So I realized I haven’t had a decent update in a while. Two weeks ago my American Advertising Federation National Student Competition (whew that’s long) went to ORLANDO(!!!) to compete in the nationals. WE GOT SECOND PLACE. One of the judges came up to our team after the announcements and shook our hands and told us if it were up to him, we would have won. We literally got second by .7 of a point. Its so close it kills me! Whatever though, the team that did win was from Chapman University and they had a great idea and I feel they deserved to win just as much as we did.
So the whole team got to stay a few extra days in Orlando to check out Disney World, which was really cool. It was a long day for sure though, we spent 12 hours there riding everything we possibly could. Some drama with the team went down that last night that I tried my best to avoid, I was just too exhausted to care about anything. We left on a Sunday (arriving in Orlando on Wednesday) and the three girls I was with and I got laid over for several hours in the airport, which was pretty miserable when all you want to do is go lay in your own bed.
The weekend after the Orlando trip my friends Melissa and Brianne insisted I come back to Houston for the weekend to party. I resisted the idea at first since I was (and am still) completely broke but they said they wanted me down there so much they’d pay for it all. The idea of living off their dime wasn’t ideal, but what can you do? It was fun though, we stayed by the Galleria downtown in very nice hotel and went clubbing.
Now I’m home just taking three hours of summer courses (in Art direction) and some how, keeping busy. Other than that, my roommate got a cat a while back so now mine and her’s are a little rag-tag team that’s main goals are world domination and the destruction of our apartment. Its pretty funny to watch though.
