I can tell this week is going to be another crazy one - so I wanted to go ahead and get in a post.
Today was fun - I had an exam in Game Theory! In other words I stayed up really late studying last night and am now, at 8:51pm, exhausted. Do not practice my study habits - they are a result of doing way too many things.
I still think I scored at least at the average. We'll see.
Every Monday night I have a 2.5 hour class - the Economic Consulting Workshop. It is a really interesting class, but also pretty challenging. Tonight we learned that we will use EVERYTHING we've learned in business school for economic consulting. It is fun to apply things I learned back in managerial accounting and macroeconomics, it will just be interesting trying to remember things I learned 3 years ago. I just keep in mind that what I learn in this class will be directly applicable to whatever I am doing in my full time job next year.
Other than school, I am looking forward to going home to Georgia in a week and a half. My nephew Jackson is going to be born! I am pretty much going to have to drop everything to go see him - but it will be completely worth it. I'll be an aunt for the first time... which makes me feel a bit old for the first time also, haha.
Will post again this weekend and probably talk about how I am studying like crazy for my statistics test on Monday!

Time... where is it?
Wow this was a crazy week. I'll give you a brief overview of one of my days so you will understand what I mean by crazy.
Tuesday; pretty representative of my week:
9:00am - wake up and study for two hours before my International Trade and Policy class
11:15am - Class (International Trade)
12:30 - 1:00pm. I have thirty minutes to get from the business school to the library, grab lunch and talk to my boyfriend, and walk 15 minutes to Ballantine for my English class. Everyone on campus is doing the same thing as me it seems like, and there is usually a 20 minute line to get food, haha. By the time I get out of line I usually have about 2 minutes to eat.
1:00pm - English L354 - Modern Literature since 1914 (we are reading The Grapes of Wrath in this class - very interesting since I've never read it)
2:15pm - 3:30pm - work on homework for my Econometrics class - it's always due on Wednesday.
3:30pm - 4:30pm - I close the Bagel stand every Tuesday, and it usually takes me about an hour. My club runs the stand, and lately we have been selling out every day - of everything!
4:30pm - 5:00pm - This past Tuesday I had to sprint home, change into business casual, grab food, and run back to the school, literally, to make it back before 5:00pm.
5:00pm - 6:30pm - Interviews for Women in Business! We recruited new members this week and did 2nd round interviews. I sat in on both rounds of interviews and was impressed with everyone! It was a hard decision to make, but eventually we narrowed down 127 applicants to 31 members.
6:30pm - 7:15pm - Private event with the CFO of Whirlpool, Tax VP, and employees in the program I am interested in. It was an awesome event because I got to network with a CFO!
7:15-10:00pm - More interviews
10:00pm - 2:00am - Homework! Nathaniel actually felt bad for me I think and brought me dinner (Jimmy Johns!) and gave me company in the computer lab, so it wasn't too bad.
Next week things should slow down because I will not be conducting interviews every night and I should find out if I have some interviews...
I'll update again soon!

School started already?!
I have simply not had the time to post here in a whileeee. The last half of the summer was a complete whirlwind for me.
I finished my internship at Parliament, with a pending publication under my belt and an experience I will never forget. I was sad to leave my co-workers and friends I made while in London - I felt like I was really getting to know them well.
Now I'm back at school and it has already been super eventful. I am now the President of Women in Business, an organization I've been in now for over 3 years. We are interviewing new members this week - 130 people applied! I am always glad to see so much interest in our club.
In addition to heading up the organization, I am networking as much as possible so I can get a full-time job offer by the end of the fall semester. It is really competitive this year, but I know it will all work out.
...And in about two weeks I should have a new nephew! My brother and his wife are expecting their first baby, Jackson, on October 5th. I will definitely be making the drive home for him!
Now I am just working in the library, all day. Unfortunately I cannot get that much homework done because most of it is book based :(.
Tonight I will be building a cardboard boat with some friends from WIB. The Council for Advancing Student Leadership is having a race next weekend, and in order to compete you have to build a boat strong enough to hold two people, so you can paddle your way across one of IUs pools. It should be a really interesting night!
