Life's Good

The semester is winding down, Thanksgiving is next week, and I've registered for my final classes.  Final classes for now.  Someday I may get my PhD.  Who knows.  Everything is pretty good right now.  I'm busy, but I don't feel stressed or overextended.  I know this time last year the MBA students were really concerned about jobs.  I feel like the economy is recovering and most, if not all, of our class should have offers prior to graduation.  I know there are still many problems with the economy, but I'm generally an optimistic person.  


As far as plans for this week and the coming weekend, I'll be going to the Chris Gardner (The Pursuit of Happiness) Thursday evening and probably headed to Fort Smith this weekend.  I've got to get everything together for Thanksgiving.  I usually cook so I need to figure out what dishes will be on the menu this year.  I like to get a little creative with this.  I will post some pics of course. 


I suppose I should start working on my Econ papers.  So until next time keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

Catching Up

So this past week has been a little hectic, but I'm catching up.  We had an accounting test on Wednesday.  I think that went pretty well.  We also had to submit our HR Plan presentations for Leadership.  I've been scrambling of late trying to get all the loose ends tied up for our Entrepreneurship product.  Hopefully we can finalize that soon.

So what's left to do?  As mentioned before, we need to start putting together a business plan for our Entrepreneurship project.  We'll be competing in a couple weeks with other teams in our class for an extra $1,000 in travel money.  We'll need that to go to various competitions.  I have a couple papers to do for Econ, which shouldn't be too bad.  I really enjoy that class (Emerging Markets) so I don't mind the papers so much.  We have a presentation next Monday for Leadership, that would be our HR Plan presentation.  Our final test for Consumer Research is coming up in a couple weeks too.  We also have to disseminate a survey and analyze the resulting data and then present it.  I think that's about all I have left to do for this semester, besides finals.

Overall, this semester has been pretty good so far.  It seems like this semester was much simpler than last Spring.  I think this is because I wasn't used to the whole school thing yet.  It takes a lil bit to get re-acclimated with the whole going to class, homework, and studying process.  Now that I'm back in the groove of things it's time to readjust.  I have a couple classes in the Spring and then it'll be back to work.  I like change though.  It keeps life interesting.

A Week Behind

So this post is about a week behind, but better late than never right?  So last weekend was Halloween.  It was a good weekend.  The festivities started at work on Friday.  This is how the Walmart Home Office does trick-or-treating.

Then we had a pumpkin carving get together Friday night.

 

Saturday night we went to a Halloween party.

And that was pretty much that weekend.  Good times.
