Last Official Blog of the Semester

Hey guys! It's been another fun semester blogging for the bschool. I hope you guys got something out of reading it :).

I'm completely stoked about finishing my exams! One of my roommates already had all 4 of her exams before I even started on 1. I've been studying pretty well for mine though so hopefully it'll translate through my scores.

After finals, I'm going to Colorado with a few of my friends to go snowboarding! I haven't been in like 5 years so I'm pumped for it! It's going to be really painful, but I'm sure it'll be relaxing at the same time.

After skiing, my sister is coming home to celebrate Christmas! I actually need to finish my Christmas shopping for my family before I leave for Colorado. That's always the hardest part of winter break. :P

Then, I need to shoot my McComb's Next Top Major video with my group, which will be another couple of days.

Fast forward...it's New Years! and then I leave for LA on the 2nd! Crazy!

My winter break is already planned out for me! Well, hopefully in between those days I'll be able to read a lot of my books that I've got and watch some DVDs.

And the good part is... I'll still be blogging next semester! Yes, I'll be reporting from Los Angeles with all my news on the internships and what it's like being a student away from home (Fall registration will be fun :P). So keep up with me while I'm gone! (I'll probably also update during winter as well).

Good luck with finals and have a great winter break!!

PS. I hope yall have been getting better sleep than this guy...

Time is Running Out

I've been sleeping really poorly for this past week and I think the tiredness is catching up to me. I ended getting a decent score on my IB exam, so now I'm going to take the optional final to try to raise up my grade. So my total for this semester is 4 exams! I've never had so much so I guess we'll see how much more sleep I'll get this week. I end on next Tuesday, so I'll still be in Austin for awhile.

So onto LA news...it ends up that I can do both internships! I'm excited that I'll be getting as much experience as I can. Since they both count towards my COM internship credit, I'll still have my MKT internship credit for the summer. Hopefully I'll be able to find one in LA so I don't have to travel around again (my sister is there). I'm totally pumped up for LA now that I have a job. :)

For this past month, I totally forgot about McComb's Next Top Major film competition. Since I'm leaving for LA, our group has to finish the bulk of the movie by January. Luckily, we all live in Dallas so we'll be working on that for the break. It should be pretty fun to shoot so hopefully it won't feel like homework.

Time to study for OM! G'luck with your exams.

Muse for today:

EXCLAMATION POINT

I GOT TWO INTERNSHIP OFFERS IN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES! I REALLY WANTED THESE TWO AND I THINK I CAN DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

Ok sorry I'm a little ecstatic after hearing from no one this whole time. One of the companies is a film production company and the other is a TV show. I really hope I can end up doing both because I don't know how to decide between the two. But at least this is a good problem to have!

PS. I thought Twilight was an OK movie compared to the books...but the soundtrack is some good stuff:

MuteMath - Spotlight

Last week of classes!

I can't believe it's already over! I'm going to be LA so soon. WOW. My Thanksgiving break was pretty calm. I ended up just reading New Moon and studying for my IB test that's today. Oh and of course wayyy too much food. I think I probably ate half our pumpkin pie throughout the break. Where's Gregory when I need it? I didn't really do much Black Friday shopping. I ended up getting a couple of The Office seasons and Juno! I don't think it's worth staying in lines all night unless I'm getting a TV or something. Maybe next year. :P

I only have one test this week (today) so I need to start hitting the books for finals starting tomorrow. I have 4 finals (maybe 3 depending on IB today). I think I'm going to lock myself up somewhere on campus...Maybe I'll camp out at PCL when it becomes open for 24 hours.

I'm still looking for my internship in LA. I have another phone interview on Wednesday, but I really want to know before finals...that would probably help with my stress level a bit. On the good side, I think I'm getting better at phone interviews. The biggest problem has been finding a secluded area with reception for my cell. My apartment has zero service for T-Mobile so I've been scavenging the business school for empty rooms. I've done it a couple of times in the Ford Career interview suites, but sometimes it's closed when I need it. Anyone know of a good spot?

Hope everyone's been hanging in there. ABSA has Feed Your Mind tonight and tomorrow for free food and goodies. Career Services are still doing Free Smoothies and Free Lattes for surveys on the 2nd and 3rd. Go get 'em!

P.S. BCS sucks.
