Advice

It's hard to believe the semester is already over, and I'm writing my final blog post. My advice to the upcoming Business 304 class is this- if you want to do well in this class you will. Angie is a really great teacher because she is always willing to help you and genuinely wants her students to do well in her class. So if you have any questions about anything definitely ask her. She gives you the opportunity to get her feedback on your assignments before she gives you a grade on them, which not only helps your grade but also helps you learn how to do things the right way. I would also make sure you get a good group for your group project. Angie gives you a chance to "speed date" other people in your class so take advantage of it. I know our class had some problems with group members, but our group pulled together and was able to work well with each other. This really makes the project so much easier; I couldn't imagine doing it if everyone in my group was a slacker. Our group found that the project ran a lot smoother if only one of the members was contacting the client directly, so the client was flooded with emails and could make a personal bond with that person. Also if at all possible try to get someone in your group who is computer savvy. That was a big help when we were forming our proposal. Good luck and enjoy the class. You will definitely learn a lot about the business world, and I really enjoyed the course.

Christmas

Since this week is a free blog topic I thought I'd talk about Christmas...since the holiday season is right around the corner. My favorite Christmas tradition is baking cookies. Every year we give cookies to all our neighbors for presents so we end up baking a ton of different kinds. I especially like making M&M ones because I have a really good recipe from my Aunt, and they're so delicious. I also really enjoy Christmas because you get to listen to fun holiday music and watch Christmassy movies. Surprisingly Hanson has one of the best CDs. It's really upbeat and jazzy. I also like Christina Aguliera's CD because she has an awesome voice. I think my all time favorite Christmas movie is Home Alone although I do really lie Elf and It's a Wonderful Life too. So basically I'm really excited for Christmas, it makes exam time seem a little less awful.
