Another weekend, another new restaurant (we have been trying to experience B-Town when we can!)

We woke up leisurely, Charlton having a rougher go of it than me, as he was really sore from the game last night. Breakfast was cereal on the couch catching up with Top Chef and Project Runway. Then we attempted to get some studying done while watching IU lose to Michigan. After all the distractions were gone we finally got some hard core studying in. I only was able to finish reading for Econ as we had a ton of reading assigned for one class session.

We then set out for some basic shopping and to get our flu shots. It was a bust on the shots as they had packed up for the day but we got all of our shopping done and then met our friend up for dinner at the Bakehouse. I had heard great things about it and it did not disappoint. I got their creamy tomato basil soup and Charlton got their BBQ sandwich combo with fries and cole slaw while our friend tackled their all-you-can eat BBQ sandwich meal (he got down 6!) Was a cool little place and conveniently they have one near our house, so we wont have to go all the way into the square. I still need to try their famed granola but we still have plenty of time.

Once back at the house was time for me to tackle some critical thinking. Feel like I hardly got anything done so far this weekend. Going to have to power through tomorrow though!

I wish it were that easy! Today was another fun filled day of Critical Thinking, Quant and Accounting. Accounting was a phenomenal session, CSI Accountants as Pratt called it, where we had to work backward to get the transactions. I left actually feeling like I understood what we were talking about. We will see if I retained any of it when I lead the team’s study session/weekly recap tomorrow.

Although the day wasn’t coming up all roses: lunch was cancelled with a classmate who used to work in a buyer role at Mervyn’s and then we got blown off by one of the companies that was on campus for office hours.

We came home and got some work done, watched a little tv to unwind and then I gave up on the notion of going to the networking event tonight as there are 2 more nights scheduled for the week and companies I am more interested in later. Also I had another phone interview that I needed to be home for. It went well, and once again I am so pumped at the prospect of potentially working there.

Then I switched from my networking hat to my Admissions Consultant position and reviewed one of my friend’s admission essays. She is doing so well, I am so excited for her. She is looking at IU and I would love if she came, I will keep my fingers crossed.

UPS brought me the suit I got on ebay and I am pretty happy with it. I have some tweaking that needs to be done to the pants but the jacket fits beautifully. Can’t wait to wear it out!

Alright I need to hit the hay, big big day tomorrow!
