New Sem!

Finally started the new sem! The break has really got on my nerves ... no, seriously, I mean the break really got on my nerves. Too looooo----oooong. Two to three weeks is plenty time to recuperate after the last sem. But one month?! I was starting to think I might feign insanity and see if I actually DID go insane. But anyways, it's great to be back at school ... work, not so much. I think I've been there too long. But hey, I need the money, right?

So here's a breakdown of my courses for this sem:

Accounting 2020 - Managerial Accounting
Accounting 3130 - Business Law and Ethics
Management 3110 - Organization and Management
Management 3215 - Management of Human Resources
Management 3510 - Business Communication
Finance 3410 - Business Finance
Finance 2220 - Personal Finance
Music 1910 - Private Piano Instruction
Music 1550 - Piano Ensemble

... for a grand total of 25 credit hours!

So I'm totally motivated this semester ... no, really, seriously. 4.0, here I come! I believe I'll be able to accomplish that goal this sem, and I intend on seeing it through.

The Student Delegate Board seems to finally be in order now. Dave, Sarah, and I got together last Wednesday and came up with some pretty good ideas that the SDB could work on this sem. Dave and I took the ideas to the board on Friday and the rest of the board seemed pretty agreeable with the ideas, all of which I really like and believe they will work. The board has some new blood this sem ... we've got 6 new members. Hopefully all the motivation and hype will not die down over the sem, but will continue persist and our projects can be accomplished.

The Golden Key Honor Society has got off to a good start too. We had our officer transition meeting two Saturdays ago and we're pretty motivated, but personally, I don't think we're as motivated as the SDB. However, we've got some pretty good project coming up too. The Go Green campaign is going to be a biggie ... requires lots of planning and it's a pretty major task, but I believe Katie is up to it. We're going to be working with the environmental club on campus and we're trying to get recycling bins all over campus. Which reminds me, I need to get all that paper junk in my room out and re-cy-cled. We're also going to have a Valentine's day event ... I'm thinking a dinner at a local restaurant. We're going to book half if not the whole restaurant, have a menu, and then sell tickets for it ... in efforts to raise funds for the chapter. Also looking forward to the International Conference at the end of July in New Orleans. Matter of fact, I just had a meeting about an hour ago with Elizabeth Knott from international headquarters and she gave some really good ideas on how to raise funds.

Anyways, that's about it for the first week and a half of school. Looking forward to a great sem!

p.s. btw, the U of Memphis men's basketball team is now ranked No. 1! Go Tigers!
