Love the Madness

It is the second week of my internship with Moosejaw Mountaineering and I love it. Now I am not just saying that because mmb (my mean boss) is making me write this and will be reading it. I seriously love this place.

My internship is in cohorts with the marketing team for Moosejaw. I have been able to sit in multiple marketing meetings. Meetings, boring right? Eh, not really. Sitting in a room with the marketing team enables me to learn how they establish their ideas and organize them. I now understand the excel sheet that has 50 million dates, words, colors etc. on it about when different contests and other promotions need to be sent out and put on the website. I also was able to sit in a catalog meeting which hopefully I will even be able to help get started and be a part of that team.

I have even had the honor of writing out of some the infamous emails to customers and giving out points and t-shirts. I have always loved Moosejaw for their crazy and young marketing schemes, not only because I am a little crazy myself but because they are loved by everyone and they work.

Want to know the cherry on top of it all? I even have been able to sit in a photo shoot and will be able to be a part of more. Photography people!

So let me see here, by now you are all probably jealous of my internship. I am even jealous of myself. This internship encompasses everything I love to do and what I want to do in the future. I am an arts and humanities and communications double major with two specializations in design (focus in photography) and public relations with a passion for cultures, traveling and snowboarding. Moosejaw is just that, they create fresh marketing designs to promote products for traveling and adventure. I just can't wait to find out what else is in store here. Can we just skip August and have a July V.2 so that it never ends?

p.s. Plus they bring in their dogs. If you know me and my love for animals you'd understand.

Zombies

Zombies, are they here with us? Do they want to eat us? Are they hiding in the corners of abandoned buildings? Is it a virus or a breed? If they want to kill us, can we protect ourselves? Zombies raise many questions.

Personally I have had many years of experience, if zombies do want to eat us, I am ready for it. Even if I just have a machete in hand, there is no chance of turning into one of them. I hope that many others in this world can gain experience and human survival is prominent. If I become the only one left, I am unsure if I can keep going on. With no one to talk to and keep me company it might get lonely. I could keep a zombie as a pet but the drool can get quite irritating.

Then again, maybe zombies just want peace. We could try to reach out and hope for the best. The best being that maybe the zombies just want to have a tea party and have a girls night out. We could share our love for Baskin Robbins chocolate chip ice cream and watch the science fiction movie I am Legend. We could giggle about the ignorance of Hollywood and the misunderstanding of zombies.

Who will come with me, to reach out to the zombies? I'll bring an offering, Moosejaw Stickers. That could be our common bond. If it goes wrong, I'll have my machete in my back pocket.
