Too Damn Busy
I have been too damn busy the past week or so. After getting done with finals I was hoping that I would have tons of spare time to have fun but it hasn't been the case. Things that have tied me up:
Cleaning Checks: I know for sure that a Cleaning Check is the most torturous punishment ever created for a college student. It needs to stop NOW. Why has no one ever revolted to wipe it out from colleges? I was lucky not to get the kitchen this time. I still remember how they mercilessly failed me for the kitchen last time. I had to clean the bathroom and the bedroom this time so it wasn't as bad as the last time.
We made a short trip to WalMart to get the stuff we needed. Man, that All-purpose psycho cleaner thing is amazing. After wiping out the ceiling, and the walls with the All-purpose cleaner I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed the sink until it looked brand new. Then I worked on the toilet bowl for some time, mopped the floor, and viola! The bathroom was brand new. The bedroom part was really easy, I got my friend to do it.
Moving: Moving is another pain in the butt. I did not even want to move for just 2 months but those stupid apartment people made me do it. They already sold the contract for the place I was staying at to somebody else so I had to move. I was mad but I could do nothing. It was stupid of me to not go sign the contract earlier. The best thing though was that I got to move to an apartment in the same floor. I haven't bothered to put things in place yet because I am only here for a couple of months. It is a mess right now. I may or may not fix it.
Classes: Spring Classes started on Tuesday and I already have a lot of homework to do. Spring goes by really fast because they try to pack a semester worth of work in two months. This means we have longer classes, more homework each week, and exams almost every other week. On top of that I am taking 9 credits which is equivalent to 18 for a semester so I am really screwed. I have 3 papers due on Monday. Thankfully, I already did two of those at work. Ha!
Playoffs: How can I not make time for the playoffs? The Jazz-Houston series has been tight and the Mavs-Warriors series has been simply superb. There is no way I am going to miss any of it.
Anyway, things are looking up. Two of the classes I am taking, Strategic Management and Managerial Economics, are very interesting. We actually play an online simulation game on the Strategic Management class. Each one of us gets to run a business and compete with our fellow class members in a highly competitive industry. We need to implement strategies for just about everything - Production, Marketing, Sales, Human Resource, Tax etc. They grade us on a lot of stuff like profit, ROA, ROE etc., so we need to be able to implement a perfect strategy to win. I think I am going to kick ass in this game.

Woah, the game sounds like a good time! What's the industry you're competing in?
Also, it's voila (French)... =)
It's the microprocessor industry. Not too savvy, but the program makes it interesting. We just did our first industry analysis and need to make decisions soon.
Oh and thanks for correcting my mistake
