Time Machine Should Still Be In Use

Alright, so...this coming Friday is when my final paper is due. I'm sitting here writing a blog about it instead of actually writing the damn paper! Ain't that a shame? Yea...I know! (lol) I think I'll be okay--I just have to get myself motivated at some point between now and 4:00 pm Friday. Otherwise, the whole semester of going to school every Wednesday will go to hell in a hand-basket!!! Though, I must say that this class (Principles of Association Management) has been pretty interesting, despite of all the things I've mentioned on here, including the 100-word per minute instructor. Although it sounds long--from January to May--but, I guess there had been enough crazy things going on that it made it seem not long at all. Though, I must say there were times where I just feel exhausted and dreading my way up to school.

As much as I loved my previous class, which was about Meeting and Exhibition Law and Ethics, I will say that this current class have improved my writing significantly--in terms of style, formatting, organization, etc. I was able to write my thoughts myself, but couldn't submit my paper without having someone proofread it. Well, in this professional business setting, every single thing has to be proofread by someone normally above you, not because individuals aren't perfect enough to write a paper or whatever, but the emphasis is that any written statements are well proofed. Anyway, all my papers, by far, were graded all A's! W0ot w0ot!

Thesis # 1: Student Leadership At Annual Meeting
(I discussed some ideas on leadership opportunities for students at annual meeting and ideas on how to continually encourage and retain their involvement) -- Grade: A+

Thesis # 2: Development And Marketing of Meeting and Educational Programs
(I talked about potential prime areas for program development and implementation of promotional strategies to target the professional individuals market) -- Grade: A+

Thesis # 3: Corporate Leadership Program Development
(I proposed some ideas on how the organization can expand its existing sponsorship brackets to the next level--engaging potential sponsors and donors particularly industries and corporate businesses and create affiliation/partnership with them) -- Grade: A-

Final Paper: Non-Profit Organizations In The Competitive Business World
(Ummm...nothing as of yet)

So, the final paper is going to be the b**ch! I haven't thought of anything to write and sometimes I get a writer's block and I would sit in front of the computer and could not come up with one sentence. That's mighty awful! But, usually I somehow start writing and next thing I have 3 pages in front of me. Like I said I just need to type away and the thoughts would eventually come. Tonight is not that night definitely--I'm too tired!

One thing I did do today though was to buy my tickets for my San Francisco trip in three weeks! W0ot w0ot! My gawd--the price went up already! Had I bought it like a month ago I would have saved probably $200. Oh, well. Thank God, my job is paying for it. So, anyway I thought I'd throw that one in there....LOL

Goodnight!
