Week 11

This week in class has been anything but easy. It is getting more stressful by the second. I have so many due dates that all hit me at one time. I'm learning how procrastination doesn't work for this class. I'm learning very quickly too. Though, on the good side of this class...I FINALLY got an email back from Amanda. We meet tomorrow at starbucks at 10:30 to talk and interview. I am beyond excited and so is she. This is a potential mentor so I am extremely excited to meet her.
But, Mrs. Secord said I had to interview with one more person before I pick my mentor. It would be easier to interview someone else if people returned phone calls or emailed me back.
On top of all of this... my board is due Thursday! I have not started it. I have not bought paper. I have done nothing. So I really need to do that this week and as soon as possible.
As I said, it's getting more stressful and stressful as we get farther and father into the year. Hopefully I can get myself back up to pace soon.

Week 10

This week I have patiently, patiently, patiently waited on an email back from Amanda. Which I have not gotten. I'm starting to stress out because nobody wants to interview with me and nobody will answer or return my phone calls. It is extremely frustrating. I want to find my mentor but I cannot do that when nobody returns my phone calls or responds to my emails.
We just started speeches and I think mine is on Wednesday. They seem pretty easy and self explanatory. Though, I have to start making my power point for my speech which is going to take me forever because of how OCD I am about things. So, I really need to get a start on that. I think the speech will be pretty easy. I very comfortable in front of my classmates and I think it will be an easy thing to do.
I really need to get on some of my assignments though. I am late late late on my research assessment. Though the only reason I am late is because it is getting harder and harder to find articles for my topic.
Hopefully this week I can catch up and get up to speed with things.

Week 9

This past week in ISM, I have attempted to schedule more interviews. Though, I think I might have already found my mentor. Amanda, she works at Events by Kristin. She was my first interview and I loved her. She was a phone interview so I have emailed her to try and setup a face to face interview. My fear is that she wont have time to be my mentor. Being a wedding planner is very time consuming, so I fear that it would be asking alot to be my mentor.
I have tried to set up more interviews but I have a hard time getting ahold of people. Still, nobody returns my calls or emails, which is why I am coming to the conclusion that Amanda is meant to be.
I hope to get that face to face interview to ask her if she is willing to do it. It will be interesting to see what happens. Hopefully, she says yes and will get as excited as I am about her being my mentor.
