Wow, just when I thought things could not possibly get any worse, they somehow manage to get worse and just take away all of my drive. I just got off the phone with my old boss at the Racetrack and she said that they are not going to extend an offer to me to work in the Accounting Dept., but I could still work in their Twin Spires Dept. Her ( Read more... )

Well, as I've previously chronicled, my internship search has essentially ended in failure except for my job at the racetrack which I'm being forced into for lack of anything better. Anyways, there is something I've always wanted to do, and this summer may be the last opportunity to do so. Call me crazy, but I've always wanted to go on a long ( Read more... )

Well today was a very eventful day. I woke up at seven this morning in order to be ready to head over to Krannert at eight this morning with my friend, Andy, for MBA orientation. There was a nice informal breakfast provided, and after breakfast we listened to professors discuss their areas of specialty within the MBA program. It was relatively ( Read more... )

Well, today was an incredibly busy day. I had to go to the bookstore today to buy a "professional" looking card to write a "professional" note to a make believe person for my management 301 course which is arguably the most worthless class ever. Worst class EVER! Anyways, while I was at the bookstore, I was perusing the different thank you cards ( Read more... )

Get this...Old Dirty Bastard who is set to be released from a psychiatric ward is officially changing his name to Dirt McGert. Wow....sad day for humanity. Perhaps, he is not better after his stay in the mental ward. Anyways, nothing too interesting went on today. I've basically been studying my brains out for this finance exam I have tomorrow ( Read more... )

Well, I have some pretty good stories to tell after making two trips to Chicago in the last three days. This past Thursday, my friend Hyun and I drove down to the University of Chicago for this Big 10 job fair. I talked to roughly 12 companies, and of those I talked to, only like 3 or 4 were interested. Of those companies, one of them was ( Read more... )

I saw this show on MTV yesterday which inspired this post. During the show, a reporter from MTV went around interviewing famous Black rappers who label themselves as gangstas. One of the people he interviewed was Snoop Dogg, former crip, and the ULTIMATE gangsta. Snoop analyzed the gangsta mentality, what it takes to be a gangsta, and the ( Read more... )

really sucks. After spending a great deal of free time within the last two months trying to obtain an internship at a high profile firm, my emotions have been dulled to the frequency of rejection. The first rejection notice I received stung a bit I admit, and every rejection notice since then has gradually decreased in painfulness as I now almost ( Read more... )

Overall, my day was incredibly boring, but I do have several interesting things on my mind to share. I probably should stop reading our school newspaper because I am constantly perturbed by the atrocities occuring in and around the world. First off, on the cover of today's exponent was an article entitled "Cruise Missle Kills 14 Civilians." Two ( Read more... )

So yea, I only had two classes today, finance and statistics. My finance lecture runs for approximately an hour and fifteen minutes and seems to last an eternity. I swear to god I have never met a more boring man in my entire life. Regardless of how hard I try, I stop paying attention after like five minutes and then end up trying to teach ( Read more... )
