On Wednesday (that's in two days) is our first test in accounting. It is Monday night after 6 and I have yet to begin studying....so, I thought, what a great time to add a blog entry. :)
Once my test is over, this is going to be a pretty good week. I am attending a workshop on executive interviewing on Wednesday night, which is just in-time b/c I have my first real interview on Thursday. I will be visiting a company I made contacts with at a networking event held by the Walton MBA last week. I'm excited b/c I think this company will really fit into what I am looking for once I get out of school. I'll keep you posted.
Well, I really need to get busy with studying now...sorry so short.

BBBBQ and career fairs!!! Whoo Hoo!
So, my favorite week in Fayetteville, AR has arrived!!! Today was the first day of Bikes, Blues, and BBQ! For those of you not from this area, this is the largest charity bike rally in the nation. There will be about 100,000 motorcycles in Fayetteville and about 300,000 people will visit the event!! Even though I know nothing about motorcycles, I know I love good food and music!
It's now Wednesday and it's been a pretty busy week so far. Monday night we had a special networking event to meet with prospect employers. My classmates and I all made posters to show off our summer internship experiences as company represntatives came around and visited with each of us. I made some contacts with some companies that I had previously not considered, so that was great! Tuesday was our career fair where several companies come to recruit both MBA students and undergrads. Some examples of attendies are: colgate, nestle, walmart, target, j.b. hunt, campbells, etc. I was able to make a second contact with the employers from the previous night and feel like I have really made some progress.
Well, it's now about 9, and I have put off my homework long enough. I'll post some pictures of BBBBQ later this weekend for all to see.

Hooray for Thursday!
There are several great blogs out in the e-world that you could be reading right now, so I just feel privileged that you are visiting mine. Make sure to check back often as I will be updating posts at least twice weekly.
So here we are already in week 4 of the semester and I feel like we just began last week.
I know this sounds weird, but I'm excited for an extended class session tonight. Our Retail Finance class is having a 3 hour session to learn how to run a location intelligence software program. We have a guest visitor from the Gadberry Group who will teach us all he can in the limited amount of time about finding the right data needed to make wise retail location decisions. Hopefully I will be able to actually apply this information in order to help my current employer decide on future locations.
Once this extended session ends, the weekend begins! The hogs have a big test this weekend with Alabama in town. Go Hogs! I'll be back with more updates next week.
