WOW

So much has happened in the last few days, I'm not sure where to begin. In my last post I spoke about my uneasiness about writing the LSAT and my yearning for starting a career in public relations and social media. Well Ladies and Gents....I am NOW working in public relations and social media. I'm totally excited, I'm exhausted and elated!! I've been writing, editing and Facebook and twittering my tail off and I love it. I'm also working with a client in brand managing and image consulting. I'm totally excited and I'm loving it. Media is something I've always felt compelled too and I plan to work hard so that I can make my name in this business and that means LOTS of events, charities and networking events. So I plan to give this blog a makeover and start one that deals with Fashion, Beauty and relationships...and also put some pics of myself out and about.

I'm happy and I've finally found what I enjoy doing and I'm being paid for it!! So I hope those that read this blog will follow me to my NEW blog. I'm thinking of naming it the MASH UP! Just a mish mash of what I like, dislike and my mish mash of opinions.

I'm starting some courses at a local college to get my feet wet in a journalism progam and I plan to start my Masters in December. So look out for me!! WORLD HERE I COME!

Much has happened since...

Much has happened since the last time I posted less than 26 hours ago. The last time we spoke i made a comment about how much of a cross road I was at and that I needed help focusing on what made me happy and most importantly fulfilled. I had a long conversation with a fellow fashionista about her website and career. We seem like minded and I'm joining her team as a consultant and a media expert. I'm by no means an media expert I have a hard enough time keeping up with this blog. I do love the Internet and I've made connections with people and changed my life because of blog posts. I'm a lazy fan though and I hardly ever comment which will have to change in the soon coming months. In order for my plan and career to work I have to nurture it and give it the attention it needs.

So I'm starting new blog that will be a MASHUP of all my favorite things including food, fashion, books and the scene. I also plan to do some vblogging as soon as I get my hands on a nifty flip cam. So there you have it, I'm kicking myself in the butt and getting this thing moving. Thank you for all who read and I hope you enjoy my thoughts and words because they come from the heart and I think I'm pretty well-rounded chick. Oh please believe there will be relationship drama, frenemies and weight loss burhaha...

wish me luck
McKenzie!

To Law or Not to Law


It's Confession Time...


as far as my goals for the New Year I have reached some and I have totally flaked on others. The main one is studying for the LSAT I am totally behing and I'm not putting in any effort as well. I think I'm just a student that has to be in the classroom because I'm having a hard time disciplining myself. I'm not sure if I want to be a lawyer for the prestige or if I'm pursuing it because I want to fulfil some need. I know my grades are not what they should be I also know that I have to get a ROCKING grade on my LSAT if I even stand a chance and it seems like every dufus around me is getting in law school. Ahhhh I need some heavenly help on this I hope through prayer that I find that one thing that I really need to do. As far as keeping up with this blog, clearly I've been lacking but I have a new job where I'm taking control of the social media for the an non=profit organization. I hope this might be the entry into what I want. I was listening to a podcast about FREEDOM and it really rang true to me. That's what I want, freedom to make decisions and to guide my life into one that glorifies God and all that he has done for me. I really love social media and I believe I would do a good job on television reporting the news or current events. I just hope I find an opening somwhere and if I do I know that I will give it 100%. So what to do about Law School. I'm going to really dedicate myself to studyiing for 3 hours a day just so that I can learn the art of discipline. Just like working out you just have to do it without excuses to get results. Talking about workout I feel like I've lost some weight, it could be due to the fact that now that I'm doing some temp work I actually eat less because I'm constantly being hounded by the people I work for. That's the one thing I love about blogging. I have the opputunity to vent and just get some of the frustration out. I plan to get the last two courses that I need with my nect check and really buckle down to get work done. I owe it to myself to finish what I've started because I have a lot to offer and I'm hardworking. So Master's Degree or Law School...what do you think????
