i know you gotta believe in yourself. confident, outgoing and definitely a hardworker and manage high levels of work schedules and clients.. that’s why i admire the ladies at ____ because at such a young age (i dont know their ages but they look like fresh grads) they have huge clientele base, have networks and just plain rule! ..

at the start of the year i had goals, being at ____ is so above my goals. being there achieved my goals. ive never had the greatest weekends i can brag about but .. this definitely was/is my year (ALL TIME LOW fans know whatsup with that line)

im so grateful the interwebs led me to ____. thank goodness i found them!

Was on Last.fm browsing through Yellowcard because I was madly missing the shit out of them. I came across Amber Pacific. I murdered the crap out of my search engine and found copies of their albums. (couldn’t find a discography)

Hit the links for the album :D

This weekend consisted of a celebrations for a bud’s 21st. Headed up to the mountains where he hired a home (wouldnt call it a beach house, lol)

Had a pretty good time. Hung out with people I hadn’t seen in quite awhile.** Drinks and spliffs.** Drinks + Spliffs are such a good mix. Recreational ONLY. **None of that ever day overusing nonsense. **

One of the birthday boy’s buds got him a stripper. It was a little awkward watching the show for us ladies. It was a first though, saw the dude get slapped around and beat by the stripper. haha. - During the skin show, i was wondering what runs through a strippers mind during her birthday suit show. I also pondered if her driver/security dude had a gun - but he was a chill dude. (I never would have though I could tick off a strip show on my list, don’t even have a list or have that on a list if i did lol)

Pretty much had no sleep. Except until i got home and the drive back. Hardly ate too, place was just smokes and drinking. Hadn’t done something like that since senior year. My last drink was in April, i think? Kept it sober sally status during the year, too much is bad and regular gets boring.

It’s Monday and i unofficially have no more PR classes FOREVER——Until Thursday, where my teachers fail or pass determines whether i get to class myself as part of the graduating PR class for 2010. PRETTY PLEASE LET IT BE A PASS.

ANYONE WHO HAS BUDGET AND FINANCIAL PLANNING PRO KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS, HOLLA AT ME!

Last Thursday was my last day of formal classes for the Class of 2010 Advanced Diploma in PR.

It’s been two years, that seems like a short time but it was definitely a long journey. I’ve met some of the koolest folks, had the raddest experience and embarrassing shameful experience.

Do I have any regrets? Yes. I held back, I pretty much kept to my comfort zone. This year, we merged two PR classes. Some people in the other class didn’t even know my name nor how to pronounce it after an entire year! That’s my fault because I kept to who I knew. I should know that that’s what not to do, especially if you want to make it in PR.

I definitely have memories that rule and always make me laugh/smile. I want to keep in contact with people and try to get to know the people I didn’t (if that’s possible.) With what I have learnt about myself the past two years, I know I can’t be that same person. I need to get out of this shell, its the same damn shell ive been talking about since i joined tumblr.

I havent officially graduated because I have to resubmit my finance test, thank god not another test, but i hope what i hand in gets me my pass and official gradution certificate. i cant bare to not be part of 2010 PR. The people were great, we were all different but definitely good folks in some good way.

Been away for quite awhile. Seems like a regularity. Make an entry every 2 or 3 months. Don’t know how to keep this so consistent!

I’m in my last semester, doing my final term for my PR course. The past few months have been unbelievable. I have met and hung out with amazing people. I also got to see PARAMORE once again. October showed me so much love. My favourite month by far this year.

I did work placement a few weeks ago and I had an amazing time. I might not have looked or acted like it but i was ridiculously happy for my days there. I hated knowing it would end. I was starting to feel comfortable with my surroundings, kind of land on my feet. I did placement for a PR & Marketing company for streetwear and art. I definitely found some insight on what route of PR i want and where i dont want to be, as well as the sort of people i want to be working with. The people at work placement ruled so hard, i dont think words could do them justice at how cool these cats are.

That same week i went to see PARAMORE’S show at Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Man, it was a blast - it made it better than the first (even though my first got me closer to the band) it made it so good because although it was me and just another person, it was all about the music. my bud couldnt belt a note if she had to. the people around also noticed, she knew that they noticed but she was living for the music. we shared such kick ass moments, i cant get over it. I cant get over how happy that entire week brought me. Kick ass placement and live music from my favourite band.

I loved that for that entire time Paramore was on stage that i felt free, honestly. I DID. For that entire set my insecurities were gone, my self confidence was way up for me to reach the damn clouds and i felt like i was on cloud 9. I felt powerful.

I never sing in public unless im hiding behind anothers voice. I’m pretty shy and timid so im not one to bust a move but i was swinging, swaying my head to and fro chuckin my hands in the air. I even did my first headbang in public and i belted tunes like i was Pavarotti! HAHA - So did my friend, she definitely made the folks around her peeved but we were the for the music and appreciate the people who create such head breakingly good tunes.

One moment i can NEVER EVER forget is when Haley said that ‘No-one Could Take This Away From Us’ - and no-one could.

I kept my bus/train card i used that week, i dont ever want to forgot those dates.

Of course my past few months consisted of other things, bad and good. but these two were my silver linings. I was inspired, being so happy got me inspired to do things that brought out that kind of energy inside me. I made a B.O.Y playlist based on Hayley Williams’ Beware Of You. It worked. It ruled. I just need to keep that momentum.
