I had Marketing yesterday. It was entirely new to me and pretty cool. The Professor was very excited about his material which I believe I covered yesterday. Anyway, we formed groups during the break and have our homework for next week already underway. We’re learning…
I then head over to the bank to deposit the check I picked up yesterday, and to exchange a book at the bookstore. I bought a coursepack(AKA photocopies of articles bound) for $130. So I’m almost convinced I should start a coursepack company. Oh well, gotta graduate first. Then back to Hyde Park Center (HPC) for an email check and to work on this blog.
I swear I checked my email in the morning and by 2pm I had 33 mesaages. This is ridiculous. I wasn’t this important when I had a job! Anyway, there were messages for a couple more events to go to and a couple requests for electronic resumes. I got a message from the Student Ambassadors that I got CSFB, my first choice. Thank you! So I get to meet the recruiter before the presentation and finish up after it is over. That’s right it comes down to more face time. I shot out a message to introduce myself, etc. An hour later I started working on my blog. I then got caught up in a conversation with a couple of ladies from the staff. I personally think these are the most important people to know.
I stuck around for the Student Activities Fair in the evening. It was another glutton fest (Liquidity Preference Function) with a purpose. Every club wants to claim as many of the first years as possible for their club, before you recognize that you won’t be able to manage sixteen clubs and you’ve already paid the $60/each to join. It’s brilliant. They butter you up with hamburgers and beer and everything sounds good to you. I hung with the second years that have a much more jaded opinion of the options for Activities. Many of them joined quite a few clubs, only to realize their folly too late.
Let’s see. I have eleven company presentations to attend next week. I also have a case to prepare for LEAD, problems to prepare for Accounting, a case to prepare for Marketing, and some problems and a case to prepare fro Microeconomics. I am in desperate need of doing the laundry and the dishes. I also will be at the first social event for the African American MBA Association (AAMBAA) Saturday night and a Barbeque thrown by BCG on Sunday. Somehow I will get through this. I most definitely need to get started.
