This month has been the most ridiculous month of my life. Also, the first week back from sprinig break has never been so intense!
Wednesday: I had Spanish II, which I am actually really getting the hang of. I took up to Spanish III in high school, but never really did that well in it. At noon I went to meet with Professor Strahler to discuss my digital portfolio, which you are looking at! He gave me some suggestions on the organization of the material within my pages.
I had a meeting with my campaigns group at 1 p.m. in the library to discuss our presentation to Conneaut Lake Park's Board of Trustees on Thursday. We realized we didn't have a lot of information that we were supposed to have for our campaign, such as: timelines for our three events, timeline for The Beach Club overall and focus group summary. Another girl in our group forgot she had the proposal that Dr. Quinn made corrections on, so we needed to make those changes as well. We needed to put the campaign on the letterhead and add the research graphs to the proposal. Finally, we had to have 20 copies of our proposal for each member of the Board of Trustees. All of this had to be done before 4 p.m. Thursday, which is when we had to leave Slippery Rock for Conneaut Lake. How stressful!
I went to work at the call center and we got 1,200 Senior Class Gift packets together. I then worked on typing everything up for the Conneaut Lake Park campaign. After supervising the day and night shift, I went to the library at 9 p.m. to meet with my group to put everything together and make sure we had all parts of the proposal we needed. We ended up using a lot of that time and didn't leave the library until 11 p.m. We decided to have our campaign printed at printing services since our proposal was 30 pages long and we all would chip in to pay for it. Our group leader, Kayla Mulligan, was going to get that done at 8 a.m. the next morning.
Thursday: I woke up at 6:30 a.m. to get everything ready for my long day I was about to have. I had my Senior Seminar course from 8 - 9:15 a.m., work at Old Navy at 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and we had to leave for the Conneaut Lake Park presentation by 4:15 p.m. A long day to start out with. While I was in my Senior Seminar class, I get a text message from Kayla saying that printing services can't get our copies done that day. So everyone needed to find some way to print four copies each and bring them to our presentations. So, I'm freaking out and going crazy because I only have 20 minutes to figure out how I'm going to print out our proposal for free before I have to leave for work at Old Navy. So I drive up to Old Main and go to the Call Center to print out the proposal.
Usually, I am really calm and collected when a stressful situation arises, but I definitely wasn't when it came to this situation. I was trying to print out the proposal and two blue lines on our letterhead wouldn't print out. So by the time I fixed that problem and had it printing out, I had 25 minutes before I had to be at work at Old Navy. So I had Kayla stop by and pick it up for me before she left for Conneaut Lake Park. Problem solved!
So I went to work at Old Navy from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. I changed into different clothes at the end of my shift for the Conneaut Lake Park presentations. Lauren Hrvatin and Josh Smith picked me up from the outlets to journey together to Conneaut Lake.
We got there a couple minutes after 5 p.m. and watched all of the presentations, except the last one. Since our project is on the Beach Club, we thought it would be only appropriate to eat and have a drink at the Beach Club. But it was closed! That is why they can't make any money! Their website says they are opened Thursday-Sunday nights. Our group was really disappointed so we ended up just going into the restaurant area of Hotel Conneaut, where we gave our presentations. We all had a really fun time! It helped to bond our group by all of us hanging out outside of a school related setting.
I ended up not arriving back at my apartment until 10 p.m. I hadn't checked my e-mail all day because I didn't have time and had 17 e-mails.
Friday: I went to work in the morning and to class. I went to my internship and Dr. Quinn came for her site visit. At 6:15 p.m. I went to Miller Auditorium to work the Galway to Broadway event for Green and White Society.
I have been doing homework the entire weekend. The only things I need to do still are my adding details to my internship journals and Quia for my Spanish course. Hopefully I can at least get Quia done before I have to work the night session tonight. Oh, and I had to read three chapters for my Organization Communication course, but there is absolutely no way that I will even fashion the idea of getting that done.
If anyone read throught that, I congratulate you. It was basically a long entry of me complaining about my busy week.
Necesito la tarea de espanol, adios!
