first observation: miami is colorful.

even the school.  i remember shuffling my way to the lobby of the Miami Ad School. i'm not typically a nervous person, but starting a program that would hopefully set me up for a career i wanted since i entered advertising, plus enduring the constant pinch of my left shoe (my left foot is bigger) which was purchased with private loan money (not responsible), plus meeting 19 other ambitious (presumably competitive) classmates made me anxious. 

but the lobby made me feel comfortable and it wasn't only the bright color palette. it was the showcase of student work playing on flatscreens on the wall, the casual bleacher seating in the center of the room with computer power outlets overhead, the multiple clocks that kept time for each Miami Ad campus around the globe and, most of all, the unleashed dog panting in the corner. the lobby was kind of like a nice, unassuming synopsis of the school: it breathes creativity, encourages social exchange, knows the importance of what's going on internationally and the place absolutely loves animals.

Hi Kelly!! loved the blog, it's really helpful! I'm actually thinking about applying to the bootcamp for planners next year and I have some questions I bet u once had, and hope you could answer.

Right now, I'm working as an account supervisor in an advertising agency here in Peru, but really looking forward to take one more step to what I always wanted of advertising.

Hope to hear from you soon!!

And, yea, you got me, my left foot is bigger too!
