Internship Interview Monday

Okay...So yesterday was like INCREDIBLE! Totally AWESOME...SWEET...COOL and AMAZING..to put it lightly! I woke up at the crack of dawn to go with Kyle to Toronto.

Before I start on my big internship interview day...notice the red nails! (LOOK DOWN...WAY DOWN!) Haha!! So funny. I was supposed to get my nails done by a professional on Sunday but by the time we got back to Burlington everything was closed. SO my challenge seeker husband Kyle ( Bless His Soul!) told me HE would paint them! He carried on about how it's crazy to spend money getting your nails done every month when you can do it yourself.
HA..I am laughing so much right now because literally...We started painting the nails ..I don't know around 10 at night and didn't finish until like midnight AND in the end we had to change colours 3 times because it wasn't working out and there was polish all over the sides of my nails and fingers...Kyle kept trying to clean it up and in the end you can see that they passed at a distance but BOY was that FUNNY! I think Kyle will be willing to send me to the salon next time without ANY hesitation! LOL. ( I don't normally use those geeky typing lingo terms but today it is necessary!)

MOVING ON..
So we had yesterday down to a science! I had brought along my entire interview outfit and went with Kyle early to work..Sat around on some comfy couches until everyone started showing up around 9:30 then I was kicked out as teams were meeting to talk where I was sitting. I was able to change at one of the near by offices and went off to my Interview (without any wrinkles in my outfit I might ad!)

The Interview was out of this world. I had written down probably too many questions. Mike, the guy interviewing me commented that he didn't expect so many questions! I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but non the less they happened.

I was really impressed by this agency. They sponsor a lot of great foundations to help teens and wouldn't you know it ..MS. He told me they sponsored MS so we got talking about my MS and it opened up this crazy conversation. He let me know that before this he was a music producer which led to more conversations about being in the inner circle at U2 and the up coming show as well as seeing Third Eye Blind next month and taking pictures and maybe blogging about it for Net Fuel.

The blog that I would be working on if I got the internship is new...I would be starting it, it doesn't exist. SO right there are endless possibilities. I got a lot of understanding as to what it should be about. He would like it to be about the community as well as tutorials on web design and advertising to help young teens build their skills. He really emphasised that it should be motivational and inspirational.
I would be working with a web designer and blogging and writing articles about both the client and Net Fuel. Anyway it's a lot to take in. The agency is in one room. It's like a computer lab with 2 rows of computers and all of the people working on them looked like kids! I thought they were all students! It was an incredible chat and Mike told me he had someone else he was interviewing on Wednesday but he would let me know by Thursday what the outcome was..So let's hold our fingers! I am really excited about this. Because there is nothing in place right now I feel like the sky is the limit and I can really run with this and see it succeed.

You know I will keep you posted!

After that was done, Kyle and I went out for lunch to the Firkin where he goes often with his CO Workers ( I was the lucky guest of honour yesterday!) When we were done there he dropped me off downtown at the theater where I saw "The King's Speech" which was an Incredible movie! I loved it. The theater was dead empty though..there were only 2 other guys in there with me...both by themselves. I was chatting with the guy behind me, he was visiting from Chicago with some friends at York University. Anyways. After that I spent an hour at a nearby Winners...bought some Jelly Belly tubes and went home with Kyle. It was a long day! AND it didn't end there. I stayed up until 4:30 AM looking for downtown Toronto places to rent. If I get this internship we are definitely moving!

Phhheewwww Okay....that is it!

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
