I'm Back

Wow, it's been a long time.  I apologize for my absence.  The past few weeks have been kinda crazy.  I'll start with a quick run down of what I can recall.

Chris Gardner (The Pursuit of Happiness) was great.  I thoroughly enjoyed and found him very inspiring.  He literally struggled through homelessness to get to success.  I would say he took the path less traveled.  I'm not sure I would take his path, but his experience shows that hard work and determination go a long way.

After that nice event, it seemed like a pile of work buried me.  I had two papers due for ECON this past Monday, an Accounting project also due on Monday, a Leadership final also on Monday, and a Consumer Research presentation today (Tuesday).  On top of that we had to scramble to put together a business plan for an idea that we have only had for about two and a half weeks.  We had a business plan competition this past Sunday for $1,000 in travel funds and the good news is we won.  I've embedded our presentation lead-in video below.





I finally have a little breathing room.  I have an Accounting final on Saturday and an Econ final on Monday.  I also have a Consumer Research paper due Friday and a business plan critique due on Monday.  That's plenty to keep me busy, but not buried.

Aside from school, I also need to get some Christmas shopping done.  This may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it's also the most busy.

In other news, the Razorback football team is going to the Sugar Bowl, this is their first ever BCS appearance.  They'll be playing the Ohio State Buckeyes.  Here's a question for you, How do you smash an Ohio State Buckeye?  With a Mallett.  I know that was a bit corny, I blame it on lack of sleep.

I'm going to relax now for a little bit before I start studying again.  Hopefully it won't be too long til my next post.
