A few days ago Ball State/Pi Sigma Epsilon (which I recently joined) hosted the largest sales career fair in the nation. So, it was kind of a big deal. Well, I wasn't all that thrilled with my choices of companies to intern with. After talking to companies like Whirlpool, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Hershey, and some student led internships I was more discouraged than anything. Nothing seemed like a good fit for me or anything that I was interested in or could get excited about.
The next day I was pretty discouraged and did a lot of processing and praying about what if I'm in the wrong major, am I really going to get what I want even if I try really hard to get it, is this what God wants me to do with my life... things like that.
About a month ago I wrote down a list of names of people I knew in different companies that could possibly help me get a good internship or people that said they would help me look. I came up with about 12 people. I had tried to contact a few of them but things just weren't falling into place like I would have liked. I continued down my list and contacted Luke Matz via facebook. Over the summer we talked a little about sales and he said when I came to the point of needing an internship he told me to talk to him about it, so I did. We had been emailing back and forth and I was telling him some of the things I was looking for and yesterday I get an email saying, "I can help." What I am going to be doing is co-traveling with Luke and visiting doctors and working at their branch in South Bend one day. He does dental equipment sales. This internship is something much more of what I was leaning towards. I was sooo excited to read that message from him. It works out perfect because I can still take summer classes first summer session. Which I have to take Marketing 300 before I can get credit for an internship anyways. Then I will be on track to graduate July 2012.
Things are really falling into place and I couldn't be happier. It just shows how good God is when I was feeling like giving up he was there.

Crazy Busy!
It have been quite some time since I have blogged. I have been extremely busy lately but it's been good busy not stress busy. I have been getting more involved in school which is a good thing. Since I have switched my major to business I feel more at home. I really enjoy my classes a lot more even the ones that aren't that fun and I am determined and motivated to get good grades in all my classes. I also recently join Pi Sigma Epsilon. PSE is a business fraternity. And yes girls can be in it.. its coed. Being in PSE for only a short time I've already made new friends and am having a lot of fun. We have gone to a Pacers game, a company called TQL donated $2000 dollars to us and took us to Scotty's Brewhouse for dinner and paid for everything, we've had a bake sale, put on a basketball tournament called Winter Jam.. and so much more. At the end of March we will be going to a PSE National Conference in Orlando and I cannot wait. Not only will we have a lot of fun I'm sure but there will be a career fair there, many workshops, and sale competitions going on. Everyone I talked to says it's a life changing experience and I cannot wait to go.
On top of all that business I am still working at the football stadium everyday and babysitting 3 days a week. I recently started donating plasma but the facility in Muncie stresses me out every time I go because the people or their system or something is so unorganized it's frustrating. I also am making it a habit to do some sort of homework everyday even if I don't technically have any.. which is progress already from last semester. I did end up with good grades last semester though.
We have a sales career fair coming up on Monday. I am still deciding whether or not I'm going to get an internship this summer or not. If I want to graduate somewhat on time I need to take summer classes but its highly recommended that I get an internship.. I may get one in the fall in that case. That is all still up in the air.
Regardless of the busyness in my life I am going to try to blog more to keep you all updated on the wonderful life of Jeni Dunithan because I know how much you all enjoy reading about my life ;)
Untill next time....

Miss Claire Hazen
This is Claire Hazen one of the little girls I baby sit and she is the smartest 3 year old I know... but if you had 6 older brothers and sister pretty sure you'd learn a lot too not to mention one younger one.
I baby sit Claire and Lydia (18months) a couple times a week and Claire is hilarious! Lydia pretty much napped the whole time I was there this day so Claire and I had a photo shoot I was trying to teach her to do a fishy face...

and a kissy face...
and a silly face...
and a cute face...
A few funny stories about Claire... One day I went over to watch her and she looked really sad and sighed really big I said Claire what's wrong and she just pointed across the room to a few toys on the ground. I said what is that stuff bothering you? She said (in a mother like voice) I JUST CLEANED! I about lost it.. bet she's heard that saying a few times before.
Last time I watched her she kept telling me how much she loved me and I just couldn't get enough of it..
Claire: I love you Jeni
Jeni: I love you too Claire
Claire: I love you Jeni
Jeni: I love you more
Claire I love you most
Jeni: I love you A LOT
Claire: I love you a lotest
I had a few videos of her signing some pretty popular songs and it was hilarious because she would sing parts and make the rest up but it amazingly still fit the tune of the song. I also have a few where she made up her own song... I just can't figure out how to get them off my phone.

