The two things that I am thinking about right now and that i am going to right about are tests and basketball. Nothing is worse than studying for 29 years of your life for a test and then the teach taking 2389 days to get it back to you! Last week I took 3 tests and I feel lucky if I get them back before graduation. How long can it take to run a scantron through a machine and grade them? I know sometimes there are a lot of teachers doing it but still, there isn't a week plus worth of teachers doing it. There other thing im thinking about now is the ncaa basketball tournament. so much money is won and loss on each and every point that is scored! i would never start betting real money because i could see how addicting it would be. some online sites you can bet on everything from who gets the first tip ball or who fouls first. most guys think they are experts on sports and the spreads are so easy to win money on but if you actually bet some you see how smart and down to a science vegas has all the odds

Lies?

I can most definitely believe that at least 50% of people lie on their resume. Resumes are the deciding factor in who gets what jobs, and a person's job is their main source of income for their family. A better job could mean more money, more time off, or many other things that a person would lie for. I believe most lies are just exaggerations like a GPA. We talked about this in one of my mgt classes and a few other examples of types of lies on resumes besides exaggerations would be making stuff completely up like going to harvard grad school or saying you are a completely different person!
Another thing we talked about in that mgt class was how your reputation is the most important thing you have in the business world. If you lie on your resume and get caught, you are screwed! That is the single most biggest reason why I would not lie because it will haunt you for the rest of your career.

Class Presentations

Our classes presentations all were very good and very useful! Some of them were very short and one or two was very long. My favorite was the one about the stock markets because I like that stuff a lot but I just dont know a lot about it. He also handed out a crossword puzzle, by far the best hand out. My least favorite was the best football stadiums, i didnt agree with a lot of it. I learned a lot of stuff I never would have known about traveling to Mexico and also how to boil the perfect egg, two things I cant believe I have went so long in life without knowing! I was very very very very very sad that I did not get to present my presentation because I spent hours and even days making sure it would have been perfect for my classmates! OK you got me, I am kidding but hopefully I got a 100 for that assignment haha. I dont really know what else to type so i think this blog post is done for. see you next week my fav english 304 teacher!

Interview

First, I must say that the interviewing process with you was ROUGH! I was very nervous and worried about how well it would go because I knew you would critique me to no ends. Okay I am just joking because obviously it was not a very strenuous situation. I thought it was fun to do the mock interview and to see you pretend to me a representative of NIKE to be honest. I did not prepare for the interview at all but I was pleased with my answers and staying pretty calm, but I guess it was because I knew it was you and not a real NIKE person with a real internship riding on the line. The wait to be interviewed was worth it just because of the really loud girl talking about her awkward stories of her and her boyfriend with her parents. Overall, I have nothing bad to say about the process and it did help me since it gave me some exposure to being asked resume and personal questions on the spot. I will add that next time I will have to wear a suit since the person in front of me did and made me look bad!
