That is how long it takes to get reacquainted with this life. Cool.

Here. Unpacked. Using USC wireless.  Back on AIM.  Charging iPod.  Home. So awesome to come back to a family.  A family of 130 girls.  My family of 130 girls.  Cannot believe how prepared for rush they are.  Cannot believe how completely excited I am to lose my voice and dance around and shout.  All in…

"Well done.  Thanks" The internship is officially over.  And it feels like a success.  I was sitting at the district office this morning waiting to present my project and it hit me: I learned some stuff.  Some real & intense & applicable stuff about leadership.  About management.  I knew that this internship would "look good…

No, actually I know I cannot. But I can still enjoy Step Up.  And I didn’t even have to drink a little to "feel it." Disclaimer: The link takes you to the Step Up profile on myspace.com.  myspace and I are not friends.  Well…technically we are but that is only because they will not let…

The interns: My favorite people to ever wear red and khaki. Every week for the past nine weeks, I filled out a form about how my internship was going.  The first question was "Has the internship program met your expectations?"  And every week I wondered if I should check "Yes" or "No."  And it was…

Made these cupcakes last night because it was easier than packing.  But now Target employees are…

One of the most important concepts I have learned during my internship is the importance of obtaining commitment instead of compliance.  While both produce results, only the former will make a lasting difference and positively define company. commitment: noun 1. the trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose 2. the act of binding yourself…

Tired. Dead tired.  Interviewed people for 8 hours today.  Target is opening up a new store in Lincoln, California.  And they have to staff it.  Which is where I come in. I like interviewing.  Find it very interesting.  Find that I am developing my own interview skills just by listening.  Which is important.  Obvi.  But…

Time heals.  This I know. Scrapes, bruises, broken bones and broken hearts all heal with time.  You can use band-aids, ice packs, casts and therapy, but ultimately it comes down to time.  You have to wait.  And believe that eventually your body, your mind, your heart will recover.  Because they will.
