i can’t believe it’s been almost a month since i’ve been in pittsburgh. how crazy is that? i have my first exam this coming friday. i’m kind of nervous, but it was going to happen sooner or later. last week was a bad week: i had all this job search junk going on. i really hope someone calls me back for an interview. it would really boost my ever-deflating self-esteem. i had a good weekend. on saturday i woke up at 9:45 am and immediately went to the basement to do my laundry. i totally beat the rest of the building. i finished my laundry by 11:30 am. at the same time i was doing laundry, i wrote my idea paper for social psychology. around 1 pm, emily and i went to quizno’s for lunch. i had my lovely caesar salad. it was delicious. i came back at around 2 pm and did my web design powerpoint presentation on ebay. did you guys know that in just this year alone, ebay will do over $30 billion dollars in transactions. that greater than all but 70 countries’ gdps! it’s pretty insane because i was looking up the financials for ebay, and the growth rate for some numbers are out of control. there are 27,000 categories in ebay, and 8 of them make over $1 billion a year. wow! so crazy. do any of you guys know how the name “eBay” came about? well the guy who invented this site was from the san francisco bay area. the e stands for electronic (obviously). pretty witty huh? after i finished my powerpoint, i made a flow chart of my midterm project. i plan on doing a john mayer fansite. maybe if it’s really good, i will actually launch it. grace, julyan, and i went to see “finding nemo” at 8 pm. wow mcconomy was so packed. that movie was so awesome. since grace still had a car for the weekend, we went food shopping after the movie. i bought all this food. i will be having turkey sandwiches a lot! we got home and decided we’d be cool and go clubbing at “touch”. that club was pretty fun for pittsburgh. the only thing i didn’t like was that the dance floor was kind of tiny. also, the guys at the club were a little too old for me.

on sunday, my group of corporate strategy met up. we decided to do our project on the supermarket industry. specifically, we want to do giant eagle. it recently opened a gas station, and we wonder why/how giant eagle is trying to diversify its products. it’ll be interesting to do research about this because i really don’t like giant eagle because it’s always overpriced and the produce is never fresh. i wish super walmart was closer to my apartment. i’d be in heaven! i went to work after the meeting and then i met up with grace to go to the waterfront. we only had a couple of hours because everything closes at 6pm on sundays. we stopped by giant eagle because there were new weekly specials. i bought some grapes, apples, and deli turkey. hehe. oh yeah, grace bought home an apple pie from west virginia. it was very delicious. we decided to go see “once upon a time in mexico” because grace still had the rental car. it was an entertaining movie, but i wish i had seen “desperado” before watching the sequel. i can’t believe it’s monday. i have to go to my two classes, gym, and then to work. after that i will come home and make dinner. then i need to start on my hw. i’m still debating on whether i want to do the case study for this week. it’s on southwest airlines, and it’s really interesting. i just don’t know if i’ll have time. i need to start studying for macro. ahh. okay i’m going to get ready for class. bye <3
