But to really celebrate the completion of another class…it was time for Women’s Weekend!  First up, was a wonderful cocktail party at Tallent.  We had a wonderful turnout of second and first years who could mingle with all the great Kelley prospectives.  Then it was off to the Bluebird for the highlight of our week, the Faculty Auction!  Most of our professors donated events and experiences, ranging from dinner, wine tastings, laser tag, basketball and even 10 hours of cabana boy duties.  We had a great turnout and I was able to get in on a couple events: Superbowl party with our future statistic modeling professor, BBQ with one of the accounting professors, dinner with the director of student services and a knitting lesson with my buddy.  Can’t wait to collect on all my prizes, will be a great way to celebrate the end of the core! Although I can’t wait until the spring to watch my fellow first years dominate my Accounting professor and his team of professors at Assembly Hall.  Go Class of ‘11!

Painful Powerpoint

Yesterday we had an 8 hour Powerpoint presentation scheduled for us by the LPCD.  Everyone was confused on why it needed to be 8 hours, aren’t Powerpoints supposed to short and succinct?  Regardless on our expectations and questions we arrived at the auditorium at 8:00 for what we thought would be a Powerpoint for Dummies presentation.

A few minutes in, we learned that the presentation was not about using Powerpoint, but how to make a presentation.  While many of us had similar classes in undergrad, it felt like a waste of 8 hours.  The presenter didn’t really understand the needs of the audience and it was run like a mad house.  I think he lost most of us about an hour in, and many of his stories about Michael Douglas still couldn’t bring us back.  It was a rough day.  Unlike many of my classmates I hadn’t brought any homework with me so I didn’t get caught up at all during all of our downtime.

I did get a coffee break at Sugar and Spice and had lunch at Laughing Planet so I guess the day wasn’t a total wash.

We came back to the apartment after, to just the dehumidifier.  They finally took the fans, we are getting that much closer to normalcy!  Hopefully they will take the dehumidifier soon as well.  After a short nap, we headed back to campus for a Meet the Faculty reception.  After some appetizers we headed back home to have dinner with our friends/classmates. We ended up hanging out until the wee hours of the morning, and had to pull the boys away from Digital Trivial Pursuit.  Was a great way to end a not so good day.
