You Know You’re Old If….(Pt. 2)

Again, I know this isn’t a real update, but I have been swamped lately. Traveling all the time, working two internships, still fitting in time for creative stuff…essentially I sacrifice sleep. Here are my relevant life updates, for those of you who care (and if you do care, you probably know this already…)

1. I’m about 7 weeks into my 10 week internship at Cognito, a financial services PR agency. It is an absolutely fantastic place full of terrific people, and I’ve learned an unbelievable amount about how PR works from the bottom up. A lot of the copy I write gets used by actual clients, which is a thrill, and by week’s end, I’ll be able to link to what I’ve been working on.

2. I’m starting to pull ideas together and get some writing done for my next big book project. Hopefully this one will actually be, you know, good.

3. Learning a lot about search engine optimization. When I get some more free time, I’ll do some more independent research so I can be the best at it.

That’s about it.

Also, you know you’re old if you root through public trash cans (taking off the lid, arm deep into the muck) for a newspaper. Yuck.
