Catch up...

I was driving in my car today when it started to rain. Normally I really like rain, but as I went to turn on my windshield wipers I remembered that for some reason they only have one speed, fast. Perfect. It was raining too hard to not have them on at all, but not hard enough for the one speed that they were going. My better judgement told me to at least keep them on so I could see out the windshield. Therefore, for 10 minutes I listened to them wipe to the right and squeak back to the left over and over again. This is just one of the several annoying things that my car seems to be doing now. Too bad I can't afford to get a new one.

Spring Break

Spring Break has finally arrived!!! It definitely came at just the right time, when my stress level was at an all time high. I'm still waiting to hear about a few different internships for summer and starting to get a little nervous. I know there is still a couple of months left, but I kind of want to know sometime soon. I was also talking to my mom in the last two days and it's sounding like the traineeship thing could become a reality for this summer so it's nice to know that I have a couple of options. So now I'm going to start looking for traineeships for myself too, which I'm really excited about. Hopefully I will find something so incredible that I just can't pass it up!!!

Snow

Today it snowed, and snowed, and then snowed some more. It would be sunny one minute and then snowing and barely visible the next. This pattern went on for a large part of the day. If I was a person that really liked snow then I might consider this heaven, but in fact I actually hate snow with a passion. I guess it is pretty to watch while it's falling, but having to drive in it is a completely different story. Tonight I decided to venture out, which probably wasn't a great idea. While on the way to my friends house I fish-tailed countless times, even while driving very slow, saw a car that had hit a fire hydrant, and saw a car that had hit a stop light. Fortunately I made it to my destination and back home all in one piece. I think my deep dislike for snow really began when I tried skiing for the first time. Long story short, I was definitely not successful and my friends had many laughs over me. I guess after that I decided that since I couldn't ski and didn't have a snowmobile, snow really had no purpose in my life besides being a pain in the ass. When I'm done with school I think I'm going to have to move some place that is warm. Maybe I will have to go back to Australia where it is mostly warm all year round and maybe I'll even pick myself up one of those hunky Aussie boys! Hey, a girl can dream can't she?!?

Lots of stuff...

I was just looking at my schedule for next week and realized that it is going to be hell week! I have 3 exams, a quiz, a presentation due, a project due, an internship interview, and of course AIESEC. Why must professors torture students by having so much due in one week, not to mention the week before Spring Break. I suppose it could be worse and they could make everything due the week after. So assuming that I survive next week, Spring Break will be much needed. It will actually be kind of nice to just go home and veg out for a week. However, my mom has recently came up with the idea that we should go somewhere, so if that works out, I'm game too as long as it doesn't cost me anything.

Here's another kind of random thing. I work for a management professor on campus and the other day she had me inputting surveys into the computer. The survey was about negotiating and it was taken by both American students and Vietnamese students. At the end of the survey one of the questions asked what you had most recently negotiated about and as I was inputting the Vietnamese surveys, I noticed that quite a few students had written "love". This struck me as kind of odd because I had never thought of love as something that you would negotiate about. Maybe as a negotiation within yourself, but with other people? I don't know....I suppose it can be interpreted in different ways, but I'm still not sure how love is negotiated. I mean I love my family and my friends. I may not agree with everything they do, but I still love them. Maybe that's the negotiation part. I could be thinking too hard about this altogether....oh well.

Just another day

So I guess I haven't been doing very well on keeping up with the weblog. Anyway, I had an interview for a marketing internship today. I think it went well, but I won't find out how well until middle of next week. I hate all this waiting stuff. Then once I figure out how this interview went, I will have a second interview, and then hopefully a third interview. I wish I could just find out right now how it went and if I got the internship. Once of my many tasks for tomorrow is to apply for three more internships. Hopefully out of the four I can land one of them, but I'll see how that goes. Now I'm just waiting to go to my managerial accounting class, which is not very fun at all. If anyone is an accounting/finance major, I could use your help. I was pleasantly suprised at the exam that I took on Tuesday in that class though....the professor could have made it really hard, but he was actually pretty nice about it. As for Spring Break plans, none exist. Looks like I will be lounging around at my parents place for a week. Maybe I'll use that time to catch up on reading and most definitely sleep. Well, I'm off to accounting now!
