Getting Ready for Year 2

My paper is done, turned in and graded. Year 1 is officially behind me. I believe one of the plethora of forms that I turned in with my paper officially acknowledges that.

Now I'm prepping for Year 2, both academically and socially.

My first academic task is turning my Year 1 paper into a board/management PowerPoint presentation of my marketing plan. I'll admit, while I've done many PowerPoint presentations in my life, and presented many justifications for projects, this project is giving me a bit of writer's block! I usually don't use the notes function of PowerPoint (I prefer to "wing it" when public speaking), so having to think about what I'm going to say before I say it is a challenge. This will be one of the most planned presentations that I've done in my life; hopefully it goes as smoothly as my extemporaneous ones!

My social task, as a class officer, is to help plan the events that will take place May 14 - 22, 2012, in Dallas. If you are reading this blog because you are thinking about attending as a Year 1, we hope that we have put together a nice balance of activities and down time. Some days when you get back from class, your mind is definitely hanging the "Brain is full" sign on your forehead. If you're reading the blog as a current Year 2, we've taken the feedback that you provided last May to put together our schedule. Stay tuned!
