my last spring break...

is almost over.  It has been very productive though (not that everyone wants that in a spring break, I am happy though).  I got some very good pieces for professional outfits, and I am very happy with what I got.  I also met with some contacts in different organizations.  Although I am finding that no sports teams are hiring because of lockouts, etc.  I have gained some very insightful information and I really appreciate the fact that so many people are willing to help me out!  I also had a job interview with Insight Global, we'll see what happens with that soon, but even if I don't get asked for a second interview the experience is great.  The more interviews I do the more likely I am to find a job.  I really wish that I could already have a job so I could figure out housing but I will be ecstatic if I can just graduate with a job.  I really hope that everything I am doing pays off, everybody says that I am doing a good job and that I make a good impression especially with my book.  I am glad that my book is very impressive because with this job market you need everything and anything to set you apart.

I'm glad that there is so much basketball right now because I feel like I have been watching so much TV in my spare time.  Although as  I'm sure you could guess, I am also on the computer, but I have been trying to be productive and look for other job opportunities.  I am really trying to do everything I can.  Anyways basketball, I really hope Arizona does well I am about to watch them (cross my fingers) beat UConn.. We will see what happens, all I know is my bracket is garbage but I am still loving watching the games, they are so exciting.  As far as Oregon goes I have a ticket to the CBI Championship Series (2nd game) for next Wednesday so hopefully our team is the CBI champions!  It is funny though because we are playing Creighton which is where Dana Altman use to coach.  Small world!

School starts again on Monday, I am so glad that I only have class two days a week so I can continue my job search because my senioritis is getting crazy, not so much in less productivity but more so I want to spend all my time finding a job.. Fortunately the fact that I have never been a procrastinator, keeps me ahead of others still so I am not a slacker.  Updates to come soon, a job perhaps!

Stuff

Here is something I am working on for my book

Winter Term

It has been awhile since I have blogged, it's a busy life in the shoes of a college student.  But now I am just about done with Winter Term.  I have a take home final due at 5pm tomorrow, and my Game Theory final on Thursday.  This term has been interesting, my senioritis is flaring up and all I want to do is look for jobs.      Right now it is pouring rain outside, pouring might even be an understatement it is very loud and going horizontal and my lights keep blinking, please don't let me power go out or I will be very sad!  This term I have spent a lot of time working on group projects as always but I have gotten ahead so I have never been too stressed out which is nice.  Now as I quickly approach spring break it is entering spring term which is going to be all about securing a job.  I am just about done with my book to market myself as an employee and on Tuesday I am going to have someone in the business career center look over it.  Then I need to go shopping for professional business clothes.  I am excited to get those cute little suit outfits, they remind me of my business barbie doll from when I was younger, although I don't think I will go for the purple and pink plaid blazer with the purple skirt... probably black and grey.  Spring break I am also meeting with people from both the Blazers and the Sounders/Seahawks, this is more informational, but a girl can dream that they will hire me on the spot right?  I also have a job interview with a company called Insight Global.  They are an IT staffing firm.  Other places I am looking at are any marketing places in Portland and Seattle areas.  I am especially looking at Nike (duh my dream job since middle school), SportsOne (yeah the festival in Glendale drew me in), and Sound Marketing (I saw a post on craigslist and from the website looks like a cool place and they told me to contact them when it gets close to graduation).  I am excited for spring term because I only have to take two classes so I will have time to find a job so that hopefully I will have one when I graduate.  I would love to already have a job when I graduate so I don't have to worry.  Updates to come on the job front.  I think that's all for now, but hopefully I will have a post during spring break.
