Miss Midterms...

This week is midterms and I have a little humor for you.

You know you spend too much time in the library when...

• You have a designated area and the computer remembers your passwords
• Your tutor says, "I'll see you next week," without even asking if you are signed up
• You spread out your work across 2 work spaces like it's no big deal
• You wash your grapes you packed for lunch in the drinking fountain
• You go to 'your' designated stall in 'your' bathroom
• You know which computers are slower and faster than others
• You know all the shortcuts 

Yes. This would be my experience in the library the last few semesters. However, I feel like studying at the library is best for me. My husband rather study at home but I work better in the library so we usually strike a compromise.

I have 4 midterms and I have taken 2 already. I got a 93% on my law midterm and an 81% on my mass media midterm. I'm feeling lucky...I still have my micro-economics midterm and my finance midterm.

What is the best way to prepare for a midterm? I took some advice from my teacher via The Wall Street Journal.

 

The only thing I would add to this list is take occasional breaks...which is why I am blogging right now. 

Wish me luck!

Mrs...photographer!?

Yes. I haven't blogged in forever. It's bad. I wish I could blog. Daily. I have enough to say, just not enough time. One day. Soon.


FYI, I have a photo blog. I am taking a digital imaging class that has taught me how to take pictures and edit them! We invested in a DSLR Cannon Rebel camera and we really like it! Check out my blog and the work I have done this semester!

Stay tuned. I will be back.

Miss Goal Setter

For the rest of the year, I have set a goal to make at least ONE effort a week towards finding a job after graduation. (Yes, I am graduating in December!)


Week 2/21-2/27: Begin working on revamping my resume and networking in Arizona.

I will be designing my resume in Adobe Illustrator. Check out my current resume.


Miss Blog-Gram

Nephi surprised me at work, with this!! EXACTLY what I wanted. Chocolate & Flowers.

Good boy.

Thank you so much Nephi. Here is my favorite poem (since like 5th grade), dedicated to: Why.OH.You.

TO MY DEAR AND LOVING HUSBAND
by: Anne Bradstreet

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompetence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay.
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persever
That when we live no more, we may live ever.




I love you Nephi Daniel!

Miss Support

Nephi's brother and sister-in-law are so inspiring. Please help support! I added a button on my right side-bar. Check it out.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Miss Signature

Here is my new signature!! It actually was SUPER easy to do. Click HERE to find out how. I did mine in photoshop. I will probably be editing it over the course of the next few days as well.

Miss Reader

Here is my current read! I just started it today, finally. (Nephi gave it to me for Christmas.) I am already inspired! I love John C. Maxwell. I have read a few other books of his and they can truly change your life if you let them.

"You will never change your life until you change something you do daily...success doesn't just suddenly occur one day in someone's life."

Miss Buttons

I made a new button for our wedding website! It is located on the right sidebar above the followers app. Click on it and it will go to the site.

The reason we decided to do our wedding website is because we are being a little innovative with our invitations...

More information to come. It's going to be good.

Miss No-Longer-Miss-For-Long...

Yep, it finally happened. I'm getting married to my best friend, Nephi Daniel Guymon, on April 14th 2011. We started dating in June and got engaged on December 26th, 2010.

I will be blogging our wedding planning process because lets face it, this is going to be the event of the year! Stay tuned and feel free to share any ideas that you have for us!

Our dating time-line from the beginning...

Miss Designer

I designed my new blog title in Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator! (Yes, it is suppose to be THAT big.)

Wish List: The Adobe Suite.

Miss Bob the Builder

My blog is currently UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Yep. Don't judge its current state because I have just been pressing buttons for the past hour.

I want to make it super personalized but very professional and applicable to it's purpose, which is to display the events that I have planned and projects I am currently working on. I need help. Please leave comments with any instructions, ideas, websites, or criticisms (if they are nice).

I am also willing to let someone go in and work on it if they please...

Let me know. I am a desperate woman and I have goals to meet with this thing!

Thanks.

Miss Carpe Diem

Ever since high school I envied college students. I enjoyed schooling and learning and thirsted for not only education but for experience. Television displayed false realities about 'college life' which I understood but still hoped to attend a university where I could succeed. At my current university, Brigham Young University--Idaho I have received arm-fulls of opportunities to gain experience. I have participated in planning 3 major events on campus as well as being employed in event services as a student event coordinator. I also conducted all fan contests for the competitive sports program on campus wide. These opportunities gave me not only experience but a sense of purpose that has changed my vision.

I heard about the opportunity of an Internship Expedition that would take place in June this summer. On these expeditions they visit with several companies where questions, business cards and resumes are exchanged. I searched out the cities they would be visiting and noticed Salt Lake City, Utah and that interested me. I applied the day before and was accepted to attend. During our 3 day and 2 night journey through the concrete jungle of Salt Lake City, I paid close attention to the companies we visited and asked several questions. Not every place interested me and I left my resume with those that appealed to me on different levels. My goal was to find a company where I could intern and gain experience in public relations and especially events marketing.

Now let me flash back...

Memorial Day weekend I came to Utah to visit friends. While staying over at a friends cabin I was able to talk to an inspiring woman about her career in the communications field. She is very well known in the Salt Lake market and she really impressed me. I asked for her contact information and for her to keep me in mind for any opportunities she knew of as far as internships. I emailed her to follow up and sent her a list of the companies that I would be visiting with in Salt Lake this June. She listed names of people she knew at the majority of the companies and gave me permission to use her name. The power of a name is incredible. During our visit with Deseret Book, I asked for a specific person, offered a name, submitted my resume and receive an email one week letter with an invitation to interview for an internship. Now I stand here today, in Salt Lake City, ready and able to embark on what feels like a literal dream.

Principles learned: 1. Dreams CAN come true. 2. Network, network, network. 3. Experience equals evidence. And of course 4. "Seize the day."

Follow me and see...
