I just finished my last Ops lecture, and I’m in the library again.  I’ve been averaging about 4 hours a day or more here, for the last 4 days.  Hopefully it will be worth it and I can do decent on my finals next week.  Then I’ve got a 1 day break in Baltimore for the L’arc concert, then back here for a week and a half of “the case,” which means (probably) a lot of work in a concentrated amount of time.  Then I have about 3 days to pack up everything, go to St. Louis for a week, and head to Japan.

This next month is going to fly by.  Leave me comments.

It’s been a long week filled with the I-Core Red Case. Had to research and do mock business consulting for a Russian Ice-Cream company called Ice-Fili. That’s all said and done. I think our group did really good; the judges had lots of nice comments afterwards. Took Saturday off, and starting Sunday I will be seriously studying a lot for I-Core finals. I can’t wait until Japan….maybe I will be able to relax for real.

I just spent 45 minutes making phone calls, primarily to UITS and related departments. I’m supposed to get information on the Fiber-Optics network that we need to use for the IUSTV InfoChannel. These people keep transferring me around, giving me other phone numbers to call, bla bla bla. I’m a bit disgruntled now.

I also need to study a lot this weekend. I’m such a slacker. >_<

I-Core started up today. It’s lectures right now, but I think once we start doing projects it will be a bit more exciting. Rubinstein is a funny guy. He’s a large man who used to be a motivational speaker, if that gives you a general idea of what he might be like. His favorite thing is to call us all “Kelleys,” and say stuff like “Kelleys don’t skip class.” Finance was a bit boring, but I’m going to try to keep up.

The new place is really nice. It’s odd having a big place like this to myself (well, not all to myself; I’ve got John Ho staying here for a few days). I’m thinking it’s good to at least have someone else here, otherwise things might get too boring. If you’re in Bloomington, come drop by!

Just finished my Japanese final. It wasn’t too bad, so I’m good. On the other hand, my Managerial Accounting exam is in 4 hours. I’m boned on that one.

In case I haven’t told you, I found a place to stay in Bloomington over the summer. Got a great deal on a townhouse, all to myself. The smallest bedroom is locked for storage, but the rest of the place is mine. Here’s the floorplan:

So far today has definitley been one of the best days I’ve had in a long time. First, took my Japanese test and did really well on it. Hardly any uncertainties. Then, picked up a few copies of “The Herald Times” (Bloomington newspaper), with a story about Hoosier Date? smack dab on the front page. I was quoted in the article even! Anyways, after that, Dad and Alex came to visit. Had lunch, showed Al the campus, etc. It would be good if he went to IU, even if I’m not here next fall (going to Japan!)
