So this is how the week went down:
Monday - up till 4:30AM finishing a paper with my team for our strategy class. If you thought writing papers was bad, wait till you try writing one BY COMMITTEE!!!
[paper = 25% of grade]
Tuesday - up at 9AM, class till 12:40, meeting to discuss MBA conference in LA in September, then 2:00 PM presentation of paper and findings to strategy professor in his office. This guy is a real hardass and he raped us. At one point he's like "so we've spent 28 minutes and you haven't told me anything!"
[presentation = 15% of grade]
After that, I get to work on my brand management and market research projects until midnite!!! YAY!!!
Wednesday - Interview with local high tech entrepreneurial council for possible summer internship. Went bad because I did not have enough sleep methinks...slow in answering some questions. Then more work on brand mgmt and market research until 11pm
Thursday - Last day of classes. Class until 11:15am, then prep for interview in Fairport, interview with company selling solid-state and flow controllers etc. went well, then final touches on presentations for brand mgmt. and market research. Market research presentation at 7:50pm, followed by brand management presentation in front of P&G senior executive at 8:45pm. Hellish! But it was all over by 10pm. Then I went to school-sponsored flip cup tournament where all the alcohol (pitchers of beer and mixed drinks) FREE!!! Got blasted, nearly passed out due to no sleep, then got dropped off.
[market research project/presentation/paper = 30% of grade]
[brand management project = 100% of grade!!!]
Then I sobered up in front of the telly watching LOST season finale. Missed a lot of TV this week--still have '24' to catch up on!
