It has been about eight days since my last entry. My bad. However, I see this as a good thing. I have been somewhat busier. The war room lost a soldier last week. His ten week stint had commenced. I picked up his accounts and it has been keeping me busy(er).

I was given the responsibility to secure calendar listings for our drag racing client. Nobody reads calendar items so I went for the big kill. I set my sights on features, articles and columns. I attached four photos to the media alert and contacted the sports and lifestyle writers or whoever sounded interested.

The first race, which is this weekend, will have two writers and a photographer present from local dailies. Overall there will be five solid write-ups in the form of a column or article in five different papers.

For next weeks race, which takes place in close proximity to my hometown, I pitched a solid angle to the features writer. She loved it. If I'm lucky she will act on it. Then again, "Ya gotta be good to be lucky and lucky to be good".

I had my resume revised by one of the top dogs here. He re-worded it nicely. Sounds much better than my retarded writing. He also introduced me to the HR guy. I set up an appointment with him and we are going to put the finishing touches on it.


Lately alot of people have been asking me if working in PR is what I want to do. If this company asked me to work for them, would I? I honestly like the work. What I am uncertain about is if I am ready to jump into all of this yet. The track I am on right now will lead me to a nine to five before I am twenty three years old. Am I ready for that? I'm not sure.

I started thinking about other options. Before this summer grad school was never one of those options. Going deeper in the hole with student loans is a scary thought, but with the amount that I will owe after my undergrad a couple more thousand can't be that bad.

Then there is the fact that I will actually have my masters. That's two years well spent. I will be able to be a kid for a few more years, have a little more fun and start my life two years later.

So I made the decision to at least weigh my options. I plan on applying to several different grad schools around the country and at the same time see what job offers come back to me. The goal is to be at a fork in the road instead of a one way street.
