I say she because only a woman could hold so much power over me. It struck my yesterday that the season is getting to me. The months take so long during winter, I believe that every year a funk occurs where my attitude starts to play limbo. There’s something to the long cold days, lack [...]
When you first get out of school, you just don’t get it. As sad as that sounds (I hate when people say, “you just don’t get it” or “she gets it,” it’s an easy way out, another inclusion group to reference yourself with; if I don’t get it, you need to explain to me what [...]

Recently in my information decision sciences class, I jokingly made the comment that I could disintermediate my teacher because all or near all information today is accessible to many. This was a half truth. The teacher shrugged it off and said, paraphrased, “It’s cool with me, I’ll just work on my research.” I’m sure this [...]
The first semester after the core has been especially hectic. There are such a great deal of group projects. I have projects on market research, brand management, info decision sciences, finance and another on the Obama campaign and how to leverage so called “new media.” This along with work have added up to a lot [...]
I’d been meaning to write about interviewing and such for some time. The problem is that I didn’t want to write about it publicly while still in the process. There are some major problems with interviewing and the processes around it. Every company wants you to be absolutely in love with them. That’s an issue, [...]
