the real world
i am an official college graduate! woo hoo! and after everyone finally left last week, i went off to mexico with a few of the tope dolphins to just chill and relax to prepare for today. today was my first official day in the real world, and it was kind of cool. i am working for this company called ourvacationstore.com and originally it was the technical side of this place known as ice. basically they trade timeshares for cruises. and what i do is work between the marketing department of ice and the production team of ovs to figure out what kind of emails work - what pictures are getting attention, what text is being read ... it's kind of fun and totally up my alley. i love this kind of research :)
i thought today was doomed from the beginning ... nothing was going right. the woman at kingswood was so rude to me - and first thing in the morning, i mean common! and then the seemingly cute guy at enterprise turned out to be kind of a jackass as he would not let the whole me not wanting additional insurance thing go. but i talked to my mom on my way in this morning and she made me feel totally better. i heart my mom a lot. so i filled out paperwork today and met people and talked a lot about numbers and tried to figure out what was wrong with particular numbers - pinpointing problems and running formulas. it was cool.
plus! i have a roommate for this year! shannon and i are going in together on an apartment in the biltmore area. it's fairly close to where i live without being too far away from tempe and asu and all the wonderful people in opa :) basically i am excited!
it has been so long since i have been able to be excited about anything and i finally am. i have a job related to my major that comes with a badge and a parking pass and i have a potentially awesome apartment and get to live with one of my oldest friends and by august, everyone will be home - just in time to take advantage of working for a vacation company ... i'm gonna stop now and chill for a while :) maybe even take the time to watch a really good movie ... sigh ... i love movies :)
