Ok so I stretched a little to make the title sound nice, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for alliteration.
Meetings! Well I attend the year's first Business Club meeting the other night and I really kicked myself for not being more involved with that club earlier. So I am currently applying to be a representative for the Business Club. This club hosts an amazing Business Recruiting expo every fall and spring, and next Thursday is the first one! I'm really nervous because I've always wanted to go but always felt not serious enough for it. This year I'm diving in head first. I am attending the expo during the day, while sporting my best business attire and handing out my new and improved resume (thanks to Frank Gilmartin at Career Services), and at night I am going to the dinner at the Hilton. Hopefully this will lead to an internship or (fingers crossed!) future employment. These days jobs are so hard to come by that when someone asks me my career goals I say "any job that will pay off my student loans." Anyway, I'll fill you in next week about how the expo goes.
The other major meeting was that last night was the first session of the SBDC's Building Your Art Business workshop that I have been putting together with Lisa Hall as my Honors tutorial class. It went really well and our group of 15 is great. They seemed to love the presentation and all the information they received. I only had to do an icebreaker with the group so I wasn't so nervous. In a couple weeks I'm actually presenting something so I'll save the stage fright until then.
I received my mentor, Mary Kay Warner last Thursday. She has a really interesting job that deals with eco-friendly record keeping and digitalizing companies' systems to eliminate unnecessary paper work. It really ties into my Sustainable Marketing class.
And now for some fun stuff! You read correctly, I'm going to the Dave concert tonight. The weather is gorgeous so it should be a great time. My friend Emily and I are going together, but so many people from "the U" are going, too. I'm sure I'll run into some familiar faces!
'Gotta run!
