ex(PR)essed

We’re only seven days into 2008, but it already feels like Christmas was eons ago. The routine of hurried mornings, work, housework, church activities, bed has washed over me in a way that is both comfortingly familar and annoyingly familar. I find that I am longing for more vacation while at the same time relaxing in the familarity of routine.

But, I must admit, if I have to be at work, I’m pretty glad that I spend my days at Messiah College. My colleagues and I already celebrating a huge media success on 2008 — Mike True, director of the Internship Center, is quoted in yesterday’s edition of “The New York Times.” This is huge! As the PR geek that you all know me to be, I spent a fair amount of time tracking down my own copy of the paper yesterday because I still get such a thrill when I see the College’s name in print. (Don’t even me get started about how ridiculous I think it is that Borders doesn’t carry the NY Times…)

In other good news, Yonette made delicious Starbucks coffee for us this morning. A good way to start the day! And, our office’s new promotional writer started today! Welcome, Laurie!
