TGIT!

(Thank god it's Thanksgiving! Or, Thanksgiving break, rather.)

Finals have FINALLY finished. Thank goodness. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it out of them alive or not. I did, which I guess I will have to be Thankful for on Thursday, but I don't think my GPA will be so lucky. Either way, ICORE is almost all said and done, with the exception of the 10 day case coming up between Thanksgiving and Christmas Breaks. I am hoping my group can some how rise to the occasion and pull of an A so I maybe have SOME hope of an A in at least one of my classes and not have to settle for all B's! Though, when all is said and done, I guess I would be ok with that.

I am also hoping I'll be back to a more regular blogging pace here in the near future. I am crossing my fingers that I'll have my laptop back by the end of this week, but we will see!! Regardless, being home in good old Newburgh, Indiana at my parent's house for the week, there will at least be quite a few updates coming to you in the next few days!

My main priority is going to be to get a Bucket Game blog out there, because Saturday was full of all sorts of interesting little tidbits and pictures I HAVE to share. So hopefully that will be to you later tonight or tomorrow!!

College, Round 3.

Dear GOD! I am clearly no good at keeping up with these things! I'm sure I've said I'll make an effort to do so multiple times in previous posts, but maybe this time it will actually work.

SO I find myself in the beginning of "ICORE", the infamous semester of INTEGRATED Core classes the Kelley School of Business is known for. The students often refer to this as the hardest semester, and I've definitely got to hold my A game up to keep my head above water, but so far so good. I'm excited to finally be taking my first college-level Marketing class. Even more excited at my recent discovery that if singly majoring in Marketing, I'd have WAY too much extra time on my hands. So for a mere five extra classes I can tack on a full Operations Management major as well as an Economics minor. Operations is more for practical purposes, but I'm actually looking forward to the Economics minor. The subject isn't something I'm ENTIRELY intrigued with, but it's definitely practical stuff that can be interesting and definitely is useful in day to day life, and not to mention business practices.

Another recent revelation in my life is my ever growing love for motorsports. Now we all know I've always been into Indy Racing and Formula 1, and I've been to a few MotoGP races in Monterey and Indianapolis. However, the MotoGP race we went to in Indy last weekend has me completely gung ho for the sport! I think I ultimately like it better since the races are a little shorter and in turn offer a more intense spectating experience. Not to mention the fact that the Kentucky Kid Nicky Hayden is a total babe. ;-) Hey, I'm a girl, what can you really expect??! Now I just need to remember to set some races to record on SpeedVision (A CHANNEL I RECENTLY DISCOVERED WE HAVE!!!) and I'll be good to go.
