Done with Day One

So I kicked off the first day of school with a bad start:

  • Burnt Charlton’s breakfast
  • Had the dog run after some deer (which resulted in me running after her for 5 minutes)
  • Had printer issues at school so i end up missing my finance slides for class

But then the day turned around. Not like choirs singing or anything but it went pretty well after that. Today I had finance, econ and operations. I got cold called in econ and survived and I felt adequately prepared for everything. Had my resume writing workshop after class and got a pretty awesome review on it (just needed a few grammar tweaks) Then it was time to come home, get some more studying done (lots of reading for my management case discussion on weds), grabbed a quick dinner here at the house before heading back to IU to see Guy Kawasaki speak. It was such a cool talk, I ended up with pages and pages of notes…hopefully I will be able to apply some of his lessons.

But since my Myers Briggs says I like lists here is what I accomplished today:

  • Turned in team charter
  • Revised resume
  • Turned in academy application
  • Wrote my SAC application
  • Turned in my SAC application
  • Read Mondavi case for MGMT and did an okay outline of the case
  • Read module for weds econ class including text
  • Watched two portions of the finance video lecture series

The sad thing is, even with all that I got done today I have loads more I didn’t even get a chance to start. Gotta keep treading!

Frantic

So today was the last day before the official start of class, not that the last few weeks haven’t been a lot of work. It may sound like all hot air balloon rides and food festivals but we have had some hard core reading and that case comp was brutal. Just like Jumpstart, we are going to start getting cold called and thrown into the fire. Core professors, please be gentle!!

Today was an all day study session, with a small break for me to write my academy application essay. The hope is to ge that turned in after my resume workshop tomorrow so I can get my interview out of the way. The club meetings start happening on Tues, we have a leadership presentation tomorrow night and not to mention the SAC application available tomorrow to try to wiggle into my schedule. AND CAN’T FORGET ROUNDTABLES! I need to research my companies something fierce and get everything all ready for networking night on Weds. Too much too do, so little time.

If nothing else, at least my lunch is packed!
