So yeah, Im currently looking for an internship for this summer. For those of you reading this that dont know me too well, I am a first year MBA Student at BYU. Now, the school career center keeps on sending out these mass emails to try to get us (the MBA students) to remember that the MOST important thing we can do is get an internship, because if you get one it just about guarantees that you will find a job after graduation.
Now, here is where the paradox starts. You see, the MBA program wants us to get internships (and we are pretty much left to ourselves as to where to apply and how to go about getting one), and yet this first semester we have more homework than any one person could possibly get done in a 60 hour week. As living proof of this, I have not had 1 week yet where I actually got everything done, so each week I actually get further and further behind on my HW. Its like a snowball thats rolling down the mountain. Im trying to melt it with a flamethrower at the same time, but its just getting bigger and bigger despite all my efforts. It sucks!
So, the Career center has given all of us first year students something called a "Sherpa." Its basically a second year student who acts as a guide for us, really though its just some dude who signed up for this position cause it would look like good service on his resume. Now, self interest doesnt bother me much, however if this guy is gonna do this he could at least be of some USE!! Its sad really, because all he has done is give me a list of crap that I have to get done in my free time! FREE TIME?! What free time?!
Honestly, I barely have enough time to sneeze and wipe my nose; thats how busy I am. So, Im griping I konw, but I just cant get over how much work they give us and then how much extra time they expect us to spend doing extra stuff. Its terrible, and I dont know how Im possibly going to get everything done...oh well.
I made a solemn promise to myself that I would NOT stress out this semester no matter HOW bad it got. I have held to my promise up till now (its been a month of school 1/4 the way done with the first semester, hell yeah!) and Im committed to staying strong about it. Wish me luck!

Nate, you are the winner this week. As long as you didnt cheat (I should post a note bout the Movie Quote saying that you arent allowed to cheat and look it up on the internet.) Actually, I think Ill do that right now. If you cant tell, Im really enjoying messing around with the code of my blog page.
