There's Not Enough Coffee in the Coffee Pot for Me

I'm in that transition phase of Post-Graduation-Pre-Career and let me tell you, it has its ups and downs.

One big down is that I'm not getting hours at work and that has a lot to do with corporate cutting hours for the summer. My paychecks are pretty much non-existent at this point and that makes it really difficult to save up for big girl things like a car, moving, and paying off student loans. Looking at the positive to this negative though, it was a huge motivator for me to spend some major time on my portfolio/website and research big girl jobs. However there are only so many hours in the past two days that I can do this. As I am starring at my computer screen for the second shift of 8 hours at Starbucks, I realize that my brain is on overload and I am melting into my seat, morphing into a coffee zombie. I decided that I need a break, hence this post. You may not think so but it is hard to lay out everything that is impressive about myself and think only about me for millions of hours. I can only hope that the end product will be a success.

(Keep your fingers crossed!)

Back to positives though...that is one thing I am grateful for on this Thankful Thursday...motivation and time!

My list of companies that I want to apply to is growing! It is so overwhelming. I'm spending so much time researching companies and finding campaigns that I love and what I can highlight from my experiences that could get me hired.

Another thing that keeps motivating me is my friend, Meg Craig. She also nerds out and appreciates great marketing like I do. So when my career search has been enough for my brain to explode, she reminds me how much I love the field and why I will be great doing it. After talking with her I get excited all over again and then I dive back into the process. With that, here is a shout-out to you, Megan!

I also love to have a million things on my plate. For instance, I want to draw sketches for my printmaking class, work on photography, and start my career. I don't want to sacrifice anything right now and with that I have Jesse serving me endless amounts of coffee. Back to me morphing into a coffee zombie... ;)

On a photography note, I am entering several photographs from London into the Study Abroad Photo Contest. There are four categories: Places, People, Food, and Students Abroad. I think I have decided on the photos for Places and People, but I have two for food and I can't decide. One is of an English Breakfast and the other is of a curry dish (curry is their national dish). It's a toss up! Take a look and let me know if you have any opinions...
