Professionally speaking..

For someone who wants to blog, I never really know what I want to talk about. I sit down, log in and get ready to start typing, but I never know what I want to say. All I know is that I just want to say something. Anything. Which is why I think my posts really aren't that all exciting. I'll work on it.

I realized today that I am a young professional. A young professional. That actually sounds a little intimidating. I'm not entirely sure that it's what I even want to be. I would like to think that I'm more free-spirited than to be sitting behind a computer in an office all day. Like today, for example, I went to work, came home from work, and then I worked. There's a lot of things I have to do before 5 p.m. tomorrow, so I came home to work on them since the office gets pretty crazy and its hard to concentrate.

I was a couple hours late for work. I don't even know why. I thought I was going to fix my car, but I didn't. I was on my way to work when I realized I didn't bring "office" shoes with me, which I usually keep in my car, and I wear other shoes when I drive (I don't like wearing heels when I drive). I made a quick stop to pick up a pair of (what else?) heels with a satin black and white pattern. Pretty.

I got to work thinking I missed the usual Tuesday two-hour meeting, but I was told there was no meeting. If I would've came to work in time for the meeting, I would've been mad for getting there so early (10 a.m.) without there being a meeting. No one contacted me. I'm glad I slept in.

So anyway, I drove the 1.5 hour drive home from work (at least I can drive 90 mph when traffic isn't backed up) and worked when I got home. I made some materials for the media kit. The media kit is kind of turning into my baby. I really want to out the whole thing together myself because I...pretty much only trust me to do things right. That's terrible, I know. But it's true. I just like the way I do things.

So I've also started training for a 5k. Which is crazy. Because I don't run. Ever. Don't get me wrong, I love running. But I don't run. I went outside today to run for a little while, and did quite well. I've been pretty impressed with myself actually. I just need to push myself a little harder everyday for a race that's in 3 weeks. I hope it's enough time. But I it's something I need to do for myself. I plan on partying hard later that night. CMU WELCOME WEEKEND! No, I don't have classes, but technically I'm still a student, so yes, I will party at college as I see fit.

Things I Hate at the Moment: traffic, central air conditioning, bitches and hos, 100 degree days with HIGH humidity, car problems (no A/C, rearview mirrow melted off), slow drivers, poor communication, not finding time to play xbox, moving, babies

Things I Love at the Moment: LG Dare, having flexibility at work, days off, RSV2, water, ok there's definitely more things that I hate...that can't be a good sign

XD.

Welcome!

This is my little blog. I must say, I have a feeling that I am going to be spending a lot of time behind the screen of a computer. I can tell that typing mucho is in my future.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm the typical trainwreck of a girl, trying to balance all aspects of my life. Sometimes I let these things clash, which I must learn not to do, because the results are usually overwhelming. I am a media relations/public relations/corporate communications coordinator at a major radio station, working to promote the new format and the new talk show. I'm only an intern, but since this is a new show, its success relies heavily on the interns. I don't think the show has the kind of budget right now to hire full-time employees. It's really great and I'm definitely enjoying it right now. I'm so far four weeks into it. It's only supposed to be part-time, but by the time you work and attend all the events, its very time consuming.

In my personal life, I just moved back to my home town. I'm still in the process of unpacking. Scratch that, I guess I would actually have to start unpacking to begin the process, right? Things are starting to look better for me now than they have been. I've been going through a little rough patch but I'm starting to get my life back in order. It's all just a game of balancing.

Well, that's just a little bit about myself. I hope you enjoy reading this blog because I will probably update it reguarly if I know people read it. Let me know if you do by commenting or something. It will get more interesting, I promise! I plan on venting and raving on here.
