The Last Peaceful Night

After the adventure I had this morning, I spent the rest of today trying to absorb the last few droplets of freedom until school begins tomorrow morning.

I flipped through my obscenely expensive text and novels I purchased earlier today, and I think I am going to fully enjoy these two courses *knock on wood*. For The Study of The Novel course, I will be reading:

• The Hours by Michael Cunningham
• Foe by J.M Coetzee
• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
• Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
• The Novel: An Anthology of Criticism and Theory 1900-2000 by Dorothy J. Hale
  

Even though I am extremely into entrepreneurship and marketing (which are my 2 majors), for some unexplicable reason I have always, always been huge on recreational reading and writing. I have absolutely no idea why, but it's been a continual pattern in my life (which may explain the implementation of this blog..). So therefore, what I am trying to say is that despite the copious amounts of commerce (accounting, economics, marketing, management, and finance) courses I've taken over the years, it's the English electives that really allow me to express my ideas, thoughts, and opinions about the business aspect of my life. Which is why I thoroughly appreciate my position at The Journal (Editor or not) - I can flawlessly combine my two fascinations - composition and commerce.

Speaking about business writing - last year I entered *three* business plans into the Saint Mary's University "What's The Big Idea" Competition, and two of my teams won the top two prizes. That was awesome. Actually, the W.T.B.I competition actually pushed me to start my business. You can see the results of the competition here:

Anyway. Still no word from Corporate Affairs about the business name. I am still forging ahead beautifully with my clients' project. It would just make things so much more "official" by having a business name. In due time, I suppose. I can't wait to finally expose what my business is to everyone! I'm very excited about it because I love what I am doing. I'm a very excitable person anyway...

In the meanwhile, I'll be adding various links and fun stuff to this blog shortly ("my blog fellowship", my MissBiz articles from The Journal (and possibly even the PDF files for the entire paper), my source page, about me pages, video blogs, pictures, etc..). If you come across weird links, dead links, or anything mysterious on this site for the next few weeks - just remember this is a work in progress.

Stay Tuned and...

Keep Bizzy
