Job Interview
Wow. I finally got my first post graduation interview. It will be in Burbank, Ca with Aflac. News to me Aflac has increased revenue by 20% in 2009. Sounds like a successful company to me. If insurance is what I must pitch, then bring it on.

Sports and Recreation Experience
I have competed in five triathlons and three marathons along with many 5/10K races.
Been rock climbing for about seven years now. Climbed anything from boulders 18-pitch routes and sleeping on port-a-ledges.
I have been on multi-day backpacking trips through the Tetons and Yosemite.
I love to kayak, mountain bike and snowboard, along with cross county skiing and cliff jumping.
Surfing is super fun and spending all day playing beach volleyball is my favorite.
There you have it...sports and recreation is my life, but is it yours?
