It's been a while so here's the update. School has begun and I am slowly getting into the groove of having classes again (need to get into that groove faster!). This semester I am taking four classes, three of which are Marketing classes and the last is fulfilling a corporate responsibility requirement that the program has. I like all of my classes so far although one could be questionable based on the first two lectures but I'll survive regardless. The subjects are New Product Management, Internet and e-Marketing (my favorite so far), Sales Management (the questionable one) and Corporate Governance. I'm sure those all sound so fabulous to you all. :)

It is interesting to be back at SDSU after all the CA budget cuts have been put into place. There are furlough days that are mandatory in each class and a lot less classes being offered. I definitely notice the pressure on students and professors. I'm just glad that I only have this semester and my one "culminating experience"/"thesis equivalent" class this summer, which I am definitely going to be enrolled in and then I'm out!

I also am happy to report that I interviewed and was placed in a paid internship for this semester. I'll be working with a local small business that is a sort of marketing agency (like an advertising agency that does all marketing functions for a variety of clients). I will mostly be working with their clients to help them gain a presence on the internet, specifically in social media like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. So the work is up my alley and I think the company should be really fun to work with. I just found out that I got the position a couple days ago so I'll probably start up with some work sometime next week.

Other than school and job searching, I have been finishing up organizing my life in SD, enjoying time with my friends and catching up with people I haven't seen since I've been back. I am having so much fun living with Michelle. She is such a good friend and a great roommate. Only problem is that it is affecting my sleep patterns since we end up staying up till all hours of the night hanging out and talking!

Random stuff - LOST is back and it is bittersweet. I've decided that I'm not going to be critical about it and I'm just going to enjoy what is left, which is probably pretty frustrating to my friends that want to analyze everything but there is so little left that I want to soak it all in.  And also, random, but at the end of this month I am going to Palm Springs with Kristy to see a concert that Adam is giving. Her mom got us both tickets as a surprise gift so I am really stoked to get to see him doing his own music and not just American Idol stuff.

Ok, enough of that. Well, I'm really excited to see Tom in a couple days for the little while that he'll be in San Diego and I'm trying to get a jump start on the reading I have to do for class this week before he comes so I will have time to hang out without getting behind on everything. Guess I should get on that...

As you were.
