Registration

Bright and early this morning (8am early) I registered for my LAST semester of grad school!! wahoooo!!!

Wait...really, my last semester?? I can't believe it's just right around the corner! We have less than 6 more weeks of class, then exams start. I don't have any exams per say this semester, but 1 paper and 1-2 presentation/reports due by December 7. I'm trying to finish everything before the 7th because I have a wedding at home on the 8th, but I may have to end up coming back for a presentation on the 10th.

Anyways, for next semester I am currently registered for Consumer Behavior, Business Relationship Management, & Services Management. I'm applying to get into the Consumer Practicum class, but that application process doesn't start for another few weeks. It's a new class offered at NCSU put together by Dr. Wood. She is the consumer behavior professor, and I'm really excited for the opportunity to work with her!

If this schedule stands, I'll only have classes on Tuesday and Wednesday along with at least 2 meetings per week for the practicum. It's definitely vastly different than first year with all our classes during the day, Mon-Thurs!

Girls Weekend!

Last weekend, 6 of my best friends from high school came into town for our annual girls reunion weekend. Erica has a 4 bedroom house in Cary, so this year we decided to make Raleigh/Cary our reunion destination. Everyone came into town on Friday afternoon, and we started out with lunch and shopping at Cameron Village-pretty much a must see for anyone out of town!

Erica and I took care of appetizers and dinner for Friday night since we didn't have to travel anywhere. We stayed around Cary Friday night because our friend Katie is pregnant, and she could only stay one night. We had a great time catching up on everything going on in all of our oh so busy lives!

Saturday was absolutely beautiful, so we hit the pool for a few hours then came back to the house for happy hour! We arranged for White Horse to pick us up that night to go downtown for dinner/bars for the evening. We ate at Humble Pie, then walked over to Oxford where we met a few other friends.

Everyone left fairly early Sunday morning, but it was a great weekend-even though it was short! It's so rare that high school friends stay so close, and we are making sure it continues!
