I think I might have found my niche.

Long time, no talk.

So I'm finally doing better when it comes to my teeth. I'm still in a little bit of pain, but nothing compared to what it could be so I'm not complaining.

As most of you know, or SHOULD know today is the first OSU game of the season against Marshall. My dad is coming up for the game and we're trying to find tickets or he's found tickets already or something like that. Basically we're trying to go to the game and if we don't make it, we're hitting up a local bar for the duration. I'm so pumped just for football season to be here, which means it's about fall time! My favorite time of year!!!

I'm on my second week working at the admission office as the intern and LOVING it! It's the first job I've ever had that I thoroghly enjoy every aspect of my work (well so far that is). Actually, there is one thing about it giving me a headache. I'm having to confirm my travel schedule. I'll be traveling to high schools and attending college fairs across Ohio and even some in Indiana.

The other intern, Danielle, has been working on her travel schedule and apparently it was a breeze for her. I was not so lucky. Schools only can do visits on certain days or certain times or not at all. And the best, is truly when schools ignore your communication with them. It's really not that bad, just frustrating and the planner in me really just wants it all to be taken care of.

I hit the road in a week and a half. I'm pretty excited about that. I'll be traveling with the new admission counselor, Paul to Northwest Ohio. This will be a great way for me to get a feel for how these things operate.

This week and last, I've been doing some mock college fairs and admission conferences. It is extremely helpful to go through the motions. I feel very comfortable and will probably get to do one with prospective students within the week.

I am truly loving this experience and cannot wait to help students. I think I might have found my niche. Finally : )
