Semester 5 It’s 12:56, and I’ve decided to start writing a blog post. This is probably not the most intelligent thing to do, considering that I’ve got a big job interview early tomorrow morning. But then again, I did just have dinner with my Ex which is never an intelligent thing to do either, so might as well continue on with the inanity.
As mentioned, I’ve got a job interview tomorrow; a 2nd interview to be exact, applying for the position of Marketing Department Manager for a Chinese tour and travel company. And if it were only a question of popularity, I think I should have it in the bag: I’m Mr “Go Commando” (childhood nickname, the unfortunate result of a Spanish-style combination of family surnames).

Semester 5 
One year ago today I got married to my beautiful wife Jennifer. It’s hard to believe that it has been one year, not only because the time has flown by, but also because of the year that it has been.
Like any couple, there was plenty of last minute planning and decisions needed for the wedding to go off without a hitch. We decided to have a Saturday late-afternoon ceremony in August, which in the Mid-Atlantic region means “hot with a chance of thunderstorms.” The night before (our rehearsal dinner), there was rain, so the possibility of rain was in the back of everyone’s minds. After dinner, we arrived at the hotel to meet and welcome our guests, but as much of a traditionalist as I am, I actually behaved myself and drove home early (rather than, say, re-enacting The Hangover…)
When I woke up that Saturday, it was a bit of a hazy sunny morning. In keeping with the responsibility angle, I woke up early not just to make sure all of the wedding plans were in order, but also to study. Yes, I actually studied on my wedding day.

Semester 5 Deciding on whether or not to do a concentration is tough decision, does it make you more attractive or less attractive to potential employers? What if you can’t find a job in the field you picked? What if you aren’t good enough in the field you picked? Is a concentration really worth the extra effort? The answer to these questions are probably as varied as the number of people that attempt to answer them.
Personally, I decided to go with a concentration in Finance, I wanted to stay close to decision modeling & statistics since I enjoyed those classes the most and actually liked the concepts presented in finance despite it’s obvious presentation issues. My choice of electives reflects my obvious quantitative fixation. I picked corporate finance, financial statement analysis, investments and strategy implementation. I don’t think I will do well all of these classes but like Sarah Johnston said, I would rather do something I enjoy than be good at something I don’t.
