So my hunting continues as I apply for several internships in NYC. I have applied at David Tutera's wedding business, Kleinfeld Bridal, the Knot, Bridal Reflections and The Bridal Garden. I will continue to apply to other places but I hope that I will hear something from any of these places.
The more I apply to places the more worried I become. I do not know if I will hear from any of them and I really wish that I get hired for the summer. I do not mind working at the Lodge again but I want to get my internship up and running. Especially if I am going to study abroad next fall.
There is so much that I am worrying about that I just shouldn't be. I just need to relax and let things take course.
Well that's all I have for today. Going to be cleaning and working on a project today.
Hugs and kisses

Looking Ahead
So looking forward to the future. It's not something I do a lot but when I start it's hard for me to stop. Yesterday I was walking through the student lounge in Cromer Center (our cafeteria/postoffice/bookstore/anything else) and there were a few booths set up. One that caught my eye was the CIS abroad program. I immediately thought of one of my best friends Gretchen who is currently studying abroad in India.
(Here's her blog! Check it out! http://rockwellwordsmith.blogspot.com)
I pondered to myself thinking would I want to go abroad? I have already gone over eight hours away to go to school, could I go halfway across the world? I have always wanted to travel. See the world and all its wonders. To study abroad for a semester would be a once in a lifetime thing for me. I have already begun to look for internships over the summer in New York City, why not start looking at countries I would be interested in.
I walked to the booth and a very nice man approached me and began to explain the program. He showed me the booklet that had all the information on the program and different options I have as a communications student. I could do a summer abroad, fall semester, J-term and a spring semester. I decided to myself if I did this I would go fall 2014. I got all sorts of information on the program, thanked the man and headed out with this information burning in my brain.
My next class I devoted my time to studying the front and back of the booklet. I highlighted my field of study and circled classes I would take. Highlighted important information like costs, what was offered, housing, meals and much more. I found scholarships that would help me significantly and checked what I would have to pay out of pocket.
Through my research I found that I would want to looks for countries that offered communications, media studies, journalism, public relations and music. I found eight countries that offer one or more of the studies I was looking for.
First is Australia. I have the opportunity to go to Bendigo, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Newcastle or Sydney. Second is Westminster in London. Third is Aix en Provence in France. Fourth is Hawaii. Fifth Limerick, Ireland. Sixth Florence, Italy, seventh Edinburg, Scotland and eighth is Thailand.
This is a big list and most of the locations are in Europe. Then there's Asia, Australia and Hawaii. I am not to sure I would want to go to Hawaii. It is still the U.S. I want to explore foreign countries, see the sights, learn from others and begin my travels. The countries that really spoke out to me were Westminster, Limerick, Florence and Thailand. Australia looks interesting as well but there are some cities and areas that do not offer all studies at one. They are scattered all over.
The places that offer everything I am looking for are Westminster and Florence. Places that offer at least four of what I am looking for are Thailand, Edinburg, Limerick and Hawaii.
There is so much that I would need to get set up as well. I would have to pay for airfare, meals, spending money, visa and passport and also books and supplies. I have begun crunching numbers on flights to the countries I am looking at. My wallet has begun to shrivel just looking at the numbers. Although if this is something I really want to do I will pay the outrageous plane tickets to get there and I am sure I will not regret it.
It's a big step for looking at my future and I am getting really excited! I will try to keep updates coming. I enjoy writing so I am glad I have a place to just write.
Hugs and kisses

Intense update!
Man it's been a while since my last post. Reason being is i've been so busy with CLASSES!! Yup, I'm back in school! I've been missing LR and am happy to be back with all of my friends here. I am living in an on campus apartment with three amazing women. We have the place decorated to perfection with posters, lights, chairs, rugs and a multitude of blankets. I've been living here for a month now and am truly enjoying it. The bedrooms are smaller than where I was last year but the living room, kitchen and our own bathroom make up for it.
We have two guppies that we have named Dimitri and Eugene. They are very amusing fish and like to stick together.
So updates. I have been accepted into the Upsilon Chi Communications Honor Society, I have been invited to take honors courses next semester, I have a work study on campus that's going well, taking voice lessons again, I made it into the College Singers which is a handpicked group of singers from A Cappella choir, I've been pushing to keep up with my homework, and I am saving up money to go to New Orleans with the Communication Club in October! How exciting is that? Very!
One fun update is I have begun to look for internships! I would love to go to NYC for my internship and get into weddings. I actually have begun to email some companies and businesses asking for internship information for next summer. I am going to email David Tutera, Kleinfelds Bridal and am looking for more options. I am really hoping I can get an internship with David Tutera. That would be an incredible experience!
Well that's pretty much all I have for today. I will try to keep this more updated.
Hugs and kisses

