New Job!

Hi Everyone! Hope all is well with you! This week has been one for the record books. I had my hardest nursing test thus far as well as the hardest test I've taken in my academic career in Chemistry for Nursing. Among the scholastic whirlwind, I actually have a new job that I think you all will enjoy! About 2 hours ago, I just got off the phone with Lifeguard Press. They are the stationary/fine gifts company involved with all matters of the Lilly stationary line as well as the Vera Bradley line! You happen to be reading the blog of their newest COLLEGE REPRESENTATIVE!

I'm representing USC in their newest addition! There are 30 current college reps, but that number is rising quickly as is the rate of colleges participating! We're working with our respective colleges and really hitting the collegiate scene! I cannot wait to host my first party and show the girls all the fabulous stuff that LP&LP have to offer! Here's a preview of what they've got:

Those are the circle notes, as I'm sure all of you know about! I'll be selling cups, pens, agendas, all kinds of wonderful Lilly stationary products!! I'll be getting all my advertising stuff this week, and I'll be sure to show you all! I'd love any ideas from my college bloggers about any input! Be looking for the rep on your campus soon, we're all showing up quickly!

"Goin' to the Chapel of Love...Because We're Goin' to the Chapel and We're Gonna Get MA-AH-AH-RRIED"

Big news! So my mother got a fabulous new (potential, but its basically in the bag unofficially) job working for a wedding planner who works downtown! SO excited!!!! She and this wedding planner hit it off when my mom went to her "interview" after seeing an ad on Craig's List (I think, sorry mom if this is untrue...). After talking to the WP herself, she offered my sister and I jobs as grunt workers at weddings!!!!!!!!!!!! Our duties may be, but are not limited to, being greeters, hanging out programs, lugging boxes, moving stuff, helping the bride, being the designated "bridal first aid kit" girl, waiting on the bride, waiting on the wedding party, holding the bride's dress for miscellaneous reasons, organizing things, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 

I AM SO EXCITED! What a perfect opportunity to wear my less formal Lilly's in a fabulous environment that are always (hopefully) full of happiness on wedding days! My sister and I could NOT stop talking about it last night at dinner and my mom seemed super excited. I've been thinking about it all day long, and blogging from school, which is a rare opportunity. I'm in my independent study journalism class, so I'm taking the time to do some (as its technically called) web journalism. After all, I am blogging from that class last year!

I cannot wait to give you all some more details about all this wedding stuff. It is going to be so much fun, and what girl hasn't started planning her wedding? Here's my chance to go through it weekend after weekend after weekend!
