Hey everyone! I'm writing today from Morristown, NJ at my grandparents house where I'll be staying the rest of my trip. Vicki came in with me for the weekend too and I think she's enjoying the small amount of time away from the city. It can be really overwhelming in NYC so a trip out to Jersey is a great way to relax.
Okay- let's rewind to Thursday night when we attended the PRSA event. Overall, we had a great time and we met some really nice people but it was not easy at first. The venue was at a bar up by Grand Central Station and it was so dark that it was difficult to see! It was a cool vibe for a hip NYC bar but for a networking event it was a little much. After 30 or so minutes we struck up a few good conversations and let's just say it's amazing how small the world of PR is! Remember when I posted and said I was featured on Lauren Novo's blog as the PR Job Seeker of the Week? Well one of the girls I talked to went to school with her and is interviewing at a few of the firms that I interviewed at this summer! So of course we talked the entire time about each company and what we were both looking for in a job. Vicki also hit it off with a girl who also was a DG who worked in magazines and knew the lady that Vicki is interning for! So after a rocky start it ended up being a great night!
Yesterday, the weather was disgusting! We woke up early for breakfast and decided to walk over to Chelsea Market. I thought were going to be blown away on our walk it was so windy! Then we headed down to Little Italy for lunch at my favorite place called La Mela. Then we headed back to the Markel so I could get my things together for my first info meeting. It went really well and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with the company. Then we packed up our bags and we were off to Penn Station for a weekend in NJ!
So that should catch you up on everything so far! We're about to take a walk to Friendly's for lunch and then watch some Auburn Football!!!
I'm really excited about this week and I can't wait to share it all with you! Keep checking back for updates!
