Yes, I am still alive. I have just been in Paris! I pinky promise to give a full report before the weeks end. I just need to catch up on sleep and actually go to class. Have a great week!
I am a recent graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign majoring in marketing and international business. I am currently in Denver, CO climbing mountains and fighting off wild animals. In my spare time, I also hold a marketing internship there.
