Making Up for Yesterday

Last night we got back to campus later than usual after doing a “moonlight tour” of the monuments in D.C. In addition to this my dorm roommates and I had an issue… Our bathroom door locked itself. Thus we had to get help and it took until a little after midnight for us to find someone sufficiently skilled at picking locks (because the key was MIA). Needless to say it was a tiring evening and I was in no mood to post. So about yesterday: We started off in the morning by attending a talk on the field of public relations. We were showed an example of the type of video and way of sending a message public relations people create and use. You van view it at this URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feXOVkDp-Rw  …I thought the PR speech was extremely informative and in fact made me want to look into it further.

Later in the day yesterday we went to the National Press Club and saw Chuck Todd, Jessica Yellin, and Jonathan Martin talk and answer our questions. Next Hoda Kotb arrived and gave a a completely awesome speech! She was so real while talking to us, like she knew who she was and wasn’t afraid to show the world. She was truly inspirational, saying that before landing her first job in the news industry she was rejected 27 consecutive times. In the middle of her talk she stopped to play us some music from her Ipod that she liked to work out to at the gym. She was so fun and at the same time gave us valuable advice about how to be successful yet never lose your true self. I think I’ve found yet another great person to look up to!
