Well,
another week down kiddos. I started my new internship at the library and I
think I’m going to enjoy it. It looks like a lot of putting together resources
for business students and analyzing how much current resources are used.
Mainly, though, everybody at the library seems really cool and it’s going to be
nice place to work.
I also
got work back rolling on our partnership with the women’s shelter. We’re
finishing up our deliverable for the finance team and starting work on a
fundraiser for the shelter. Graduate Women in Business is back, too. This
semester we’re just concentrating on bringing some speakers and recruiting a
new group of women for next year. GWIB’s been a real test of trying to find
what works.
Anyway,
here’s a rundown for this week:
1)
We’ve got the big ERP simulation competition this week. My team has been trying
to work out our sale strategy, but, honestly, once the simulation gets going
everything gets crazy.
2)
Grant writing’s first assignment is due—60 pages of reading and a couple pages
of writing. This is the easy one.
3)
Dina Howell is coming to speak on Thursday. It’s a lunch and learn, hopefully
we’ll have Qdoba…(They always get Qdoba for the big speakers.)
4)
I’ve been re-watching Ugly Betty. The US version and I found the original
Columbian version, Yo Soy Betty, la fea, subtitled in Spanish[1]
online. I’d forgotten how awkward the comedy was on these shows. It’s almost
unbearable sometimes. (I have the same trouble with 30 Rock. I thinks it's because I do the same things as Liz and Betty sometimes.)
5)
I get to go to Chicago on the 28th and 29th to visit
United Airlines headquarters and Saatchi & Saatchi offices. Hopefully, the
unusually warm weather persists.
That’s
it for this week! I should get more exciting…eventually!
[1] I
can read and speak Spanish, but my hearing skills have gone rusty on me. Plus
the subtitles help me learn the accents faster.
