The Ventures of MissBiz

This is a journal of my personal ventures in business, as a business student, and as a student in life. This is a blog for me, but if you'd like to follow along - you might be in for a wicked ride!

Chaos and Robbery Before 9:30am

I was the first in line today to pick up my Student ID and my UPass (bus pass) at 8:45 am. Things didn't go as smoothly as I was hoping. Let's just say that before 9:30 am, I saw the Management Chair, the Registrar (three times), and the Academic Advisor in order to be considered a full-time student for this semester. In order to be a full-time student one must take 3 courses a semester and one of those three courses I have to take at Dalhousie because (joy!) SMU isn't offering it (this issue in itself is a whole other can of worms). So before I was approved by the above sources, I was not considered a full-time student at SMU - meaning I cannot recieve my UPass, and may have complications with living on campus since you must be full time to do so. But as far as I know, everything is straightened out. For now.

This whole ordeal served as somewhat of a distraction to the fact that I was robbed first thing this morning. Before jumping through the aforementioned hoops, I purchased the books required for my two courses - Retail Management (actually a Marketing course) and The Study of The Novel. $250.00. Two courses. I'm in business, but this is highway robbery. If there was such a thing as "legal robbery" this would be a Grade A example of the definition.

It's been about a week since I sent in my business name to the government. I have to call them today to see what the hold up is. I have the design for my business cards and other stationary chosen, but I am in a deadlock until I know what is going on with the name.

In the meanwhile, I am working on a project for a client that is very interesting and new for me since I have not researched much into their industry or target market before. I will absolutely not discuss client/ consultant information or projects since it is strictly confidential, and I take that very seriously. But I do a lot of research and reading and I can discuss anything I find particularly interesting along the way.

Keep Bizzy
