Not gonna lie, there are some days where, mid-stride, I’d pause and look up at my surroundings as if rudely awaken and wonder, “What on Earth am I doing here?”
That’s because I’ve always harboured thoughts of going to an Ivy League school. (Or at least my parents harboured such thoughts, and communicated them to me so well that I began thinking the same too.)
But today is one of those rare days where I celebrate the fact that I’m here, in flat (read: lacking in buildings taller than 7 storeys) little Snow City. Today I thank God profusely for having Corn-Kernel University reject me that fateful evening 1.5 years ago.
Because today I realised that Advertising is where my passions really lie.
Imagine this: If Corn-Kernel University had accepted me, I would’ve majored in hospitality management. Which means that upon graduation, assuming that the tourism industry is still thriving (with Wii and all these ‘virtual travels’ you just never know…), I would be spending a whole lifetime trying to please rich spoilt people. Now we all know that with my patience – or lack thereof – and keen sense of justice, it’ll only be so long before I snap from bending over backwards all the time!
Shudder at the consequences.
So yes, today was one of those days where every plug found its socket in my advertising world, and I found my inner ohm. To begin with, I had an awesome time in my ADV class. Which in itself is no surprise, but this time my team and I also created an ad I’m really proud of! Then I had a great time going over my Capstone project proposal with my advisor. Turns out my graduation gift to Snow City U doesn’t have to be lame-o at all! In fact, with my topic of interest, I get to hang out on Facebook and Twitter all day for research. Um, sweet? If I can pull this off right, my Capstone may just be the resume booster I really need and I might get to work with industry experts! (^___^) Heck yes I am gratefully at peace with every atom in the world.

Right this minute however, I am mildly unsettled by a ripple of disturbance emanating from Tomorrow-land…
Oh yes, it appears that there is an international relations quiz I need to study for.
Aiight, peacing out,
Yohmmmmmm
P.S. I am in the process of reproducing that ad we made in class. Keep checking back for it! Especially if you’re a Dinosaur BBQ fan (^__^)
