I am sitting in the Investment Management Group’s Stock Pitching Boot Camp. I am not at all confident that I am even interested in this, but my schizophrenic approach requires me to attend several events that I don’t necessarily find interesting. This week, I’ve attended two consulting lunches, a consulting reception, two investment banking receptions, and the corporate forum which was mostly made up of companies looking for finance in a company and/or marketing. I’m all over the place. Not much is actually interesting me, so I’m joining yet another club: Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Group. I’m up to seven (which is masochistic), but I think we may have a winner here!
We are finally having our first African-American MBA Association (AAMBAA) meeting next week. Impatient as I am, I want to get involved and start working on events. I’m getting various perspectives on the first-years’ experience, and I’m curious as to what we can do to improve the organization. I’ll give a full update when I know what’s going on.
I’ve got two marketing cases to read through, Accounting problems to complete, and a micro assignment to start for a study group. I also need to wash my “business casual” clothes as they seem to be required at everything and I am running low. I am also making enchiladas for a potluck dinner with my Squad (from LEAD) and I also need to file the ridiculous amount of company and/or Career Services propaganda I was handed this week. I’ve finally organized my business contact list so that I can search by company. This will be handy when I need to look at names before a presentation or dinner.
It would be nice to actually see my apartment once in a while! I must admit though that I am much happier when I am busy. The GSB has made me very happy!!
