Has it
been a week?[1]
Anyway, I’ve been busy applying for jobs and going to class. I’ve applied to a
couple of sales analyst positions in the area, associate spots at a couple of
management consulting firms[2]
and the MBA-specific programs at Sony and L’Oréal. There’s an internship in
Dublin this summer that I’m considering applying. It seems like a great
opportunity but, to be honest, I worry a little about how expensive it will be
to live there. The application is due this week, though, so I have to decide
fast!
Classes
have been good. We’re doing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) simulation in
my Enterprise Resource class and the software reminds me so much of how
software used to look back in the day.[3]
Still, the simulation is a good, interactive way to get experience with ERP.
(Not that I would necessarily want to do ERP, but you get me.) This coming week
I’ve got a bunch of meetings to bring the new students in on Graduate Women in
Business and the Women’s Shelter project. I’m really trying to get something
accomplished with both of these but I’m getting a little stressed about running
out of time.
On the
good news front: 1) I found my old copy of Age of the Empires II, so I’ve been
nerding out on that; and 2) I’m going to be working this semester for the
Business Librarian and will hopefully get to make book-forts.[4]
Until next week!
[1] It
must be. I’m watching a new Project Runway as we speak.
[3] My
parents had a computer at home when I was little (think pre-school) that they
got to do taxes. It ran Dos and used actual floppy disks.

Exactly what it sounds like. Preferably
you get someone else to build one near you and can throw wads of paper at each
other. Maybe play some bombastic symphonies while you’re at it.
