Alumni

UNC Charlotte

Last night my boyfriend and I went to the UNCC Belk College alumni event. This one was my second, his first. We both graduated from UNCC with marketing degrees and became friends in golf class our last semester after I hit him with a ball.

The alumni event was held at Howl at the Moon, a dueling piano bar at the EpiCenter. It was our first time there and we really enjoyed ourselves. The even was only $15 per person and included heavy finger foods and two drink tickets, not bad! We met the CFO of Duke energy (class of '77) and he kept us company while we looked completely lost at the bar. The event was sold out but we didn't chat with too many people, most stuck to their cliques.

I won a bobble head during the raffle and David from Duke killed my name but I am more shocked when people get it right then when they don't. Afterwords, we met the new Dean. Joe's a nice fella and is a complete opposite of Dean Lily. I think I like him. :)

We had a great time and can't wait till the next alumni event.

GMAT in the Queen City

It’s been a while since I’ve ventured over to my blog but I have a good excuse, GMAT prep classes!
Exciting, I know. Although, I must say, my instructor was overly enthusiastic about the topic and that made the class less dreadful.

If anyone is interested in taking any type of test prep at UNCC , make sure it’s with Steven Shoots, he’ll make it worth the $999.
Well, I haven’t taken the exam yet so we’ll see.

The last time I posted was right before the Miracle on the Hudson . Since then, there have been several crashes, one of them commercial last Thursday. After reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell I’m even more disturbed by flying. Read the book, it’s awesome for more reasons than what it takes to crash an airplane.

In other news, I’m trying to get promoted. There’s this amazing job that has opened up that I’m drooling over. I’ve had five interviews for it and now I’m waiting for a decision. Last I’ve heard it’s between me and another candidate. I’m going to go ahead and set myself up for disappointment but stay optimistic.
