Yes, it’s true—Liberty is busy as a bee. What else is new? Here’s what’s been going on with me lately:

For my advertising seminar class, we’ll be planning a campaign for the annual National Student Advertising Competition. I ended up being team captain, which works out, since I’m also president of HPU’s American Advertising Federation chapter. Since we’re the only Hawaii university participating this year, we’ll be competing as a wild card team in the District 14 (Northern California/Northern Nevada) competition in San Francisco in April.

I’m also in the running for a communications fellowship in New York City. My interview is next week, so wish me luck with that.

For photography class, I’ll have to build a camera to demonstrate the basic inner workings of one. That’s due in March. I also have to present a case study on Apple’s “Get a Mac” ad campaign for that advertising seminar class in late February. For anthro, I’m presenting the book Things Fall Apart next week. And I have to build a PowerPoint on a new technology for my online Communication Futures class.

Outside of school, I attended the annual Hawaii Advertising Federation Conference last Thursday. Interesting stuff, but it sucked waking up so early. I was supposed to wake up at 4:30 am but I ended up waking up at 5:30 am, so I had to rush to get ready. Of course, I missed my bus, so my mom drove me to Nanakuli to catch up with it. Yeah, unfair, I know. =P

I also went to Goodwill’s annual silent auction last night with most of the Olomana crew. My feet were sore by the end of the evening because of the setup. There were food stands all over the place, and several rooms with the silent auction items. Seating was all over the place, but they were mostly taken. Other than that, I had a good time. I had a glass of red wine—not a big fan of wine—and watched the “Signing Stars.” That was cool. A group of people with developmental disabilities went up on stage and did sign language along with a Leann Rimes song.

So as you can see, I’ve been and will be pretty busy. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. I just hate being stressed out.
