I always hate the end to any semester. It isn't because I love school so much I don't want it to end. It's because nearly every professor can't get their curriculum straight. Every semester's end, it seems as if three weeks worth of work/assignments are crammed into each week. It never fails. Why can't these people just balance the semester out like they're supposed to do. They can't use the excuse, "unexpected things come up;" because most of the time those things only delay the professors return by a day or two. In those cases, work should be spread evenly over the upcoming class periods. I'm sure students would moan and groan at the time, but it's much better than having several major assignments due the WEEK before finals week! Come on!!!

Presentations

The most memorable presentation the other week to me was the presentation about visiting Mexico. I thought is was the most interesting because of the warnings given about crooked cops and the personal experience of the presenter. If I were planning a trip to Mexico City anytime soon I would probably be having seconds thoughts after this presentation. I also liked the poker presentation. The facts given about playing online poker and how much some people (those who make a living doing this) win were surprising.

Interview Reflection

The mock interview was interesting. I think it was much more lenient and easygoing than any interview I will ever encounter when searching for a job, but it was practice nonetheless. Most of the questions asked were not questions I prepared for, but to be honest I didn't prepare very well. Either way, the questions asked were not overly difficult to answer. It's a good thing I wasn't asked one of those weird ambiguous questions like, "if you were an eating utensil, which one would you be?"
