Yeah, I love New York. Despite my torn ACL, the last 24 hours have been unbelievable. I am filled to the brim with excitement. I know I’m an outsider to this industry but I kind of love that. I am learning something new every minute. Initially I was apprehensive. At our team’s first brainstorming session I had a lot of ideas but they came from a perspective that is very different from an ad student. I now understand that this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. As I sit here practicing for our pitch on Tuesday I feel very grateful that I was able to contribute.
