Busy busy bees



This semester is already half over and I feel like it has just begun. Mid-terms are finally over which is very nice and I took most of the weekend to relax and enjoy some time with some friends in-town for homecoming. I even got to carve pumpkins for like the first time in maybe 20 years. It was really fun, even though my pumpkins were made fun of (by myself included). However, I'm fine with letting a year go by before I am expected to do this again. :) Here are my pumpkins... In both of the pictures they're the ones on the far right...




So, I haven't filled you in yet about my assistantship. I am working part-time for Land O' Lakes for the summer (yes, the butter and cheese) for their Walmart account. While I have been spending most of my time analyzing sales through Walmart's retail link system, my boss has given me a fun project to work on recently. I am preparing the presentation for a line review with a Walmart buyer. If the buyer accepts these products, Land O' Lakes will have a great opportunity in a total new category for the Walmart team. The line review is next week, so hopefully all goes smooth.




Well, the fun weekend of Halloween and a Razorback win is over, and it's back to the books tomorrow. Luckily no tests this week, hopefully I'll get caught up on some projects that are coming due soon.

Helen,
My company is testing a new Retail Link tool we've produced. If you're interested in getting a copy, contact me via our website at http://www.harvest-it.com. G'luck on that MBA!
