Whats up guys. So, I'm prod to be the first guy (besides Andrew) to post on this blog, and luck for you guys, I'm currently taking an online class thats teaches be how to blog (a very complicated process) among many other "technical writing mediums". Anyways, the class is lame. So I thought I would kind of introduce myself to everyone because I don't think I did a very good job of it at the intern meeting last week.
So, my name is Jeffrey Thomas Brannigan, I was born and raised in Marin County, California and then moved to Houston when I was 12 at the start of middle school. I have an older sister who just graduated from UT and will be working for a consulting firm in Houston. I'm currently finishing off my Undergrad in Politics at A&M and I'm sort of leaving my options open as to what I'm going to do post-graduation. In fact, this is my first real business-world internship. Up until last year, I planned on pursing a career in national politics and even interned for a congressman in DC for three months. Don't get me wrong, I had an awesome time but it made me realize that working in politics at the national level may not be for me at this point in my life. Anyway, a mutual friend of myself and my sister got me interested in advertising. He's been working for GSD&M for about 3 years now and told me he thought I would be a good fit in the industry. Anyway, I was hired by Tocquigny and here I am!! I really like it so far and I'm excited to get to work with you guys this summer.
In addition to this internship, I'm doing a few other things this summer. First of all, I'm only here in Austin about 3 days a week (M-W) and staying at my sisters place with her roommates while she is spending her summer in Israel. Thursday and Friday, I'm working at a Law firm in College Station as a runner to make a few bucks to exist on this summer, which by the way is possibly the best job ever. All I do is drive to the courthouse, title companies, storage, other law offices and sometimes to Sam's Club to do some shopping. All of this while driving a truck the law firm owns and pretty much just talking on the phone all day.....its legit. In addition to that I'm taking that way-cool online class and I'm also a Fish Camp Counselor for A&M's welcome/brainwashing camp for freshman. Its a lot of fun. All sumer long until camp which is in early August, my job is to get to know the other 23 counselors in my specific camp, which means taking road trips, having pool parties all summer and just hanging out constantly, its a pretty sweet gig.
Anywho, thats me this summer in a nutshell. I'd love to hear about the rest of y'all.

Hey - my brother is going to be a freshman going at A&M going to the fish camp. I'll have to tell him to look for you! Will you work all of the camps?
