Happy Thanksgiving!

It's finally that time of year! Time to go home and eat up on some yummy grub. I think my favorite is the yams.

The only bad part about this break is that I have a IB test and a MAN paper due the Monday I come back. I guess that's what we get for having Thanksgiving so close to the last week of classes. Oh and after that I have 4 finals. I've never had more than 2 finals so far, so I'm not sure what to expect during dead week. I should probably start studying when I get back to Dallas tonight.

I'm still stressing about internships. It's really sad to worry so much but what can you do? I'm going to LA in like 6 weeks! AHHHHHHHH. Someone give me a job!!

So for Black Friday, I'm thinking of buying an external hard drive to back up everything from my laptop. The only problem is that I don't really feel like waking up at 5 AM or whatever to go get it. I know I'm getting too old for this.

Well I hope everyone has a safe and warm Thanksgiving! Hopefully UT will hang in the BCS rankings as well! Cheers!

MMMM SMOOTHIES!

Free smoothies and lattes!! I'm really jealous that I don't have my internship offer yet. But if you do already (or job offer), go get your free drinks by filling out a survey. Tomorrow is free smoothies at the BBA Career Services office between 11-1PM. They'll also be doing it Dec 2nd and 3rd! Hopefully I'll get an offer by then. :P

I'm in the Mil lab working on my MAN 336 group project. I've made an intro video for our project (which I'll post up later). But til then...new music from Paramore!

Crunch week

The last full week before Thanksgiving is always a hectic one. Lots and lots of homework and events crammed into this week. Case competition didn't go as we expected. It's always a bummer when the judges say "Your presentation was awesome!" but we end up getting poor results. I think I'm going to retire from case competitions now. I really miss sleep.

I have another phone interview this Thursday. I can't wait to hear back from the last two. Hopefully I'll end up getting one offer so that I can stop worrying about LA.

Sorry this entry is short. I have a MAN test tomorrow and I'm about halfway done studying.

BUT, new Harry Potter trailer! Yes!

Can I do that again?

So this week I got replies from 3 companies who scheduled phone interviews with me. I just had one today and I want to re-do it. It's not that I did badly on it, I was just really nervous. I feel like phone interviews are harder than face-to-face interviews just because everything is based on your articulation and voice. Hopefully, I'll be alright though. I have another one tomorrow so maybe I'll be less nervous for that one.

Oh and I entered into ABSA's Case Competition. The decision was really last minute as we entered at the actual kick-off. So we're probably going to pull an all-nighter tonight since most of us don't have Friday classes. If you don't know what case competition is, basically your group receives a problem/situation and you have to create a solution. Most of the cases have been marketing related but you can use all aspects of business to find your answer. It's really competitive but also a lot of fun since you get to actually apply your business knowledge to real-life cases.

Ok, time to go ace my biology test.

A Glorious Monday

We finally did it!! Our IM football team won the championships yesterday in Coed B Silver!! It's awesome that we won shirts and that our picture will be forever immortalized in Gregory!

Also, my birthday was this past weekend and it couldn't have been any better. I got to hang out with all of my friends pretty much the whole weekend. After so much birthday festivities and football games, I'm a little bit physically tired. But I have a Bio test on Thursday so I have to shift gears for that starting today.

My internship search is getting wearisome. It's been hard getting in contact with a lot of these people. I've been calling around Human Resources and emailing everyone but it's getting harder to receive a reply. Sigh I guess all I can do is keep trying!

Oh and I've also been reading Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. It's pretty good so far but I need to finish it before the movie adaptation comes out in a couple of weeks.

Oh nooooo

My camera just got broken this weekend. The lens won't focus right after I dropped it on Halloween. My car also got hit today while it was parked on the street. Luckily the person left me their number, but he's kind of shady as to not wanting to give me his info...sigh. At least my birthday is coming up this week. Yet now I have to go figure out what to do with my car before then.

I am finally going to work hardcore on those internships!!!! I'm going to BA 101 tomorrow at 8 AM (I know right) to make some announcements and afterwards I'm going to send at least 5 applications!! I'm determined. If I don't, I'll post up the most embarrassing picture of me here next time :P. I'm only doing 5 because I need to go to an auto repair shop to get an estimate on the damages to my car. Poor baby.

I had my second IB 350 test today! I thought it went better than the first but who knows. I always end up having two possible choices to choose from...tricky tricky. I don't have another test till next Thursday so I will definitely finish all my internship search this week.

I also realized that I have 3 film projects right now. I love filming/editing, but this is a bit much. First, I'm in the McComb's Next Top Major competition and we need to film that before the semester is over. I'm also doing a film presentation for my big MAN 336 project that's due in a couple of weeks. I'm also shooting a promo video for my campus ministry, Crossroads.

Speaking of Crossroads, we just made the semifinals for IM Football!! This is huge for us, considering that we are playing in the Coed B bracket! We've never made it this far (in my college career) in Coed C league. Our next game is Thursday!

Probably the best halloween episode The Office has put on:

It's November!!

Yay my birthday is coming up next Friday!! I'll finally be 21! I was hoping it'd be pretty cool by then, but the heat seems to be sticking around for another couple of weeks.

How was your halloween? I ended going downtown to see everyone's costumes but it was so packed! I've never seen so many people on one street since the World Cup in South Korea. I'm glad I made it out of there alive! Next year will probably be just as crazy since it's going to land on a Saturday.

Tomorrow is Day Lights Savings...so one extra hour!
