Recap of the last two weeks

As I mentioned in my last blog I went to see The KOOKS! They were just as great as I expected them to be. Their set included a good mix of new and old. They of course finished with Naive = just perfect.

The past week I've been trying to get all my final assignments done (two more weeks of classes and I am off on internship!) So it has been crazy. I figured out it is best to keep myself at school in the lab until really late to work on stuff, that way I am actually getting stuff done and not just sitting in my comfy bed with a bag of ketchup chips.

This past Saturday I hosted a very small fundraising party to raise funds among my friends and family. We raised $120 dollars, and I am still hoping to get a few more donations from my family. For those of you not familiar with Movemeber , check it out.

And this would sum up the happenings of the past weeks...and now I leave you with a new fave band of mine..Walk the Moon

..Umm this is a tad Awkward..

To state the obvious; my blog has become non-existent..O BOY.

Trying to restart this blog almost feels like running into an old ex after a few years and awkwardly saying hi to them when you find you are standing next to each other in the same line to grab a morning coffee...or maybe not. But the point is it can be awkward and you are unsure of what to say, in my case to write.

So what is happening in the life of a third-year PR student? Well for starters my internship starts in January. So the pressure is on to find a good placement. Through this process I have learned the ups and downs. So for any future internshipees these are some of my tips/advice:

1. Make a list of your dream companies/agencies
2. Don't be afraid to apply to the biggest companies and agencies out there
3. Stay positive
4. Don't give up if the first few places don't reply/set up an interview with you
5. Be patient- the right internship will come up
6. Above all, enjoy it!

What Else is New?

Recently I been fortunate enough to go to a whole bunch of concerts.

The last two were AWOLNATION and Death From Above 1979

Both were exciting and full of energy and a mosh pits. AWOLNATION was a real wild card concert for me. They proved to be a great band with a flawless set. They have an up-coming date in Toronto with the USS at the Sound Academy. Check out Rotate This for ticket info

This week I get to see one of my old time faveourite band; The Kooks

Although I am still in love listening to their previous albums and songs, looking forward to their new album. They still have the same sound, but with one listen you can hear how much the band has matured and entered and new stage in their lives as a band.

Photos from the concert will follow.

Keep tuned in for my next post!
