oh rly

oh goodness, a new blog within a month! land sakes! the world's gone mad!

well...right now i would usually be in class, but i slept very little last night (due to putting together the biggest group project of all time) and i fell asleep while trying to read around 3:30. in my chair. at my desk. i was o-u-t for at least a half an hour...in a chair. so i figured, when i woke up around 4, that i should take a little nap until 5ish, when i was supposed to go to school for class. that didn't happen. i was dead to the world until 6ish when i woke up in a panic because i was supposed to go to class and do discussion questions in class and take a quiz. however, i hadn't read the chapter and wasn't remotely prepared, so i decided to stay home instead. i know, it's bad to skip class, but i figured it would be okay just this once. plus i have two drop quizzes in that class, and this is the first one i've missed. so it's not that terrible.

or maybe i'm just trying to make myself feel better.

anyway, this morning my group turned in this huge strategic investigation on coca cola that we've been working on constantly. it ended up being about 32 pages of explanation on what coke does, where, how, why, when, what they should do, etc. it got tiring quickly, so i'm glad it's over. we also got an a on a case we wrote about stabucks, and i got an a on an individual case analysis! this seems like no big to most people, but my professor is kind of a genius, and he has really high standards. i love my business strategies class...this prof is so smart, it's a little ridiculous. plus, he's entertaining. oh, and he is the former president of three big companies, and the former vp of mastercard. so that class is definitely worth my time.

and...today he gave me a huge compliment. he told me that i am a very good writer, and i'm "obviously a head and shoulder above most other people in my class." this guy isn't the type to dole out compliments like candy, so it meant a lot. i definitely have to step up the game now, because good is never good enough.

in somewhat depressing news, the company that i really want to work for was featured in the newspaper as being a great place to work. so now i feel like i'm going to be pushed out by more "qualified" people. i would live to work for this company, though...they really are amazing and they are exactly what i want to do, marketing and advertising solutions for outside businesses. i'm definitely going to go in soon and hand-submit a resume and cover letter and try to get some face time in. i sent one via email almost a week ago and i haven't heard anything back, so maybe an in-person visit will help the cause.

speaking of causes, i know of some orange juice that's in desperate need of drinking. i feel obliged to help out, because it's a pretty worthy cause.
