One final exam and one paper away from finishing my first year in graduate school means it is time to play catch up. I have to catch you all up on a lot so I will catch you up on a little bit today and this will focus on work.I think one of the best things about the MLHR program is that it allows enough time for students to easily maintain a part time job as well. Some of my classmates are able to have HR internships during the year which I think helps them in a lot in the classroom. I am fortunate enough to work at Fisher in the Office of Career Management.

I feel like I have mentioned how I feel about the quarters system before but I once again want to mention how difficult it is to adjust to having 3 sets of midterms, finals, and projects in the academic year.

This is not an A+ week for the following reasons:-no one is showing up to their appointments at work which gives me more time to NOT study....-I have a midterm this evening and I have studied probably in all total about 1.5 hours for it...which right now feels like plenty but tonight at 6 pm it will not be enough (funny how I know that yet I am blogging, playing bejeweled blitz on facebook, texting, and not studying...)-It is snowing outside. Again. Third winter storm in a week. Note to self take winter quarter off next year. ha.
