To all those wondering, no my title isn't gibberish.  It was actually the topic of my first presentation in "Enhancing Professional Interchange" (EPI).  EPI is basically a speech class.  I know that most people fear public speaking but I was actually excited to hear that we were required to take this class because I know there is always room for improvement.

Tomorrow will be the fifth time we meet for class and things are starting to pick up. I have my first MBA 870 midterm on October 20th and my team is in the process of picking a project for MBA 812. Not only that, but work has been very busy and my social calendar is very busy this month as I have stated before. In order to get my work done, I am going to need to make it over to the library for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday morning.

I was so excited to meet him the first day of class.  He was intriguing, logical, and extremely diverse.  I’ve been getting to know him better over the past two weeks and even though he is all of the above, our relationship already seems to be hitting some of those normal bumps in the road.  He seemed so clear in the beginning and then, BAM, he became very confusing.  I never know what he is trying to get at. Ugh!

Porter’s Five Forces model: In accordance with Porter's view, there are five basic competitive forces that affect the competition within an industry. The five forces are threat of competitors, entry, substitutes, suppliers and buyers.

Tomorrow is a big day for me for two reasons.
