Boo

Sigh... we lost our IM football game tonight. We always have this tendency to lose in the quarterfinals. I'm pretty upset right now buuuuuut life goes on after IM football haha!

So career prep week is next week but the only one I'm really interested in is Sports and Entertainment on Monday. But, that's also when UBC is having their DINE event where you get to sing with some professors. I don't know which one I'll end up going to but i think karaoke has an edge for now :D

Registration is coming up...I get to register next monday since i'm still a sophomore standing (man!). I know i have to take BA 324 and MKT 337. Other than that it'll just depend on what's open or not

Ugh I have two tests coming up for next week....time to start preparing!

Oh and Happy Halloween! I'm not planning on doing anything...maybe just sit around and eat chocolate :P

Time flies

Wow another week has already passed! Where does the time go...

Fefu and Her Friends was really interesting. There was a part in it where they split up the audience in 4 and took us around the theatre building to different sets. I'm still a little confused about the ending but the production itself did a really good job :)

Today our team won our first IM football playoff game! I scored a touchdown :D ...The weather is getting really cold at night. I couldn't really feel my hands but we still pulled it off 25-0. Come support us! We're Crossroadz in baby blue shirts.

Saw 4 is coming out tomorrow! I'm so excited! I really like how smart these Saw movies are...makes you really think haha

So my classes have been going alright. We just had a case study in MIS that was pretty interesting. We're also working on a group project in accounting that deals with real life companies and their financial options. But no tests till next next week so I should be pretty happy till then :)

Another UT football game this Saturday! The weather's going to be perfect...I can't wait :)

me and my roomie at a football game:

it's starting to look a lot like halloween

Shack-a-thon went on this past week! I'm sad I couldn't really participate much but I did get to catch the Ransom Notes performance and they were awesome! I feel like our school emphasizes so much on sports that we forget about the fine arts. I'm going to go watch the theatre's play today so I'm excited about that...and I should go to the Symphony orchestra's concert since I used to be in orchestra in high school :P

So halloween is coming around the corner and I don't know what I want to be! Any suggestions? I really want to go to a haunted house. I've never been but I really like scary movies so i figure i'd like haunted houses as well. :D

American Marketing Association is having a professor preview for the marketing classes next tuesday and I think this idea is brilliant! Basically the marketing professors come and introduce themselves and you get a feel for how they teach...kind of like pick-a-prof but in person. Unfortunately I don't think i can go but it's a great idea.

In other news...my sister is coming to visit next weekend!! if yall didn't know, she graduated from mccombs last year with a marketing major and works in Los Angeles now. It's going to be fun seeing her again!

Ok well I gotta go catch Fefu and Her Friends at the Oscar Brockett Theatre!

it's good to be back

I feel like I always gain 5 pounds when i go back home. So much food in such little time! Gregory is a must this week...

So we got our Accounting tests back. Our class average was a 67... Not so good. I'm happy to say that I passed but I should've done a lot better. I'm sure my whole class could've done a lot better =/

I can't believe registration is coming up again!! This semester is flying by already...
I have to take BA 324...and I'd like to finish off my natural science and take BIO 301L. Then I should probably take MKT 337...since I am a marketing major and I'll probably top it off with either MAN/LEB/IB. I'll also probably take another distance learning class from ACC and finish off my history classes.

There's nothing much happening this week for me. I love these kinds of weeks.

Random picture for the day: Half-wet elephant



Hahaha!

test free!

No more tests till November! Yes!

So my accounting test was 3 hours long and I felt like I was going to explode at the end of it. I didn't think it was too bad...but I forgot how to do one of the free response. Oops. The english test wasn't that bad either but there was a lot of writing needed to be done in that one class period. Now since all that is over, I get to catch up on my sleep :D

It's my dad's birthday weekend and I'm going home! It'll be my first time going back to Dallas since the summer and I'm excited to go back and just do nothing. It'll be a nice break.

I love how the weather is starting to get cooler! Can't wait till the highs are in the 70's... till then, it's still shorts and a tshirt for me.

i need an energy drink

Every 10 minutes or so I find my eyes getting extremely heavy. I'm at Reliant right now trying to study for my accounting test tomorrow and my sleepiness is starting to take over...so i decided to update my blog to keep myself awake....

The UTLA info session was pretty good. I basically knew everything about it b/c I've studied their website since a year ago...but I'm pretty convinced that I want to participate in it now. I'm probably going to go my second semester of Junior year. Hopefully I can get another internship the summer after in LA so i could just stay there a lil longer. :D

So after registering for my ACC class...I might drop it. I looked at the syllabus and the workload is not very pretty. There's like a test almost every week, and to get an A you have to write this extensive research paper. It doesn't really matter what I get in the class but I'd still like an A. It is my fault for signing up so late and having to take the 8-week session. Maybe I should just wait for the start of second semester and enroll in the 16-week session and take my time with it...

Well I guess I should go back to studying. I have accounting on monday and world lit on tuesday. Fun stuff.

what a day...

First and foremost...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRELLE!

So today turned out to be quite interesting. Since I'm such a morning person, I woke up at 4 to study for my first test in MIS and it went alright. I thought there were only 2 essay parts but then there were 3. I was starting to run out of time and my hand started cramping from scribbling my last thoughts. Sigh. Next time I'll be more prepared and actually start the test with the essays...

I then found out that my concurrent enrollment petition got approved today so I applied to take more classes at ACC since my schedule's been smooth so far. Might as well get some credits out of the way right?

Well, then I found out there's this internship opportunity. My semester has just gotten 10X more interesting. From taking 4 classes to adding more classes and possibly working. Of course this internship may never happen but it'd turn a lot of things around if I did get it. Maybe then I'll watch less tv :P

Tomorrow I'm going to a UTLA meeting hosted by its director. I totally miss LA and would love to go back and intern with some entertainment company and potentially get an offer...that would be the dream haha. I'll update more on that meeting later.

On Tuesday, our Acting class had site specific performances and they were awesome! all the groups did a great job and I had really fun making them. this class is really pushing my limits and improving my performance. Not that I'm looking to be an actress or anything professional like that, but it's still really cool to see how much you've grown in just a month.

Oh and OU weekend is coming up. I hope we don't lose by too much :(

Sorry if this entry seems scattered, it's been a long day.

Before I go back to reading Dante's Inferno for world lit, here's some peaceful music for you guys studying out there...(this guy is awesome!)

YES!

So the Spice Girls are having their world reunion tour and they randomly selected people for each city to get presale tickets..and guess who got it?? ME! They're coming to LA Dec. 7th and I bought tickets on the spur of the moment. A very pricey decision in which I should soon tell my parents about. hahah. But I'm hoping I can fly for that weekend...the only problem would be that it's right before finals but I'd force myself to study beforehand. I'm excited!

I have my first test of the semester on wednesday! It's for MIS and I'm hoping it won't be too bad. I'm more worried for my tests in accounting and english next week though.

I think I'm going to buy a night parking permit. It's hard for me to keep going back and forth on campus...especially at night it's kind of scary walking alone.
