Big things are happening...

I had a huge week... Graduation on Saturday. My 22nd birthday on Monday. A job offer on Thursday. And accepting the job on Friday.

Now it's Tuesday, and not only am I starting my job, but I'm preparing to leave for a month in the Netherlands in a week!!

It is safe to say that big things are happening for me right now...







My new job is with Iowa Resource for International Service, a small nonprofit in Ames, Iowa. IRIS has a great cause, and does some wonderful things for Iowa's communities. However, it is not very well known -- that will be my job as their PR specialist!

I know the organization very well, because they were the client for my capstone class at Drake. We researched the organization and did some preliminary research in the fall and in the spring, prepared full PR campaigns in groups of six. My job will be to implement the campaigns as prepared by my peers...

Today is my first day! (I'm blogging over my lunch break...)

I'm feeling like an adult... Nevermind the fact that I'm working 2-3 days this week and then leaving for a month in Europe!
