I'm Still Working on It...


So this week…two super awesome things: 1) we filed as an LLC. I am officially CEO of Boston Mountain Biotech[1]; and 2) I chopped my hair. The first is a really big deal and the second…not so much, but only because I do that every couple of years. (No really, I’m one of those girls who’s always growing her out, wearing it long for 6-12 months and then chopping it off and starting the process all over again.) I’ve included a picture of my hair but not of the filing b/c we did it while sitting around my kitchen table eating pizza. We’ll pull a reality TV and restage it at a later date when everyone looks more official.
Anyway, other sundry items[2]:
-The partnership with the women’s shelter is going well. We had two meetings this week to discuss ideas for 1) helping them on the long-range financial planning side—basically we are going to use our “expertise” to help interview and vet financial planners for them; and 2) planning some sort of fundraiser and how to provide some marketing “expertise” for their thrift store. [3]
- Almost done with classes. This next week of classes is going to be long—2 tests, 2 assignments, 1 paper and 1 presentation—but after that it’s all downhill.
-Speaking of winter break have you seen the reading list? I need suggestions. 
-I learned an important lesson this week: Be careful when watching the most recent season (6) of Doctor Who…because those episodes have some creepy aliens! I was home alone after 5 pm, so every light in the house was on and I had to do checks of the house.
-I only have three classes next semester. (Granted, I have business plan competitions and job-hunting, but let’s focus on the positive.)
-I need to karaoke. That’ll be happening in the next month or so.

Alright, well I had a really good analogy for the analogy of the week, but then I forgot it—probably to make space for something important—so I’ll try to get you two next week. Or I’ll just dispense with the whole “analogy of the week” bit, either way.


[1] Yep kiddos, I’m CEO.  Make of it what you will.
[2] I didn’t feel the earthquakes, so they don’t make the list.
[3] “Expertise” is in quotes because, well, I can and that’s really  all I’ve got.
