Party in the USA

My CRAZY ASS WEEK!

Oct. 8, 12:38 pm- On a whim, I applied to be a PR intern for a top PR firm in Beverly Hills on CraigsList.
Oct. 8, around 3 pm-I called and asked if they got the chance to look over my resume and cover letter. They asked me to come in the next day for an interview.
Oct. 8, around 8 pm- I leave Dublin on my way to LA, solo.
Oct. 9, noon- Interview
Oct. 9, 7 pm- HELL YES, I got the internship!!
Oct. 10, 7 am- Back home to Dublin...
Oct. 12, 4 pm- I said my goodbyes, packed all of my stuff, and left for LA
Oct. 13, 9 am- Day one: I observed them work with famous clientele, then was assigned a Billboard pop star for a client. Sorry, no names, I signed a confidentiality agreement! (Hint for one client: I can't believe Michael Buble beat us for the number one spot on the Billboard chart!)
Oct. 15, 9 am- Day two: I wrote my first pitch for the client, did media research on fashion and celeb blogs, and was told I was the best intern the office has seen for awhile. Tomorrow's agenda: phone pitches to represent two clients.

Within one week, my life has completely changed. Sometimes, you just can't predict life. And you just gotta take those opportunities and run with them.

This blog will follow me through to my eventual success in entertainment PR in Hollywood. Yes, eventual success. I'm gonna show this damn town just what I'm made of. I'm excited as hell. And a part of me doesn't know what the hell I just did. We'll see.

Next step: find a place!! I'm staying in Carson, CA, 20 miles from Beverly Hills. Which translates to... an hour and a half because traffic is insane. I think I'm moving to Marina del Rey.

Also... try to go to the premiere of New Moon. Maybe my hookup will be strong. I'm crossing my fingers.

I'll keep updating.

By the way, I'm slappin' Miley's Party in the USA... it's so fitting!

I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan
welcome to the land of fame excess,
am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab,
Here I am for the first time
Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous
My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
and a Jay Z song was on
and the Jay Z song was on
and the Jay Z song was on

CHORUS:So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin’ my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
They’re playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It's a party in the USA
Yea, It's a party in the USA
