Hey Everyone. . .
Like Tom, I also wasn't at the intern orientation due to a very strange infection that came out of nowhere that caused me to go into emergency surgery to have an abcese removed from my throat--and its stories like that you'll come to know are very common in my life--notorious for having the most outrageous things happening as opposed to the normal. . .
Anyhow, my name's Laura Correnti and I'm a 22-year-old Saggitarius in my second year of the master's program at UT, getting a degree in Advertising. I'll be wrapping up this December with sights set on moving back east to the NY/NJ area -- I am a born and raised Jersey girl with little inhibition to speak my mind (it sometimes gets me in trouble but I do appreciate the value in honesty). I'm Italian and Irish and my family is probably larger than yours ;) I miss thick Jersey accents, real good pizza and everyone rushing to get nowhere
I moved down here last August after completing my undergrad at American Univ. in Washington, DC where I majored in law/government and minored in business admin and completed a few years of division 1 college soccer with a preference for grey goose as opposed to gatorade. I spent a glorious summer at the Jersey shore (which I miss oh so much right now) before I moved out here to learn about southern hospitality. Country music and texmex have grown on me, but I am so not a fan of this heat (and yes, I know, it is only June). I am loving the advertising industry more so than I expect I would like law school (my original life plan). I am a teaching assistant for the notorious John Murphy and ADV 318J during the school year (Ryan was a former student of mine so you can feel free to ask him how really good I am at this stuff, hah). I like the school spirit vibe and football (ehem tailgating) at UT; I do not like early classes nor do I love how big classes are and how spread apart everything is.
Aside from my time here at Tocquigny this summer, I'm taking two classes and working at a sports bar/restaurant on 6th street at mopac, Third Base (www.thirdbaseaustin.com) so come check it out (no one knows my real real name there as I was quick to be given the nickname "jersey" so thats who you have to ask for) -- we have a great happy hour and 30 something flat screen HD TV's and a whole garage of free parking. Oh and for fun, you can catch me downtown in the warehouse district on the weekends, regularly.
Other guilty pleasures include celebrity blogs (perezhilton.com and x17online.com), the NY Yankees, Sopranos and Sex & the City, shopping, spin & kickboxing class, nights on the town, italian food and anything that includes the sun & water.
Any questions, feel free to ask. . .
But my question is, when are we all getting together for our own "not so free" beer friday?

The Murph is awesome! I was in his AAF campaigns class this last semester and did the whole competition thing. I didnt have him for 318J, so thats probably why I think hes a funny old man. My whole class loved how he would send us memo style emails that always started with "The purpose of this memo is.." Haha good times
yes, murphy is notorious for memorandums.
and he is a brillant, sincere man!