Restless and Wild
Morning bloggers!
I hope y'all are doing well. It's now August which means school is starting soon! In less than two weeks I will be moved into my on campus apartment with three of my friends and in class. I can't believe it's so close. Where did summer go??? Oh yeahhh I was working all summer. XD
I only have one more week of working and one more full paycheck. I am getting half a paycheck as well but I'm worried. I don't have a work study set up yet and that makes me nervous. I need some form of income while I am at school. I've been emailing one of the advisors looking into a work study that would really help me with PR preparation. I also have been preparing for buying my books and other accessories for school. I am in a much heated debate with myself about if I want to purchase an iPad or not. I saw a lot of students with them last semester and quite a few of my friends. They would use them to take notes. I would take my laptop with me and along with my books I now have a hole beginning in my bookbag. So I thought having something smaller and lighter would be easier. I would use the iPad in class and send everything to my laptop to use in my room. I think it's a good idea but the cost is making me hesitate. It's $428 for the iPad, a gift card and insurance. The gift card comes with as an education discount and I want insurance on the iPad if I get it. I have enough money and I could easily afford it. My only problem is I don't wanna spend all my money now and have none when I go back to school. I've been sleeping on it but I will decide before school if I want to do this.
So speaking of school I have become restless. I wanna go back! I want to get back into the swing of school and seeing my friends. I love working but i'm getting cabin fever from Hershey! I want to get out of PA and go back to NC. I want to start this semester and get back into late night papa johns, theta xi parties, organ practice, a cappella choir and so much more!
One and a half more weeks!
Hugs and kisses

Dental Care
Gooooooooood afternoon everyone!! I hope your day is going well.
So this past week has been pretty rough. My uncle passed away and I went to his viewing and funeral. It was hard but I got to hold his hand and say goodbye and how much I loved him. I got closure so that's good. I got to meet family I haven't seen in a while which is always a good thing. So much has changed since last I saw them.
So two days ago I was driving to work and had a bit of an accident. I was pulling into a parking space and happened to hit the curb a bit too hard. My airbags went off and I got stuck on the curb. I was able to back my car up but the airbags attacked my arms. The car is a 1997 Saturn Station wagon and so it's kinda old. The airbags were probably just ready to go. So there is no internal damage to the car just the front bumper is lose. I suffered some damage though. My right wrist got sprained, I have burns on my left wrist and right arm, I have bruising on my right arm and a huge gash across my forearm.

This is the result. It looks like I got mauled by a bear!
So I just got back from the dentist. Got a good review and got fluoride on my teeth. My teeth feel so weird now! All gooey and sticky. Blehhh!!
That's all I have for today. Going to have a gym date with one of my best friends. Gotta get into shape!
Thanks for reading and have a fantastic day!

Cars, cars, cars!
Good evening/afternoon/morning whatever it is for you!
So in recent news I have begun to car shop! I've been looking into buying a car but I am actually now being serious and looking at loans and insurance prices on certain makes and models. So far I have been interested in a lime green convertible Beetle, a red Mini Cooper, a green Hyundai Accent GL, a beige Ford Taurus and green Ford Focus. All of them are used and under $10,000 but some are pricier than others.
I am currently looking further into the Taurus and Focus. They are the cheapest and have lower miles on them. Also insurance is cheaper for them. I am going to test drive them hopefully sometime this weekend or next week.
It's been stressful with this big decision purchase. Seeing all the big numbers and walking around in the heat of the day for two days straight wore me out.
I gotta work tomorrow morning at 11 so I am heading to bed. Good night bloggers!

Strawberries and coffee
Yes! That is what I had for breakfast this morning and it was delicious!
Good morning bloggers! So I've been super busy with work but I have been loving every second of it! There's always something new that happens when you work concierge desk. I've had sheets thrown onto the desk in front of me, I've been told I am a terrible human being, I've been asked out for cocktails after work by a really creepy old guest and I've had Canadian candy thrown at me. Such an interesting job!

So the last three days I had off and I took that time to start preparing for getting my passport, cleaning my room and (my most recent excitement). I GOT A HANDGUN!!!! I am now the proud owner of a 9mm Ruger handgun!
I'm gonna start practicing with it soon. I'm so excited!!!
Well in other news I am working tonight. Starting at 5 but that's not too bad. June is usually a slow month. July and August are the crazy ones. Well it doesn't matter cause this Friday is PAYDAY!! Gonna be getting moolah!
Well that's all I have for today. I'm gonna go make me a turkey and avocado sandwich now. Yummmmmmms!
Have a great day bloggers!
