Let The Blogging Begin

It has come to my attention that as a student of the Public Relations and Music Business that it is time for me to keep a blog. And no, not just a baby blog like those I seemed to let fizzle away into the blog oblivion of pointless rantings of a young adult. I'm talking a real person blog. Up to date with current events, the effects of social media marketing, the sorrows of retail life, and my thoughts and hopes for my professional life. (and most likely some pointless drivel along the way)

Here's the brief intro:

Today, I am 86 days from graduating with a Bachelors of Science in the Recording Industry. As I get closer and closer the realization that I'm getting a BS degree becomes more evident, as does the grim prospects for obtaining a career in a field that I actually enjoy. I am currently an intern at a publicity firm on Music Row. Although I am learning things, I'm learning more at how behind the majority of the world is. The tools available today in terms of social media networks, bookmarks, and what-have-you tend to give you a severe impact. So why is it that a publicity firm for Nashville's elite can't utilize something as easy as Twitter? I hope to find out. 

In addition to a student of communications, I've spent the last four and a half years working for a retail giant selling electronics and home appliances. Soon... I can barely count the days until I no longer have to put up with the day to day of retail bliss. The more than lacking in intelligence management, the ignorant consumers, and the bitchy co-workers that try and eat away at the very fibers of you soul. (you see how much I love it)

In terms of a personal life, I am practically complete. A beautiful girlfriend (yes, I am a lesbian... and no, not just because it's cool). She's become the best part of my day. I am a part of a sisterhood, a music fraternity for women, that I am the President of. I have a puppy that is one part Shih-zu, one part poodle, and one part crazy. Other than that, I'm a typical techy college student and soon-to-be human in the real world.

Cheers, to what may be a beginning of a beautiful relationship.
