I have just two more classes left before Summer semester comes to an end. I am amazed with how much I have learned in such a short amount of time. I have discussed the impact of educators on the lives of those they teach before. I had “one of those professors” this semester. Not only [...]

I’m back. Yes! For my 3rd consecutive post. And it feels good. Finding the time to post regularly, get good grades, keep my apartment clean, work and actively relax (we’ll save the definition of actively relax for a different post) requires time management…a topic with which I have a love-hate relationship. On a typical Saturday [...]

Decisions…decisions. (I’ll make this post short, because I don’t have any pictures for you to look at!) While I never necessarily planned to get a Phd, I’ve never really pictured an end to my academic career. However, in order to continue my education after my M.S. in Hospitality Management, I have to write a thesis. [...]

Dear few, yet very loyal, readers, I’m sorry I abandoned you for so long. To ease the heartache you’ve experienced, I am here to provide you with an extra special announcement. I submitted my application to graduate school! Remember when I sent out a possible-too-subtle message to my professors who had not written letters of [...]

We’ve all have had them. Well…I hope that we all have had them. memorable professors The reasons that they were memorable differ. However, at various times throughout your life you’ll be reminded of the lessons you learned and the memorable professors you learned them from. Some of my favorites include… a high-energy, absolutely hilarious business [...]

School started yesterday for Florida colleges and universities. Not for me. I’m not going to school this semester, because I need to prioritize. I was supposed to take the semester off to get my grad school application in order. While I have plenty of time to do this (and I halfway intend to do it), [...]

On December 15th, I posted my end of the year  to-do list. I am a bit humored as I report to you that the only thing on my list that I actually followed through with was looking fabulous. I exercised (we got a Wii and the Wii Fit and the Biggest Loser game!) and bought [...]

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a respectable online Masters program? If you know the secret, please share it in the comments. I’ve considered an online degree program because of it’s convenience. However, if I were to be accepted to Cornell’s Master of Management in Hospitality program (I think I [...]

Why hello end-of-the-semester! You sure did sneak up on me. I take that back…projects, homework, and additional readings never sneak up on me, because I am just a bit obsessive when it comes to managing my time wisely. Some people are not so wise. So here I am– I live another semester to pick up [...]

“America, ever-idealistic, seems wary of the vocational-education track. We are not comfortable limiting anyone’s options. Telling someone that college is not for him seems harsh and classist and British, as though we were sentencing him to a life in the coal mines. I sympathize with this stance; I subscribe to the American ideal. Unfortunately, it [...]
