I remember the first time I saw the trailer for An Education; being the unabashed Anglophile that I am I knew right away I had to see.  However there was something stopping me… the only theaters I could find showing the film were in Manhattan.  As much as I wanted to see it I wasn’t sure driving the hour into the city, paying the tolls, finding parking and paying the inflated movie prices in New York City were worth it.  I now know that this movie would have been worth all of that.

Thankfully this amazing film received some very well deserved Oscar nominations (including Best Picture and Best Actress).  This extra attention brought the film to a theater much closer to home, affording me the opportunity to see it without having to deal with any bridge and tunnel traffic.

I can honestly tell you this was one of the best film’s I have ever seen.  It has already etched itself onto my heart and has already inspired an abundance of self reflection.

Writing reviews of things has never been my strong suit; I just really enjoyed this film.  I thought it was beautiful without being pretentious.  Funny, clever and fresh.  It was also beautifully acted; not once did I look at “Jenny” and think of “Sally Sparrow”.  Each one of the actors played their part so superbly I was able to completely lose myself in the story… and I loved every moment of it.

Miss Stubbs: Just paperbacks and postcards, Jenny.
Jenny: That’s all that matters.

I hate writing about myself.  I feel like I just can’t do it.
For days I’ve needed to write a bio for a speaking engagement I am doing about women in the communications field.
Perhaps it’s ironic that I am incapable of communicating about myself.
So, I gave the task to someone else, giving her bullet points about my career and this is what she came up with:

Jennifer Garibay-Weiss is currently living in Belmar, New Jersey and working at STAR 99.1 FM Radio Station as the Promotions Coordinator.  STAR 99.1 is a non-profit family friendly radio station serving the NY metro area and she has been working there for about 3 years.  She has a very diverse and exciting background.  She has experience in the performing arts, as a former member of a communications ministry called Covenant Players that traveled around the country relaying messages of hope and inspiration in an entertaining fashion.  Jenn was a freelance promoter at Sony/BMG, TVT Record and for Russell Simmons.  She has worked at 4 different radio stations and has been in the radio industry for 5 years. Jenn believes in the importance of internships and the rewards of learning through experience in the work place. Building relationships and hard work with dedication are the most important means of succeeding in the field of communications. Her song for 2010 is “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” which shows off her fun yet devoted side to making the best with what she already has been given.

First, I’d like to thank @RobsessedBlog for the information…

Next, I would like to thank my boss Stacey for the phone number…

Finally, I need to thank the girl at NBC tickets for taking my reservation to…
