Unlike most schools, our fall quarter lasts from late September to mid-December. This means that most people got a break after Labor Day. Even though I don’t officially start my quarter until Wednesday, I’m already playing catch-up in terms of school work (early, condensed direct marketing class), regular work (short-term paid research project) and club stuff (Women in Business and BizComm). Therefore, I spent five hours this afternoon at a local coffee shop hammering away at a PowerPoint presentation, sending and responding to emails regarding the research project, and making sure that I’ve covered all of the bases for the four club events I’ve helped plan between now and December. It’s all coming together but I really needed that 5 hour time to just focus and knock some stuff out. I’m still helping with new MBA orientation on Monday and Tuesday. This shouldn’t be too hard. The toughest part is remembering where I have to be and what time to be there.

Tomorrow I’m meeting with my Direct Marketing team. We have a presentation due on Monday and another short one due on Friday. It’s going to be a wild week but most of it should be interesting….and I mean interesting in a good way.
