It has been nearly 8 months since I graduated. Suffice it to say, much has happened. I moved home for a little bit, did some freelance design, drove 10,000 miles around the country with Lily (and Jacob!), designed my portfolio, bought a one-way ticket, flew to Chicago, moved in with Douglas, interviewed, got an internship at an amazing advertising agency (paid!), flew home for a wedding, back to Chicago, flew to Vegas to have a fabulous week with my momma, back to Chicago, visit from Kellie, started working, work, work, work, see plays, work, there was some drinking interspersed as well, work, work, movies with Douglas, work, work, work, visit from Adam Box, work, work, work, looking for an apartment, work, work, got a new apartment!, work, work, HARRY POTTER, visit from Nathan, Jacob, and James, work, some more plays, some more working.
Then in the middle of working, BAM! I got a job offer. A real one, they pushed the contract across the table kind of real. And, of course, I accepted. Starting August 20th, I am a full time salaried employee of Euro RSCG Chicago, a junior art director on the Sprint account specifically. Only 8 months after graduating, I am in in advertising. This Friday though, is the last day of my internship, so in between now and the 20th, I am coming back to Arkansas! I need to pack all my stuff and actually move to Chicago. Douglas and I just moved into our new apartment yesterday and we need art on the walls.
So, next Wednesday, I believe we'll be doing dollar beer nite at Willy D's. And I will of course visit Fayetteville, and the lakehouse! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. I just can't get rid of this smile.
