This Summer flew by just like any other, but I'm walking away from it with a plethora of invaluable experience and memories that will last a lifetime. I've been a huge David Ogilvy fan for several years, and have always dreamed of getting my hands dirty in the advertising industry, of course, none other than the best, at Ogilvy. Little did I know this silly dream of mine would become a reality. This Summer, I worked in account management at OgilvyOne Toronto and what an amazing experience it has been. Let me first say that the advertising industry is much different than I had imagined (or that's depicted on Mad Men); there are glamorous days, but most of the time it's super busy, fast-moving, and full of surprises. Most nights are long (really, long), but what makes the ad industry different and bearable, is the people and the passion that comes along with these individuals. I was lucky enough to have the most fun, supportive, and amazing team anyone could've ever asked for. On my last day, I was unexpectedly given a giant card, and the most practical gift ever: an iPad work station/bluetooth keyboard-- something I've wanted to get for a while now. To my team, other co-workers that I had the chance to meet and spend time with, clients, and of course, fellow batcave boardroom ladies, thank you for making this Summer so memorable. It has been such a blast!
One chapter closes, and another one begins. I'm moving back to London this weekend to start my last year of undergrad and I've already got a checklist of things I want to do and achieve. For all those also headed back to school, I wish you the best of luck, but most of all, remember to have fun!

So soooo sooo nice of your your co-workers granting you an iPad *o* <33
Ive wanted a docking station for my ipad for a while. Which one is that? The incase cover is just the case right? So you need to get the keyboard separately?
What a great gift!
Random...but where did you get your ipad background? It looks so fun and bright!!

I must say that you deserve everything you've been given - your life, your job, your knowledge, your skills ... etc.
But I must question you:
How you do you always luck out with awesome bosses that gift you with amazing apple products! OMG.
PS. Text me your response, and I'll come visit for homecoming.
sounds like you had a truly brilliant summer.
hope you'll have a good move to london (does that sentence even make sense at all ;)) - which according to me, sounds insanely swell!
and yay , for such a great ipad docking station, you're a lucky girl.
