Only 1 Exam!

Yes sir, you read it right. I aced my marketing test so I don't need to take the optional final for it! YESSSSSS. So that means I only have one exam which is in Spanish. I think my professor said it's on the 7th so i'll be done after next Wednesday!

I did end up getting Kanye tickets for my sister and me! Pretty good seat locations too. I'm especially excited because Rihanna is opening up. "You can stand under my umbrella...ella..."

Speaking of umbrellas, what's up with random hail storms?!? I woke up Sunday morning to the thuds on my window. But it did bring a nice cool front today. :)

For CIBER, I still don't know where I'm going or what I'm doing!! It's driving me crazy! But our group is planning to meet on Saturday, and I am definitely going to be buying a bunch of train/plane tickets and hostels this weekend. I can't believe there's only like 20 days before we leave for Europe. This is going to be a crazy summer session. For the second half of summer, I think I'm going to take HIST 1302 at ACC at 9:05 AM and then come to campus at 11:30 to take FIN 357. I was going to take 2 classes at ACC but I think 3 classes overall in one session is a bit overwhelming. I'm probably going to end up taking TX Govt through distance learning in the fall. Other than that, I'm planning on tanning and exercising (especially after coming from Paris) everyday at Gregory.

In other study abroad news, I got my International Student ID card today at STA Travel. I usually don't like how I end up looking on ID cards, but this one turned out alright! Haha, actually I look really young in it... like around 10th grade young.

So I realized I haven't posted up music on here in awhile so I'll leave you with Panic! at the Disco - That Green Gentlemen

No way Jose

My sister is coming to Austin next week to go to the Kanye West concert!! Now I just need to get tickets off of Craigslist haha.

So I was bordering between an A and a B in BA 324, but now I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the B. I don't think she's very happy with our final report even though we spent a lot of time working on it. We even got it edited by the Undergraduate Writing Center!! But it's ok. I'm starting to view life past the GPA. I mean it's good to strive for a high GPA, but there is so much more to life (and getting a job). I know this might sound obvious, but I think we often get trapped in that mindset (especially us business kids).

Anyways, I missed new episodes of Ugly Betty and The Office tonight because a couple of my friends were performing at Korean Culture Night. Thank goodness they put full episodes online :).

Random video: This baby is soooo cute.

Jabbawockeez?... Nahhhh





So these pictures make us look a lot cooler than we are. :P
We had a hiphop/pantomime performance at our Xroadz talent show. It was really fun, but I'm so ready to sleep!

My school schedule this year has been quite easy, but man is Spanish a lot of work! I have a 20 page homework and a 3 page report due tomorrow. He also assigned us a group project due next week too! Ahhhh so much busy work!

My last marketing test is also next Monday and I haven't read any of the chapters because of the talent show. I need to get an 88 to be exempt from taking the final so I'm going to be really studious this week.

For CIBER, our group is having trouble figuring out what cities to visit before actually going to Paris. Since we are landing in London, my idea was to fly to Italy after staying a couple of days in England. Then we could get a 3 country Eurail pass and visit all around Italy, Switzerland, and South France. I really want to travel to Prague, but there aren't many cheap options to getting there. Although I'm excited to study abroad, it's getting a little bit stressful right now. Hopefully we'll be able to find decent hostels too. :/

So the ACL 08 Lineup came out and I'm thinking of going with a group of friends this time around. Even though I don't really know many of the bands, it'll still be interesting to find new music and suffer heat strokes with your good friends. Check out the lineup: http://www.aclfestival.com/lineup.aspx

Well there's only 2 weeks of classes left, so good luck everyone with their last tests/finals!

Here's a clip of the first part of our dance that I've uploaded on YouTube (I'm in the middle)...if you want to see the rest, just go my YouTube page later tonight:

who has the worst luck with rose?

i do!

2 registered classes.
5 waitlists.

The good thing is that I'm running out of business classes to take...so technically I can just take random electives.

Medical terminology anyone?

Low batteries

Only 3 weeks of class left and I am running low on energy. I've been doing a lot of work for my campus ministry, Crossroadz. We have a talent show on Saturday at FAC and I've been consumed with that for the past few weeks. I don't even have time to do much schoolwork for now. Sigh. Must go read govt for my test tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Another Round of Registration

Registration is around the corner and I think I've figured out what I want to take next semester:

LEB 323
IB 350
MAN 336
BIO 301M

I might switch MAN with OM but we'll see...

For the summer, I want to take a class at UT because I want access to Gregory (I know I know). So I'm thinking of taking FIN 357 for the second summer session after I get back from Paris.

Speaking of Paris, I had a CIBER orientation and I am getting a little worried. There's so much info to worry about with all our travel plans and little things like converters and laptops. All I know right now is that a group of us are flying into London but we don't know where we're staying or how we're actually going to get to France. Oh and it doesn't help that I don't know a lick of French. This is going to be such an interesting experience haha.

My friend introduced me to this guy, but he is crazy!! The next Timbaland maybe?

Kirby's Razorleaf Dream Team




Yup. That was our ridiculously long name for our girl's football team. We played tackle football today and our team won!! The game was pretty intense and adrenaline was all over the place. It was fun meeting new girls and help raising $3000 for our charity!! Only down side...my good friend broke her collar bone during one of the plays. She'll be alright though...she's a trooper. :)

So this tackle football has done a lot to my body. I wake up all sore with random bruises, and I never knew you could sprain your palm. Haha I really want to go get a spa treatment next weekend. That would be perfect.

This week... I must catch up on marketing!!

On a random note, I've been watching the 4th season of The Office online and it's hilarious! I'm so upset that I didn't start watching this show earlier. I love John and Jenna's humor on the show...now I just need to find the first 3 seasons.

0-2

Well at least I'm getting better at case comp haha. I thought my team did pretty well considering the fact that we've never worked with each other before (except for brian and me) and that we didn't really have our solution till the last night. The judges really liked our information and our approach, but an all-nighter did not help us with our presentation skills. Competing in two case comps, I feel like I know a lot more about how to win one in the future. For now, I'm going to take a year break. I don't think I can handle any more cases for awhile.

In other news, I made a 95 on my Spanish test because I forgot to correct the False questions in the T/F section. UGH. What a waste of points. At least the whole class didn't do it too!!

SHOWDOWN 2008 is this Sunday!!!
Girls playing tackle football for charity! It's going to be awesome...Come support the other girls and myself! I'm playing tight-end ;)
1:00 PM @ Laycee Field (Zilker Park)

I'm sad that America's Best Dance Crew is over. What an addicting show. But I found one of the lead dancers from Kaba Modern freestyling on YouTube. How awesome.
