long story short.
2004 - get a job at a corporation. spend lots of money on cocktail parties and five-star hotels. feel bad about putting own energy to such a pointless endeavour, even though, turns out, am really good at it.
2006 - company starts a "corporate social responsibility committee." get interested.
later in 2006 - realize that company is full of crap, but still like CSR.
2007 - quit job, move to england.
2008-2009 - get master's degree, but realize that it is sort of useless with my current resume.
later in 2009 - remember how much i liked CSR. start researching the most recent developments. realize it is now called SUSTAINABILITY and it is really exciting, innovative, fun, and everyone who is anyone is doing it (even Wal-Mart!).
even later in 2009 - find a consulting firm that looks really fun, small, dynamic, and has internships.
January - enroll in the University of California- Irvine's Sustainability Leadership graduate certificate program. redesign resume.
March - apply for internship.
April - send writing samples. do interview. kick ass. take names (80 names, it turns out).
Today - buy a ticket to D.C. where I'll be working as a marketing intern for said consulting firm from June to August, living with the coolest roomie ever (shout out, Amy T.), using my iPhone, taking the Metro, and making my own way in the school of life. it's my own summer MBA program.
now let's hope that i can pull out some good writing...be worth my weight. holy crap, i haven't legitimately used my brain in weeks. maybe i should start to practice. maybe i should start with using capital letters in my blog. maybe i should just panic.
