B School New Year's Resolutions

Keep learning and keep up the grades -- Goods & Excellents only. Gonna take dilegence, teamwork, focus, and balance.

Launch a business - Michigan Business Challenge and Urban Entrepreneurship Class helped -- going to use Zell Laurie www.zli.bus.umich.edu and Frankel www.frankelfund.com/  (and 1,000 other resources at Ross) to keep things moving forward.

Lose the weight I gained during Fall A & B (stop making cookies? Make more baked chicken?) plus 20 more. Tall order, but I can do it!

Get ready for Ironman St George, Coeur D'alene, and Lousiville (May / June / August)    12:59:59 time goal. All it takes is hard work and early mornings.  Good thing I have the best training partner ever! 

Jersey shore and theme parties.

I’ve never seen the Jersey Shore show. That didn’t stop me from attending the Jersey Shore party.  Or sporting all my gold chains and flexing the tattoo. Couldn’t exactly gel the hair, but I did sport the wife beater.

This is the latest in a long line of theme parties – Saints and Sinners, Southern Club Pig Roast…  The costume stores in Ann Arbor stay busy. Joe, our fearless section leader, sported the Stewie Griffin costume along the way (Check Allison's shout off blog entry for a picture), and I’ve been seen wearing a kilt a time or two here at B School. (Mom’s side of the family is Scottish, so I’m legit!)

Gotta love it!

BBSA

I’ve been really delighted by my participation in the Black Business Students Association at Ross. I’ve been voted Parliamentarian, and am responsible for meeting procedure and rewriting the club’s charter.

We’ve had speakers from a number of great companies, and our meetings and fellowship provide a great way to fellowship outside of classes.

The annual conference brought students from several schools, alumni from across the country and faculty and professionals who provided a myriad of opportunities to network and learn.
