In advertising today we were discussing international marketing. We were watching/listening/viewing different advertisements from around the world. I have to say that I found this to be a very interesting topic, but I'…
So today I got a letter from the accounting department. Thinking that it could mean that I was awared a scholarship, I hurriedly ripped it open looking for that first word "Congratulations" that always begins the award …
A few interesting things occurred this Easter at my grandparents' house. First, there was no talking of me getting married soon or having children soon. Though I didn't think about it at the time, it was nice not to ha…
I feel a little better about the econ exam. I can now do most of the calculations without any problem, and I'm comfortable with both the Cobb-Douglass and Leontief production functions. I still haven't gotten the uses …
I have an intermediate micro exam tomorrow over the firm theory. The problem is that it's been 2 weeks since we've had class, and I don't remember anything. I know we worked with things like marginal cost, average cost…
So I had a good post, but the one time i didn't copy a post before I hit submit xanga lost it. BAHHHHH!
I just got back from KC a few hours ago. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. First, Nebraska Furniture Mart is huge. I didn't really find anything in there that I would ever buy because the quality of all …
Ok, so I have to have a job for this summer soon or my summer is going to suck big time. My parents are threatening to make me live with my grandparents this summer in southwest Kansas. That is like a horrible nightmar…
A joke I found funny enough to steal:
A young man named Paul invited his mother for dinner. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how handsome Paul's flatmate was. She had long been suspic…
Today I think I may have finally started to figure out where my unattainably high expectations come from. Growing up no matter what I did I never did it quite well enough to satisfy my parents. It used to make me feel …
Today I went and saw Closer (yes I know it's being released next Monday but it's just now making it to this area) at the Art Cinema, and my parents decided that they wanted to go too. I'm not sure why they wanted to see…
I got an 88 on my management exam. I don't know yet if I'm disappointed or not. I still have a 96 in the class with that grade, and I didn't put much effort into preparing for the exam, but I'm still not used to seeing…
I really need to cut my spending because I am living way beyond my means. I have found that I have started to mirror a lot of my parents' financial behavior and that is not a good path to follow. I need to learn to liv…
I just finished my first accounting for investing and finance exam. 33 questions, and I completed it in 40 minutes. I didn't have to guess on any question so that's good. I'm hoping the management exam goes as well to…
I've been having a lot of time that isn't consumed by school this week, and when I have free time I often think. I've been thinking about the time since I started college in the fall of 2003.
Throughout my primary and …
Yesterday was a good day. I woke up at 7 with every intention of going a speaking to my accounting instructor since I missed class on Thursday and he decided to give a quiz, but I didn't make it to his office until 12:3…
So I went to the museum. Normally I love the architecture of the place and it's very calming and serene, but today the entrance gallery, which is normally empty or has only a very few pieces in it, is crammed full with …
Wow!! For once I think that I'm not completely burried in homework. I spent Friday night, all day yesterday doing 3 chapters of accounting so that I would have this day. I am going to the art museum for some much need…
I seem to complain about everything. There has to be some good stuff that happens too. That shall be my goal--to find the good.
The paper is done, I made the trip out to my parents' house yesterday afternoon to get it. The wind was horrible on the way there. I got the paper though. The one day I decide to skip a class there's a pop quiz. Grr.…
THE PAPER IS DONE! THE PAPER IS DONE! I am so glad that this management project is now done. The paper is now written and I just sent it to be printed. I'll drive the 130 miles to my parents' house tomorrow to pick i…
I may have overreacted a bit last night, but that's what working on a paper for 14 hours straight does to me. The rest of the group sent me their sections today and they were done very well. The whole paper is shaping …
If I were in front of Donald Trump he would go "YOU'RE FIRED!!!"
I have been a horrible project manager on this project for operations management. I thought our group was on track with this project and that all the gro…
This is the product that my group developed for the management project I've been griping about. The pictures looked good when I would preview them on the camera, but now that I've uploaded them to the computer I don't…
In one week I have nearly spent the money that was supposed to last me the entire semester. I'm going to have to hide the ole' VISA or it's going to get me in trouble again.
I feel like I should call my parents, but I …
Woohooo!!!! I owned the accounting exams last night. I got a 98% and a 96% on them. That brought my final course grade to a 97.3% Now if I can keep that up my gpa should easily go back up closer to my 3.85 goal.
I'm…
I was sooooo excited tonight. I was getting my computer out of my bag at the bakery so that I could help my friend Laura when I spotted something shiny in the bottom of the bag. It was my ring that I thought I lost in …
The GlobalFlyer made it around the world. My dad and brother were there somewhere in the crowd. Maybe for a little bit now Kansas will get a little coverage about something other than murder.
Also, this site/exhibit f…
I have a major headache now after my operations management class. Today, in class we went over the requirements of the report required for this project. There are a ton of requirements for the paper, plus all the graph…
This operations management project may be the demise of me. Everything has gone smoothly on the project up to this point, and I've enjoyed being the project manager. But now things are starting to get more complex, and…
I want to get out of Kansas for at least a couple days during spring break; I also want to go shopping because I ruined my favorite pair of brown leather shoes. I looked into nyc, but that wasn't really feasible financi…
