This week was my first full week of 17th grade aka graduate school. I'm taking 3 classes, Managerial and Organizational Behavior, Marketing Management, and Managerial Accounting. GAG!
That might be the single worst group of classes EVER since I took calculus and organic chemistry the same quarter at Davis.
So we already know that my first class was less than stellar but the other 2 classes weren't absolutely horrible. They were normal horrible. My organizational behavior professor is may be the driest-sounding human being on the planet. Think the teacher from Ferris Bueller's Day Off... "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller...". My teacher must be related to that guy because it's that bad.
He did have us do an interesting ice-breaker. We had to ask some people a specific question we came up with and record it. Then we introduce ourselves and people start saying what else we know about them. For instance I asked "Where is your favorite place in the entire world to take a nap?" and then whenever someone I had asked that question, I'd offer their answer. So when this kid Josh went up, I said his favorite place was a lounge chair on the beach. When I got up though, a lot of people offered facts about me I had answered, like my favorite movie is When Harry Met Sally, if I was stranded on an island I would bring my collection of Sherlock Holmes novels, my favorite drink is Jack and Coke, the coolest place I have been was Zurich, Switzerland, I like to go camping and play sports obvi, and that I don't know what I want to do after graduate school.
Ummm. I didn't know I was that chatty with so many people. So now I'm that California girl who likes sappy 80's movies, mystery novels, and probably has a slightly unhealthy obsession with Jack Daniels.
Can you say AWKWARD first impression much??
The plus side is that I have seen quite a few familiar faces in my classes which is good as a lot of the projects we have to do are group projects. Oh joy.
But I have to say that some of the subject material could be potentially helpful in business and just overall managing which could help me in my current job...
Which leads me into a perfect segue in which I vent about my job.
This week was the first week with practices needing to be supervised meaning all the training we had earlier now had to be implemented. Here goes nothng!! And oh boy was it a great first week.
The very first day one of my sups had to call the ambulance. Ya. Cool, an emergency in which the paramedics needed to be called. Great start to the year. Yay.
And just about every day after that I was scrambling to just find people to work the practices. Usually I was pacing in the office frantically calling staff members to get someone to work. Their were also various events to be staffed to get our IM/Sport clubs more notice which meant chalking, flyers, marketing at the dorms, event tables, demos and just lots and lots of pitching. I totally felt like a cars salesman. "Play intramural sports! Have fun! 0% financing! All-Wheel Drive!"
The campus is really crazy now that all of the students are back and the line for the book store is crazzzyyy long and the line to the newly opened starbucks on campus is even longer.
Ok all you freshman. I have a Starbucks gold card. Get. Out. Of. My. WAY
(I'm a little bit of a caffeine addict. Chai tea, vanilla lattes, mochas, just normal coffee.... Oh good lawd don't get me started, I love it all. Get this! My boss is a fellow coffee/starbucks addict too. So whenever I do something wrong I already know to show up to work with a venti white and green cup in hand and all will be forgiven. Score)
But I don't have Bruce Almighty god powers so I forgo the line that's 58 people long. Instead me and Kaylee go to dinner at the local Thai restaurant which was super delicious. After dinner I was planning on going out but then the next thing I know it's morning and I had slept for over 10 hours. After that 1st week I guess I needed it. But now that I'm fully recharged it's time to partayyy!
Ha. By partayy I mean nap and maybe go for a walk if it's not too hot. This is my weekend.
To be continued!
