3 Days of Class Left!

Last week flew by and this week is going to fly by just as fast! Well hopefully! Last week I had my Organizational Behavior presentation. My group killed our presentation, we were one of the best in the class I must say. Today I had a presentation in Data Decision and Analysis. It went smoothly but it was kind of awkward because all of the groups came to a consensus outside of class that we all didn't really know what to present. My group was the first one to present today so I guess that was good and bad. Good in being that there were no expectations, bad in that we couldn't change our presentation if we missed something. I have three more days of class and then this semester is over, THANK GOD! This has been by far the worst semester of my college career. Probably because I was so unmotivated at the beginning and switched my major.

On the sports front, Notre Dame's coach Charlie Weis was let go after finishing the season 6-6. Really disappointing because 1) I had much higher expectations for Weis and Notre Dame and 2) Jimmy Clausen declared for the NFL Draft rather than playing in his senior season. Notre Dame also declined a bowl game this season which I thought was unfortunate. Clausen will be one of the top quarterbacks in this years draft, along with Tim Tebow of Florida, Colt McCoy of Texas, and Sam Bradford of Oklahoma.

My UConn Huskies received a bowl game however against South Carolina in the PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Alabama. UConn had a strong season ending 7-5 but with multiple close losses. They lost to undefeated Cincinnati by 2, Pittsburgh by 3, West Virginia by 4, and North Carolina by 2. Either way, I'm really excited to watch UConn in a bowl game this January.

UConn basketball is coming along, although I have a feeling its not going to be the season I want it to be. They just played Harvard which should have been a blow out and barely won, 79-73. They play Kentucky next which is going to be a tough game. At 6-1 their only loss is to Duke, but it wasn't even a close game and so far UConn has only played easy opponents, besides Duke. Kentucky will definitely test their defense and scoring might be tough. They lost so many players last year that this season might be a rebuilding season, but in UConn Country, we're always looking for a National Championship.

With winter break almost here, I've been thinking about a second job. I won't be working in the admissions office over break, so it will just be Banana Republic and I'm not getting too many hours there. I've been looking for jobs, but right now everything is seasonal and I really want to find a part time job that won't end in January.

Now I need to find something to wear to Winter Ball on Thursday. A Black Tie affair that I probably won't be wearing black to.
