Well it is Saturday morning, I successfully survived the "Rapture" ha and I finished my first week at my new job!
I guess I can't really call it new because I've kind of been doing it for the last few weeks... but this was my first official week as a full-time employee and not an intern! So yeah for me! Sunday night I always try and plan ahead and prep myself for the week and I planned on really concentrating on work. Staying late, going early, being stressed out so that I was totally in and really had a grasp on my new responsibilities. And what happened this week... my territory was soooo slooooow! Kristina, who is my Sales Director, had to cancel a trip to Boston because of a family emergency so she was out of the office, but not really working. And then on top of that we moved! Kind of exciting, just up two floors because out team is growing so much so all week everyone was organizing desks and packing up and then Friday we HAD to be out of our desks at noon so we all got a half day! So long story short it was a really slow and short week, and I wasn't even able to bring work home over the weekend because we had to leave our lap tops there so they could be set up correctly! Hello full-time salary employment, may ever week be like my first... HA
And now I am treating myself to a late morning breakfast, coffee and catching up on my blogs and news!
Happy [non] Rapture Saturday!

Say Hello to Walter!
So today was a really big day for me in a few ways...
#1 Today was my LAST day as an Intern, EVER!
Monday is my first day as a full-time employee and I am so excited! My new title... East Coast Relationship Manager for Advertising Sales at Morningstar. We sell the ad space on three US based websites and the US print magazine, and we are an investment research corporation [we do NOT make veggie burgers if that's what you were thinking]. I have been interning there since January and even with one more semester of school in the fall I was offered a full-time position when it opened up a few weeks ago. And it feels great!
#2 I am finally done with school! [for the summer]
My life the last few weeks has been crazy to say the least. I am really looking forward to having time to get started with my new job, do laundry, see my friends, train for the marathon, and relax! My apartment is a disaster and as weird as this sounds [especially coming from me] I can't wait to clean!
#3 Walter
Maybe what I am really the most excited about... as of today I sponsor a child, Walter! A little background info, I am running the Chicago Marathon again this year and I am doing so for Team World Vision. You will be hearing a lot more about World Vision in the near future but a little bit about what they do... They are a faith based child sponsorship organization, but child sponsorship doesn't just help Walter. World Vision goes into a village or community and helps them develop a 15-20 year plan to bring healthcare, education, clean water, farming, and anything necessary to make the village successful and running on their own. So the money I donate every month in Walters name goes to help his whole community, pretty cool right!
Walter is the reason I am running the marathon this year, I care and so I run.
Here is a picture of the picture I have of Walter, and as soon as my paperwork gets sent in I will be able to start writing letters to him and he gets to write back! The World Vision workers that are in his village will read him my letters and help him write back! There will be many many many more updates about Walter and more children in his village coming your way.
Tonight I ask you one question, if you had a chance to change the lives of an entire community, would you take it?
