The midterm crunch is over, but it still feels like we're on fast forward
This weekend was a bit of a breather thankfully!
The last midterm of the quarter was last Monday, which means we have a few more weeks left before final exams. We've gotten our grades on two of the core midterms (Operations and Finance), and are waiting for the grade on our Marketing Exam. I'm also waiting to receive my grade on my Sustainability midterm. As I mentioned, the exam was a take-home, and required us to develop a life-long sustainability plan. This was a difficult assignment, because there are so many variables involved. I had to consider where I would live, what companies I am willing to work for (and which ones I would NOT work for), the effect that governmental regulations/changes could have, along with the most important factor - family.
We also still have one large project that is due soon: a brand portfolio, for our Marketing class. Our team choose to analyze the Honda Fit, which is pretty convenient because I have one! The project is interesting, but pretty difficult!
This weekend was very fun! First, I hung out with my Little Sister, Nesha. She introduced me to O'Charley's - which has some pretty good food! We then watched her little brother play basketball at DayBreakers Church on the east side of Columbus. I had a lot of fun watching all the four- to eight-year olds playing! They did a great job. Then Sunday, a group of MBA students organized a trip to Waffle House, since several of the international students had never been there. As always, there was enough butter for the biscuits and hashbrowns to float on, but that is part of the charm of Wafflehouse. I then drove up to Ashland, OH to see the high school's rendition of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The students did an amazing job; the auditorium was packed with about 1,200 people.
This week is going by fast - the trip to see Warren Buffett in Omaha, Nebraska is this Thursday and Friday!
Take care,
Stacey
