I spent Thanksgiving reviewing my Marketing final write up. I didn’t feel like going anywhere for the holiday. The time seemed so short and looked like a great opportunity to get some stuff done that I’ve been procrastinating on. I slept in (8:30 as opposed to 5:30) and quickly found myself at a loss. It was the first time in nearly three months that I didn’t have to be somewhere, meet with someone, or get something done. It was oddly disconcerting! I felt guilty lounging on the couch after eating breakfast and so placated myself by bringing my laptop to the couch and looking at my marketing case while watching movies.
I spent a lot of time catching up on sleep this weekend, and I suspect that people will have restored good humor when we start back on Monday. Saturday, I actually got up and spent time finishing my Christmas shopping (I hate shopping in December!) and writing out my Holiday cards. I could not believe that we have two weeks left in this term. Though I look forward to three weeks off (Oh, My Goodness), I think I may have withdrawal from this new lifestyle.
Next week is looking rough. I’m heading to Cincinnati Monday night for a second interview with a consumer products company and then I’m in New Jersey Thursday and Friday for a Mini Finance Camp with another consumer products company. I will miss my last two classes, and have arranged to attend both a class and a final review session on Saturday at Gleacher. I’m also going to study a little with my mentees on Sunday. So my week is looking packed. My goal is just to stay calm and get through it as I have many other weeks this term. I’m so close to the finish, and I just need to hold it together.
