Time flies by too quickly. I enjoy learning new things which makes my classes enjoyable. Plus there are pretty much the same students in all my classes so we end up really getting to know each other. Lesson 1: I had applied to become a Laison for a Thunderbird event (Global Business Dialoge) and had filled out the required application form and submitted my resume by the deadline, or so I thought. It was not until other students were dressed in their spify, nice suits that I ask "what was the occasion?" and was told they were getting their pictures taken for the Laison, didn't I get the email? (I've heard that line before) After talking to the admin I learned that I was never on the list, their records did not show I ever submitted a resume. Going forward when applying for anything I will need to check with career management office to make sure everything went through properly. I meet another student that the same thing happened to him. Good ol' technology. Love it when it works but hate it when it doesn't. To back track, the Laison event is where 50+ top executive at various companies like: BP, Target, Walmart, GE, Johnson & Johnson, and many other global and domestic companies will be on campus and giving over 25 lectures over a 2 day period. And those that are selected will be a laison for one executive for the two days. What an opportunites to have a one-on-one time with a big company top executive. Oh, well. I'm still excited for the event, it will be an excellent learning opportunity and help refine my skills.
Next Week is the finals for the 1st module, it's that time already? The good news is that I have only one presentation and one test. The rest of my classes keep going till December so the final will be then.
