Ready to Relax.

Well I am ready to start the next part of my week. My sister kicked things off to a great week on Monday by surprising me with these gorgeous flowers as a graduation congratulations. I love daises and roses, these were perfect flowers.
I have been busy emailing my resume and portfolio. I have probably hit up almost every major agency in Toronto and even 5 agencies in California. I have heard back from some agencies, all with really thoughtful comments. It's been really good to get constructive criticism and I am taking it all in. I would love someone to give me a shot without having to completely re do my portfolio but I understand that in order to stand out I need to be the best that I can. Most replies have said they're not hiring right now and to keep on trying and only two have actually mentioned looking at award winning advertising books to see how to improve my portfolio. I am just taking it all in and hoping one agency takes a chance on me. If nothing turns up by the end of the month I will start looking for something to pay the bills while I continue to make changes and improve my portfolio.
I am excited though, I have sent out so many emails and replied to everyone saying thank you to those who got back to me and now I am just going to relax... I have done a lot in a little over a week, I'm ready to enjoy summer and the fact that I've graduated. Tonight Kyle and I have worship practice at the church in Niagara Falls and i will be spending the next couple of days there probably until Sunday helping my mom re stain the deck outside. It's going to be a lot of work but I'm looking forward to the distraction, we're hoping to have it all ready for a BBQ on Mother's Day.
Well I need to start prepping for dinner since we have to get on the road to the Falls before 7:00. Tonight we're having yummy chicken Quesidilla and caesar salad. Can't wait.
