Weekend, What Weekend?!

Alarm went off on Saturday morning, a little later than a normal day here but early nonetheless. I tried to get a little reading done and then got the house cleaned up and breakfast out for our second Top Chef Breakfast Club. Played it a little lower key with some muffins (I made from a mix), fruit and yogurt. Was still a blast and was great to have everyone over, not sure how much longer we will be able to keep this up.

Then we powered through a good 7 hours of studying. When both of our eyes were crossed we closed the books and headed to a friend’s house for some home cooked japanese. It was absolutely delicious and was such a treat. After some homemade zucchini bread for dessert we waddled home. There it was more studying, I promised not to go to bed until I finished everything for finance. at midnight, I finally had finished and we capped off the night with an episode of Mad Men before heading to bed.

My alarm went off at the weekend time, and I was in no position to get up. I had a massive headache from the lack of sleep and I finally got sore from all the physical activity on Friday. I convinced Charlton to take the dog out and slept for a few more hours. Once up, breakfast and homework. Then lunch and homework. At about 1 I got all cleaned up for my academy interview with the director of the Consumer Marketing Academy. I think it went well, I should find out if i got it in a few more weeks. Then it was off to target to get some much needed school supplies and more Lean Cuisines for the week. Then home for lots of lots of econ.

We took a dinner break at Cheeseburgers in Paradise since Charlton had gotten a coupon. Nice to have a sit-down dinner for about $10. Then it was back to the grind of more schoolwork.

I just finished everything for tomorrow. Now I can get a jump on Tuesday & Weds’ HW. Got to get ahead as much as I can this week with as many meetings and activities that are planned.

**Also booked my hotel, flight and disneyland ticket for the NAWMBA conference. Happiest place on earth, here I come (with my suit)!

1 week down, 15 more to go!

So after 4 hours of class, I have officially finished my first week of business school. There were times when I didn’t think I would keep up but I have been able to survive.

I did sort of shut down once I got home though, I did read for critical thinking for next week but I didn’t email my contacts back like I should have. Was just done for a bit.

At about 5:30 we headed back to school for Kelley field day. We were divided up among our cohorts and competed against each other in various physical challenges, like water balloon tosses, tug of war, 3 legged races, dizzy bat relay races, water balloon volleyball and to cap it off a car pull. I got to compete in every event and my team mate and I got second for the female teams in the car pull. The green cohort didn’t win overall, oh well, hopefully we will be able to redeem ourselves later in the semester.

After we finished up at Kelley we headed over to the soccer field to watch IU go against St. Johns. They ended up tied but it was fun to just unwind.

Going to have to head to bed soon, we are having our friends over again tomorrow morning for the second installment of the Top Chef breakfast club.
