All kinds of good stuff March 6, 2008

You know,  despite the fact(s) that I’m closing in on yet another round of finals, it’s freakishly cold in Barcelona, the buses are striking at the moment, and I’ve been trying to write the same paper for about a week now… Stuff is good. (Real good.)

A recap of recent events:

Light! In my stairway! Yes yes, it’s true. Nevermore will I hike my stairs in fear of tripping and dying in the dark. (Oh, don’t get me wrong, the light mostly just illuminates how scary and sketchy my stairs are, but at least I can see where I land when I fall–and one day, inevitably, I will fall. Oh yes, I don’t doubt that for a second…)

Interview! Today! Yes, ladies and gents, I had my first job interview in 5 years today. I interviewed with a consulting branch of Deloitte called Human Capital. And how did it go? Freaking great!! I like them, they like me, and it could, could, be a great avenue to full time work after the MBA.  AND I would have the entire month of August off (Jen and Laurent? I could come to LA for a while before the wedding, maybe?) and they would want me to be able to work in the fall. So, of course I can’t get my hopes up, but it went really, really well. And my whole job would be about human potential, and helping organizations recognize it, and helping them to invest in their human capital–cool, right? And it’s consulting, so it means seeing a whole lotta different companies, in different places, and, yeah, anyway–it was good.

Negotiations seminar! Regular class ended on Tuesday, and finals start on Monday, so the rest of this week has been a seminar on negotiations, led by a really dynamic psychologist. Added bonus: they’ve divided the class in 3, so it’s a smaller group than usual, and not with our same study groups, so all told it’s a total breath of fresh air, and a great way to disconnect for a few days before finals.

Tomorrow I find out if I’m going to have the option to go abroad or not. I’m not even sure what I’m hoping for, but I’ll keep you posted!

A couple of my buddies got called to interview for McKinsey this week–go, team, go!!

Aimee comes in a week and a half–whoot! I can’t wait!!

I’m still high from the conference last weekend. There is some seriously good stuff happening in the business world, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.

So of course, I still have a LOT to do in the next week, but then I get to relax, and Aimee will be here, and, yeah, there’s just all kinds of good stuff in BCN right now.
