Once In a Lifetime
So I have neglected this thing. I've been far too busy. I read it religiously and still get annoyed when no one posts something new for me to read after a day or so. But I have not updated since- what? February? Anyway, it's been eventful. Here goes:
School:
Taking six classes is a lot but it's definitely manageable. Once I get through Tuesdays, the rest of the week flies by. I've found myself skipping classes, but I think I only feel like I'm missing more than I actually do. My grades are pretty good too. I brought my Organizational Behavior grade up from a D to a Bsomething with the last test and the professor likes me which is cool. Business Law II isn't bad- the prof is pretty dry but I'm doing fine. Management Science- technically, I'm doing well. But I don't feel like I understand it at ALL, probably because the professor is an idiot and his English is terrible. Web Design is one of my least favorite classes. It's boring, not interesting and a waste of time because the prof takes it far more seriously than is healthy. Business and Society is the worst class ever. The professor is 70+ years old, and spends three hours a week yelling about how politicians are prostitutes and it's okay to get drunk and beat your wife and kick your dog when you've had a bad day because a job in the government is a damn good job. Okay, maybe I'm combining stories, but maybe not. It sucks and I wouldn't survive if it weren't for the fact that I have friends in that class who, while they don't keep me sane, they're as miserable as I am. Finance is going well too and I'm actually doing well and starting to like it, as well as realizing that that's where the money is.
Which brings me to my next announcement: I'm switching my major to finance. It's so hard to find internships in anything other than finance or accounting. I need a marketable skill. Financial planning is a good one to have. So I'm switching to finance. What am I going to do with my management classes that I've taken? I've taken 4 at the end of this semester: MGT250, 322, 355, and 330. I need MGT490 to graduate. And a minor in management is MGT250, MGT322 and three other classes. MGT355, 330 and 490 will complete the minor. And I only need one more class to finish a pre-law minor because I've taken four already, so I can complete the minor in Pre-Law before I graduate next year. So with a major in finance and a double minor in management and pre-law, I think I'm pretty well-equipped for any job, including law. With a background in finance, I can get into corporate law or estate planning. Sweet.
Work:
I have absolutely had it with the Men's Wearhouse. There's so much drama and bullshit and I am completely fed up. Plus, it doesn't help that it's not where I want to be. I want more; it's time for me to get more. So on Saturday, I put in my two weeks notice. My last day will be April 28.
I also interviewed today at EBNY Financial. They really liked me and said my resume is impressive and I should know one way or the other by the end of the week. I really hope I get it. The hours are good: Monday through Thursday, 9 to 5. He was like "You're an intern. You don't need to work full time. And usually, Fridays we're dead after 1. So we give you Fridays off. Enjoy your weekend." Which is pretty sweet. I can't wait to have a 9 to 5 haha no more 10 hour Saturdays. No late nights. And it's really close to Pace too. And he said they really like Pace students so here's hoping!
Chris also called to see how my interview went tonight, which leads me to:
Social:
1. I'm running for President of my fraternity. And no one else wants the position specifically. So it looks like I'll be running the show. Skye is also going to be on the exec board. Sophie and Teresa are graduating in a month which is scary because my friends are graduating college. It means I'm next. So I'm glad I realized I need to change my major now because another semester would put me seriously behind. I should still graduate on time next May. It's crazy. I remember my first day of first grade. Now here I am, a year away from graduating college. It's scary lol
2. We've started having "Sex and the City" dates. Skye, Teresa, Sophie and myself. We met at lunch today for pizza, Snapple and gossip about the men in our lives. Always a good time. Today's discussing was centered around me. And Christopher.
3. Chris and I are up and down. He can't make up his mind. One day, we're dating and things are great. The next, he doesn't want to date. A week later, we're having sex again. Maybe it's not the greatest situation I could possibly be in but I like him and I'm willing to stick around for a while.
If I get this internship, I need to find a place to live for the summer. Stressful.
Also, the shooting at Virginia Tech today is so incredibly sad. I didn't know it would affect me so much but it really does upset me. Maybe it's because I know someone who goes there. It's not that I'm great friends with her- pretty much the opposite actually. But I'm just glad to know that she's safe. Like I said, I didn't think it would affect me like this but it gives me chills and I just cannot turn off the news. I've been glued to it since I got home this afternoon. It's so sad and upsetting and my heart goes out to the entire VT community.
