Interview

I was pretty nervous about going into the mock interview. I have an interest in becoming a real estate agent, but I have not currently been involved with much real estate. I hope that this summer I can get an internship within a real estate company. Even though I was nervous I feel that the interview went very well. I believe I came across pretty confident and willing to the job. The interview was not very long, but I have been in a real interview that only took a few minutes. This was interesting to me because I would have always assumed that most interviews would take a long time. Overall, I learned a lot about interviews. I need to dress appropriately, be on time, and have all my materials. I am glad that we had a mock interview, I believe it will prepare me better for future interviews!

Shopping

I am really excited about this weekend. Not only is there a football game on Saturday but my mom and I are going shopping! I am a shopaholic. It is one of my favorite things to do and I would definitely call it a hobby. It will be nice to spend a day with my mom, too. We do not get to see each other that much because I have been so busy with school. It will be nice bonding time and time to catch up with each others lives. We are going jean shopping. I usually buy my jeans at Buckle in the greenville mall, but I talked my mom into going to some cute boutiques around this area. Jeans at boutiques are usually more expensive so I probably wont be able to get very many if any at all, but it will enjoy shopping in different shops. I have worked hard and lost ten pounds this summer. I am almost back to my highschool weight and I am very excited to drop a size in my jeans. I guess it is a girl thing. Overall, this weekend is going to be busy and fun. I think it will be a nice break to get my mind off of school.

Presentations!

I really enjoyed the last two classes. I feel like I got to know my class mates a lot better. All of the presentations were great, but I really enjoyed Megan's presentation on colors and how they affect your mood. I found it very interesting that red makes you hungry and blue has the opposite effect. I felt that her slides were well designed and flowed well with her presentation. I liked that she used examples to back up her slides such as all the food signs being in red. She also seemed to know a lot about colors and the presentation was well prepared. Even though I do not know that much about colors I felt that her presentation related to me. I realized that there were no natural blue foods and that orange is a good color to have my room painted. This presentation kept my attention the whole time. I think Megan did a great job and I hope everyone likes my presentation as much as I enjoyed hers.

What a week!

This week has been so crazy! I have had several tests and it is extremely frustrating when you do not feel like you are prepared for any of them! It is about mid way through the semester and it is crunch time! It is like now or never. I am finally in my actual finance classes and have begun to realize how hard finance actually is. I guess thats why they say "If college was easy... everyone would do it". I was trying to recoup this weekend and enjoy the football game, but then we lost. It just pretty much sums up on how my week went. It probably should have been expected. I am hoping that I can pull myself together for this week. I am looking forward to the end of the month. Halloween is right around the corner as well as my birthday. My 21st birthday none the less. So hopefully things will be looking up from here.
