Updates, questions and concerns

My MIA status as of late has a good reason: I visited the boyfriend in Norman. It was nice to get away for a weekend but was so weird being back there and knowing none of my friends, the people I associated Norman with weren't there. I'm glad I have a good reason to go back but it seems when I do it's just a reminder that the "best years" are behind me. Screw that.

I came home to find an even more bloated puppy than when I left on Thursday, just my luck. He was having troubles going to the bathroom and has yet to go today so when 2 o'clock rolls around, I'll be back at the vet for my seemingly weekly visit. My mother told me last night to "think the unthinkable" in hopes to prepare me for the worst. I understand where she was coming from; I had even contemplated that on the drive back to Houston but it was exponentially worse to hear it from her mouth and not my assume-the-worst mind. Hopefully it'll be a quick fix at the vet today.

An advertising agency in Dallas has a job opening that I am ecstatic and anxious to apply for but they are asking for a writing sample, a 2-4 page point of view on a topic of my choice. Normally I would delight at the opportunity to express myself through my words as I love doing (see: this blog) but this time, I'm having trouble. What topic do I broach for 4 pages without fear of offending my potential employer? How do I ensure my personality and voice leaps off the pages without being too informal?

I have narrowed down my topics to the following:

1) The youth of America's latest obsession with Jersey Shore.

2) The youth of America's obsession with Twilight.

3) The catch 22 of getting a job (can't get a job without experience but how then do I get said experience?).

Does anyone have advice or tips? I'm going to have to call Career Services at OU here in a minute to get their advice as I want to submit my application stat.

If you get a moment today, say a quick prayer (or whatever you do) for my dog. I'm hoping the unthinkable is a ways away...
