April 2009 Archives

Hey all,

Here is what I have been up to. The Spring has been crazy but it has been good.

• Spring Break was a blast. Went to Houston and Austin with the family. Had a great time. Saw some great shows at South By Southwest. It was amazing. Austin is a beautiful city and so is Houston. Houston you just have to look a little harder.
• Coming back was tough, but we started soccer games so that always makes things go fast. Our Spring seeason has not gone as well as we would have liked, But we did get a good result against IU last night tying them 0-0.
• Now its on to group projects and papers... Yuck. But what is getting me through is my Internship in London this Summer. I do not know exactly what I will be doing abroad, however I am extremely excited and ready to enjoy life over there for a couple months.

Hopefully everyone is having a great spring. Hopefully this weather stays warm and we can get out of this school year with good grades. Good luck everyone. Talk soon.

Hello everyone out there! I just wanted to get you up to speed on my semester so far!

As of Spring 2009, I am now a part-time evening student. I work full time in the day, and go to class from 6pm to ..... well, if you've taken night classes, you know what I mean.

I do think IUPUI has done a great job giving students many options for taking evening or night classes while they work full time!

But enough about that! I'm taking M303 (Marketing research) which is alot more interesting than I thought it would be. We are working on a group project (yes, there are plenty of group projects once you get out of ICORE). The project actually is helping our Athletics' department here at IUPUI.

My other class is P320 (Sourcing). This class is really good too. It teaches very valuable life-skills such as negotiating. Even if you think you don't plan on being a purchase agent (or other of the many catagories of jobs that sourcing encompasses), this class will teach you how to effectively (and fairly) negotiate. Now friends, that can come in handy someday!

Until we meet again!
