Good News!!

Yes, I should be studying for the two finals that I have tomorrow that are looming over my head but this is far more exciting and stimulating. If you are interested in taking my finals tomorrow give me a quick call and we can probably work something out. Anyhow, on to the good stuff.

So first off, just a little background information on the trip itself before I talk about the good news. As a way to partially fund our trip, our group has teamed up with a program that is offered by the career center called "hit the road." As part of this program, the career center gives us $450 to go wherever the wind blows us. Our end of the bargain is that we conduct informational interviews along the way of people who share our vocational interests. We are also required to keep a blog that is located on the Messiah College site and video a good portion of our trip. If you know the three of us, we embraced these stipulations and are looking forward to the adventure with a camera in hand.

Enter good news:

In the past week we have set up interviews with the following people who I am extremely pumped about.

- VP of global operations for Adidas basketball in Portland, Oregon
- Director of Game operations for the Portland Trailblazers

We also have some good leads on a writer, a screenwriter, and a marketing executive.
