Saying its odd here would be an understatement. Advertising at it's most basic is a lot of work, but never the kind of monotonous bank executive work. For the last two weeks i was here, I had not done an artwork on the computer. I was going out, buying paper, printing trippy swirly things, cutting them and pasting them onto one another, and doing the whole thing over again. Cutting spirals onto circles hanging them on twine and watching them swirl. 

Im working with respectable brands (mind you I'm being modest here) and it's a lot of work, but its a lot of fun work. And I'm getting paid a respectable amount. The starting salary of a graduate here, that is. And I have two years ahead of me to graduate. I can only picture the journey I have ahead. I'm excited, I'm nervous but most of all, I'm happy. I'm tired, ofc, but lets be real here, just how many of my school batch mates will ever get a job to come to a work place and sit and do paper craft and plan the layout of a water park? I ing love it.

I still do regret not being able to pursue biology, but that's a regret I can put behind me eventually. Given the past year only that I had spent in advertising, I realize that vast and in-depth knowledge we gain about everything that's happening around us. Its not only the encyclopedic effect that makes me wonder in awe about this industry, but it's also the demand of quick and witty response from an individual.

Advertising doesn't just read information. It processes that, and makes its best effort to produce a impactful results. It's a school, but the kind that works for me. 
It's the kind of job that never makes you wonder about the footprint you leave behind because with every piece of work that reach out to the public, you do just that. Maybe it's not as significant as the discovery of proof that supports the theory of big bang, but it's far better off than what most of us ever gets to have a taste of.

I see potential in everything now, not just biology. I see potential in a leftie eating ice cream in a funny way; the kind of perspective I could have entirely lost if I had not joined advertising. 
All in all, my new workplace is bomb. It's weird too, but that's a given. Theres's still a couple of things left for me to sort out, but everything will fall into place eventually. 

College life is turning dramatic but well, I've heard its meant to be.
If I have one regret that I cannot not worry about; that would be the amount of time I spend with my cats now.
Due my endless pile of exciting work, im usually held behind at work more often than I was before; and I spend less and less time at home. And I dont really care, it's not the best of homes anyway; but I miss my cats still. Wish I could bring them to work. They'd be darlings, but there are two dogs in office and I'm pretty sure it won't be a good idea. My cats aren't the most social ones. 

Today, the office bunch is throwing a party to celebrate the birth date of one of our directors (we have two) and he's yet to come and discover the decorations we put up. I'll hang around until seven or eight in the evening and get out; there's still a story board to be drawn for our stop motion animation assignment at college and I'm just passing out in bed when I get home from work. Gotta finish that. Plus I'm not the most party-person around.

:D Bye!
