End of Week 13!
Hey Everyone! End of week 13 over here for me! Ended last night at around 7:00 PMish, lucky me! A recap of this week:
Monday: Just coached at track practice from 6-7:45 for Holy Family grades 3 - 8
Tuesday: Investment Analysis Class - Very interesting, we talked about different trends, about rational investing, ended the class off with just some ending words of advice in regards to using the stock market as your investment vehicle. Received my paper back and received 100, and picked a presentation day for first up on April 27th. We have an exam next Tuesday the 20th.
Beta Alpha Psi/Accounting Association: Prior to class, we had our inductions for new members and officers (I will be VP of communications), having pasta, lasagna etc., from Spaghetti Warehouse and having a few faculty join in. I am pretty excited about the position and to make the group better, the officers standing down were awesome and we have big shoes to fill.
Wednesday: Had student toastmasters, which went well, talked about applications for the iPhone and many people had great ideas for the app store, pretty cool stuff.
Strategic Marketing Management: Had our exam - the essays were pretty decent, but there were 6-8 multiple choice that I just could not narrow down for the life of me! Again, I hope I get a 50/50 right on the ones that I could narrow and make an intelligent guess on. I received my Netflix paper back and received 100 again. He must be getting excited for his retirement at the end of this semester! Also, if I do semi-well on this exam, I won't have to take the final. I have my fingers crossed.
This upcoming weekend: Well, today I have track practice to coach at again from 6-7:45. After that, I just need to plan and get ready for my trip to Oxford for a formal that I was asked to go to from Caitlin. Pretty excited, but doubt my legs will be able to move like they used to : ). Looking forward to it, but I feel terrible that I am missing out on our track meet on Sunday and also work on Sunday. Also, I have to find plenty of time to study for my Investment Analysis exam next Tuesday. It should be quite a busy upcoming 5 days for me. And guess what? It starts NOW!
Therefore I am taking off to read and study some. Any one have any big plans for the weekend? Cavs play the Bulls Saturday to start the playoffs - Definitely looking forward to the "extended" season! Go Cavs! This is YOUR Year!!

Skipping Ahead
Hey Everyone ~ Sorry for the Delay, my blogs were down for some time and I wasn't able to post, my apologies. I therefore am calling this post, "Skipping Ahead" because I will be fast forwarding a week or so.
April 4th week: I had completed 2 papers - One in Investment Analysis regarding my stock screening task, why I chose the criteria, the top 5 companies that my results "spat" out and what and why I chose the company to invest in, which in fact, I did invest in the company and another 2 by the way : ). The other paper was regarding Netflix Inc., for my Strategic Marketing Management course which had to describe a new type mission statement for them, about their product offerings and growth strategies and also dealing with the result of technology - whether it was sustaining or disruptive to them - of course technology is really the platform for Netflix, especially when talking about the means of the internet and its capabilities for them and the disruptiveness to Blockbuster, which is trading around 25 cents per share, ouch!
That finished off that Week really, had another evaluation/quiz sort in Capital Budgeting which was pretty easy, we won't be having class this Wednesday night due to a conference he is attending. He now has changed his final to a report instead of an exam - which really is nice because I love to pour my thoughts, strategies, ideas and understandings of what we are learning than taking a MC or T/F question type test - that just doesn't show that you understand the material. Also, our intramural team (Gamebreakers) won on Tuesday night, which is 2 wins in a row and actually we have "mercied" the team 2 weeks in a row now. Oh on another note -> I was front page on the Buchtelite, our University paper, regarding a financial advice section, where I talked about Roth IRAs - Invest Now, especially while you are young - the main principle of the article.
13th Week of Grad School Ahead
-Investment Analysis: I believe we are simply having a lecture
-Intramural Basketball Game at 9PM
-Strategic Marketing Management - Exam #2. If I do well on this, I don't have to take the final : )
-Capital Budgeting: No Class (Professor @ Conference)
-Miami for Caitlin's Formal Dance on Saturday night - Hope my 180,000 + Mile car makes it : )
We are in the home stretch as of right now and there are still many things to accomplish. I received a 95/100 on my presentation in Leadership on that last Monday in March and a 94 on my Leadership Development Plan, which I keep revising and reading to really find where I am going on this journey. I appreciate everyone reading and I truly am curious: How is everyone finishing up? Summer Plans? Let me know! Talk to you all soon.
