Wits end..

I have spend too much time trying to find articles on event planning mishaps and horror stories. A Google search doesn't quite have what I'm looking for. I posted a couple links about tips on what not to do and events gone wrong stories. But that isn't good enough for me... I tired going into the school's library web page and searched in JSTOR there but the results weren't even close to what I am looking for. I want to find things that have gone wrong in other events planned, what I should avoid in my future events planned, what to look for in a company with well strained specialists, what kind of company would be embarrassing to event plan for, etc. Things like that.

What search engine on the UVU website should I use? What would be some good key phases to type in?
I've used:
-Event planning mishaps
-Events gone wrong
-What to look for in an event planning company
-Pros and cons of event planning
-Steps to take in event planning
-Things to avoid while planning an event
-Event planning horror stories
-What makes a great event planner - this one brings up a audio book about a woman that teaches you how to    be a good event planner... I may end up purchasing it..

good times just keep comin'

This week I got in touch with an old friend of mine that I used to work with, we ate some lunch while I drilled her on her job. She is now the event planner for Sleepy Ridge Golf Course. I have some pretty detailed notes on the interview that I am not allowed to post (she said so..). After talking with her and discussing what it is like for her, being an event planner and she told me that if I wanted I can have an internship with her in the April! WOO! haha!! She told me that she would love my help and I am more than happy to intern for Sleepy Ridge and Noah's :) Oh yeah, its all comin' together!

I have seriously tried my very hardest to get my scanner to work. It hates me. I cannot scan in the pictures of my sister in law and my brother's wedding! But know that I am getting the pictures together in a nice portfolio, I am getting some pictures reprinted so they can be bigger too. I am still waiting for those to be done... Maybe Target was a bad place to get those reprinted....
