Andorra Mission to the UN/US

Yesterday I met with the Ambassador of Andorra (a small country located between France and Spain).  He told Marianna and I some interesting stories, some of which were probably too sensitive.

Turns out he had an alternative motive.  He was kind of smoozing me to try to hire me to be an external consultant, considering my current employment status, I'd so be game for that!

Nats 2011 at West Point

This past weekend (Friday-Sunday) was APDA Nationals at the United States Military Academy at West Point.  The weekend was tons of fun but super exhausting as well.  I helped out al ot more than I should have, lol.  I finally caught up on sleep today!!!

The weekend was great, I got to see a lot of my friends and made a ton of new ones.

Friday night I went to be at 4:45 AM and somehow woke up at 8 PM and on Saturday I went to bed around 6 AM and woke up at 10 AM.  Needless to say I was exhausted Sunday morning - which is a rare stage to see me in.


Some highlights of the weekend:
Friday

• Fun train ride up to West Point with Faye, Greg and Ryne
• Playing with guns!

Saturday

• Bull riding with Em in our skirts
• Banquet with some hiliarious senior speeches and wearing my old my prom dress
• Colin trying to hit on me
• Dealing with a very drunk Harry Murphy - Murphy's Mission.  A large and in charge drunk Harry had fallen asleep in Matt Katz's bed, could not be woken up.  After a longgg time and lots of nudging, we finally managed to wake him up.  We eventually got him to Matt's car where he drove him to his hotel.  However once we got there, we weren't sure exactly what his room number was.  We walked to the room, then tried the key, however it did not work.  We continued to try the next 7 doors, none of which worked.  We then headed back to the car, when Bear decided that Harry could just crash in their room.  We drove back and he just passed out on a recliner.  Oh Harry!

Sunday

• Tyger teaching me how to 2 step in the TOC room
• Fun car ride with Tyler to the train station

 

Overall, a great weekend!  Great job West Point Speech & Debate!

Hell Week is OVERRRR

My sister, mom and dad left for Boston at 3 AM this morning for an accepted students day at Boston University.  I think J-Dawg's going to be going there and leaving :(

And looks like the pot luck I was going to go to today got cancelled, so I guess I'll be home alone til they get home.

Thursday turned out to be 'Hell Day" as I called it, just so much work to do.  But it's all over now!  Thursday was the last day of classes at GBA.  I'm essentially done now, minus the hybrid law class in which I have a 30-50 page paper due.  Good times!

I was so exhausted today I went out on a coffee break (and ended up with an Oringina) and took a nap as soon as I got home!

Networking for Entrepreneurs

 

Today was the big event that I was planning for my "Communications for Entrepreneurs" class.

The event went rather smoothly, the name tags, table signs and event signs I made went well, most of the people showed up and there was plenty of food!

We presented our ideas to guests of our classmates in a “speed networking” format. We were given four minutes to present our “1-minute pitch” and then receive questions and feedback from the contacts on how we could improve their ideas. After the four minutes, we would move to the next table and give their pitch again.

  I had Joe and Greg at my table, which was cool, I love those guys! We were also placed next to Heidi and her sister Bonnie who are really fun girls!

The event was a lot of fun!!! I had such a great time I stayed there til 10:30 PM - one hour past the set end time!  We even closed out the restaurant!

NY State Tournament

The past 2 days, I judged at the new NY State tournament at Brooklyn Tech.  The tournament itself was kind of ehh, but the hanging out part was fun.  I got to see and hang out with a lot of friends who I havent seen in a while--Caitlin, Andy, Andrew, Matt, Mira, Taarini, Lev, Tom and of course Jon, just to name a few

I stayed with Caitlin last night, which was a lot of fun.  Caitlin, Andy and I went out for dinner at Umi Nom, this cute Asian restaurant last night.  Afterward Caitlin and I wandered around Fort Green for dessert, and ended up getting this salty/sweet caramel sundae thing.

Today was a lot more fun, but dull at the same time.  I judged up til semis and didn't squirrel!!! :)

Took me 2 hours to get home though... I"m so done for the night lol
