Turning Points

jhameiaJust writing right now to say that that was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I've been placed into positions where I meet completely different people just by virtue of being in the right place at the right time, but this is one events where I'm ridiculously pleased with everything, except the awkward conversation, but I'm not going to sweat over it.
First, after work, I went to get my ticket. Then,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lovely_lici called me up, telling me she was headed over to the HSC to get her blazer, and since I put in my order earlier than she did, it meant my blazer would be done earlier than 4pm, too. We spent some time shopping.
When I got back, I napped from 3.30 - 4.30 and as soon as I woke up, I flew t the bathroom, put on my pink shirt (courtesy of Smartset), my Fairweather blazer, pantyhose (courtesy of Shopper's... more on this later) and skirt and proceeded to very methodically put on makeup - foundation, concealer, blush (bought a new brush for this) and eyeshadow (champagne from Elianto).
Met up with Alicia and we walked together to the reception.
In the order of who I met through the evening and actually talked to:
- Jeff Lohnes (Outgoing VP Internal)
- Mike Keating
- Mitch Gillingwater (Incoming SMUSA Prez)
- Michael Duck, CEO of SureShot Dispensing. His company produces all the dispensing machines for Tim Horton's.
- A CEO from Pepsi. I can't remember his name for the life of me, but I remember that his education background is in History, and he comes from New Jersey.
- Pamela Scott Crace - Editor of Progress Magazine. I knew about her beforehand and as we were headed in, I zeroed in and introduced myself to her. And, YAY, she's ALSO an English Hons. student!! So much for me being out of place for being an Arts student.
- Neville Gilroy - Publisher (and founder) of Progress Magazine. I sat in between him and Pamela during the dinner. He's kinda cantankerous. I liked him a great deal.
- Linda Kuga Pikulin - CEO of Pepsi Bottling Group, Canada division. She was our keynote speaker, and after the dinner, I went to her to congradulate her on a gret speech. I'm going to her breakfast tomorrow morning!! For a very formal business dinner, I must say, her suit was SO SHINEY, it was FABULOUS!
- Paul O'Hearn - president of the SMU Alumni Association. I went to him to introduce myself, and to ask him for help in getting alumni who were involved with SMUDS to get in touch with us for our 100 Years of Drama @ SMU year. He was really interested, and his entire face just lit up from it.
I'm terrifically, terrifically excitable right now and I'm going right to bed because I want to be on time for Linda's special announcement!
