so, today is my second first day of school. second first day? how did i get here? well, i had my first first day of school once straight out of high school and ended up having a little too much of the "college experience" and not so much of the "college".
after losing my full academic scholarship at arkansas state, i decided to take a semester off and get a job in advertising at the arkansas democrat-gazette. turns out i am really good at sales. i started making money, moved to florida, got an advertising sales job at the st. petersburg times, started making even more money, signed a million dollar advertising deal with florida's largest real estate company and made a whole lot of money. i moved on to broadcast sales for cox radio and did well...then somehow ended up bartending and managing a busy bar in the channelside district of downtown tampa until a shitty economy and various comedies of errors resulted in the change of ownership and subsequent closing of said bar.
after two months of searching for a sales job, being told that since i am "overqualified for this position, we feel like you won't be a long-term employee," for every sales job i've interviewed for, and toying with the idea of going back to school, i decided to get another bar job and go for it. so here i am, a bartending 28-year old political science student. and i couldn't be more excited! i haven't posted a blog in a while because i've been really busy getting all this school stuff straight.
and today has finally come...my second first day of school.
