Famous Last Words for Week 6

I was playing catch up this week after a weekend full of snow, slow WiFi and job interviews. Chicago was amazing and cold and fun. Unfortunately, I got a little behind on my assignments because of some last minute prep work. So, for this week I knew I wanted to get a head of the game and stay on top of the assignments for this week. We have a huge career fair type thing for advertising and public relations majors this week called Top Jobs. It's really exciting, but also a little nerve wrecking because I need a job!

Anyway, I really enjoyed writing my storytelling assignment for this week. I extended one of the stories I had read from the Japanese Mythology unit. I based the story around a strong female character, who was really fun to write and detail her life out a little more than the original story did. It was so much easier to write than other stories and made the time go by really quickly. I had a lot of fun writing it. For the next assignment I want to try writing a story around a song I like. It was something I saw on Pinterest and thought it would be a new creative way to write a story.

My other class are going really well. I am in a student advertising competition called NSAC, and it is keeping me pretty busy. Our client is Pizza Hut and it has been really great, but all I think about is pizza. It's not doing great things for my diet. But, I'm having a lot of fun and learning a bunch along the way. As I was researching some of the Japanese Mythological names, I noticed that a lot of Pokemon character, which was pretty awesome! It's really cool to see old and new cultures merge like that.

Anyway, I'm all caught up for this week and it feels great! Just gotta keep the winning streak going!

  1. Hi Colleen!

    I am commenting because it's the extra blog comments credit this week. I also felt the anticipation of top jobs, but it turned out to be a great event. Pizza Hut really is a pretty cool client and I can see how all you must think about is pizza. I feel like I do that already, so I can't imagine how much you've had to hear about it. I saw that the team won the district NSAC though! Congrats!! Have a great week. Boomer Sooner.

  2. Hey Colleen,

    I hope you got a great job from the career fair! I am going to Chicago this summer for a sorority conference in July. I am really excited. I heard it was really cold and you have confirmed that. Good luck with all that you are doing this semester!