Summer
Since I didn't blog all summer I figured I'd fill you in on some things that I did.
I work at the Frog A LOT!! This isn't a bad thing.. I was able to save enough money to pay for all my rent for a year plus have quite a bit extra money to live off of.. even though I still have a job down here at school.
I went to Zac Brown Band concert in Ft. Wayne and that was really fun with Laura and Tricia.
I also went to a James Otto concert with my roommate Taylor. Funny story about it... She originally told me it was a Kelli Pickler concert and we were both sooo excited then come to find out she didn't come and they put James Otto in instead. Taylor tells me this the day of which was fine I was going regardless to hang out with her. So her dad is driving all of us and Taylor also told me the concert was in Huntington... nope.. it was in Warren. So I'm thinking I'm going to a Kelli Pickler concert in Huntington and I get James Otto in Warren. Haha gotta love Taylor! We had a blast!
I got to play the cowbell with a band at the Frog, 40% Steve to Low Rider... and I was REALLY good at it! Thinking of starting my own band someday! I had pictures of me playing the cowbell but I don't have access to them... long story but I'm sure you can imagine.
Took a solo train ride to Chicago to stay with my friend Ben who just recently got a job in the big city.. we went to a Cubs game and got 2nd row seats to the right behind the dugout. Ben's building manager for his apartment just gave them to him.. kinda a steal! I don't really follow baseball all the much nor do I have a favorite team but it was really fun to go.
This was the view out of Ben's apartment. If I woke up to that every morning I think I would be so motivated to conquer the world. I've been to Chicago several times mainly to go shopping but Ben showed me all over Wrigleyville and other little "towns" and it was so amazing. I also got to see my first transvesdite and hopefully my last :/
Those are just a few big things I did this summer.. all in all I had a great summer!

I'm Back!
Hello Blog Readers!
I want to apologize for my lack of blogging for the past several months. I have been so incredibly busy! I wanted to start up as soon as I got back to school but that obviously didn't happen until now.. a month into school. I was trying to finish up online classes from the summer that over lapped into the school year. Let's just say never again will I do that HA!
So I must dedicate my motivation for starting to blog again to someone.. I actually have never met her nor do I know her name, but my roommates Taylor has this friend Emily who's sister reads my blog. She told Emily to tell Taylor to tell me to start blogging again because she likes to read my blog and that made me feel pretty good, so I had to start it up again on behalf of what I like to call "my fan" hah :)
So I want to welcome you all to apartment 405!
Here is our dinning room table that I score for $25 down the road from my house. It is a great table we all love it seeing as how we didn't have a table last year. Thanks to my mom reupholstering the seats of the chair and my dad redoing the back of the chair. I don't know the technical term for that but it looked cool when he was doing it.
We do love our table BUT it's totally not level. Our living room/dinning room floor caves in. I'm convinced one day we are all gonna fall through the floor but I'm just glad we're on the top floor so I won't be squished underneath. Sorry apartment 305 :/ Part of me wonders what their ceiling looks like..
I like that you can see our table from our kitchen. This way we can have a conversation with whoever is cooking or doing homework at the table.
From previous blogs we all know that I was really excited about the garbage disposal and yes it's everything I wanted and more. You can just clear your plate right in the sink it's amazing! I also like the rest of our kitchen we have lots of cabinet space plenty of counter space. Our dishwasher is just a tiny thing though but I'm still happy we have one.
As for our washer and dryer... well it cleans my clothes well it's just in a tiny room where you can't even open the dryer door all the way. It's a tight fit but gets the job done.
Now to my favorite room in our apartment... MY ROOM! :) Same stuff as last year and its a lot smaller but it's still my space. As you can see the majority of my room is bed and I had to downsize my desk from last year. The other piece is in our dinning room you can see in an above picture.
This is where I hang my purses, scarves, and jackets... when the light are off and I'm going to bed I always get scared because in the dark this innocent pile of accessories looks like a scary man with a sheet over his head... I know I'm 20 years old and I'm still scared of the dark.
This was my big purchase of the year from my summer working at the Frog. I bought a 32" plasma t.v. and this nice little t.v. stand to go under it. And yes I put it all together all by myself.
Okay now you've seen my new place and I'm starting to have more time to do fun things like blog so I promise to keep up with it. Trust me I have lots to blog about I even made a list of things to blog about when I couldn't blog.. I've missed it.

Spring Break 2010
Spring Break was defiantly different than last year but we still had a lot of fun! There was a bunch more drama this year compared to last year when there was none. But you learn to handle those situations and move along.. which is exactly what I did. I didn't let it ruin my vacation.
Here are the girls I went with. I didn't really know them that well except Taylor but we had a lot of fun.
Some things I learned on spring break....
1. Mac N Cheese + potato chips= really yummy
2. Nothing in life is free... there is always a catch.
3. Always melt butter BEFORE you put it on your pancakes it soaks in so much better. There was an outreach group that put on a free pancake breakfast each morning for everyone on spring break and they melted the butter in a big pot and scooped it on your pancakes for you... on boy it was yummy. I asked for two scoops... on my way to high cholesterol and I love it!
4. How much of a ditz I am...
So I thought I lost my phone somewhere in out hotel room so I borrowed one of the girls' phones to call mine... Some guy answered my phone. I was like oh my how'd you get my phone I need my phone back I must had left it somewhere can I meet you somewhere to get my phone back I really need it back. The guy was like no this is my phone my name is Ryan my number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. I tell the guy oh Ryan that's my brother's name... he goes "JENI?" I'm thinking how does he know my name.. then it hit me. I'm the dumbest person in the world. Instead of calling my phone number I dialed my brother's who's number is one digit different than mine. I legit thought that some guy had my phone. Probably the funniest thing that has ever happened to me!
5. Who your true friends really are
Like I said earlier there was a lot of drama on the trip but we still made the most of it and I wouldn't have had a better time without Taylor there. She is truly a great friend. We always have the most fun together.
I'm already saving for Panama City Beach Spring Break 2011.
