Long day

So I didn't get to leave campus today until 8, and I got there at 9:30...what a day! First, I trucked across campus to pick up my SPSS software for my Market Research class. Was very glad the rain decided to come later, that's for sure. Then back at Kelley, I attempted to read for class and didn't get very far as I was talking to my classmates who were preparing for their first interviews on campus. Next up, Market Research where we talked about the 2 hour focus group video we watched on diagnosing allergies. Then straight to a planning meeting for the International Dessert Potluck we are co-hosting with Asian & Latin MBA. After that, a meeting to talk about my experiences at Qualcomm with an Investment Management Academy student who plans on pitching the stock for the fund the academy manages. Then a little more studying and talk about interviews (the hot topic of every first year these days) and then there was an MBAA funding and planning meeting. Once that wrapped up, I got debriefed on volunteering for Kelley's first Women's Case Invitational that my friends are competing in. After the quick debrief, it was off to the kick off reception in the basement catered by Good Life Culinary, which was absolutely delicious! Once the girls were all settled in their break out room, I finally left school and went to Target to get my thank you notes for next week. Finally collapsed on the couch around 9 to watch Martha and the office and get a snack. I have spent the last hour reading Market Research stuff and can hardly keep my eyes open. Need to get to bed, I have a big day tomorrow...CMA team project kick-off and a conference call with my project coordinator at Whirlpool.

When did it become December?

Wasn't it just August?! So hard for me to think that about 4 months have passed since we moved here and started class. One moment it will seem like it has flown by and another it seems like we have been here forever. Only a few more weeks and we will be done with the core (a day I never thought would come!)

Yesterday was a little hectic, but most days are now. After class I had a quick meeting with the future MBAA VP of Finance to discuss his vision going forward, then I jetted off to Starbucks to meet with the Girl Scouts Council rep for Monroe County to discuss volunteer opportunities here. Then we were back to the house where I finally could get lunch (at 3pm) and catch up on some emails and classwork. At 5ish we headed back to campus for Charlton's slam session and went to the 1st accounting review before the final. And finally at 8 we went out to Yogi's to celebrate our friends birthday with nachos and cupcakes.
