Events in February!

On February 12, 2009, we had our second mentor meeting. It was very exciting. The objective for that meeting was get some insights about business communication from our mentors. For our meeting, we went to Frank's and Johnny's, a local restaurant with Joe and Meg Bonavita. We discussed about how to properly communicate in the business world. They told us to start off with a good handshake and eye contact. It is also a good idea to prepare some questions to start the conversation. Last but not least, one should end the conversation by politely saying "It was nice meeting you."

In the past week, we had to do our CareerBeam for our business class. One of the objective was to discover our interests and occupation. My #1 interests was scientific. I thought this was interesting because my first choice in Major was Pre-med/Dentistry. I changed it because I thought business would be more interesting. My #2 interest was Logical. This is where an Accountant comes in. My majors are Accounting/Finance so this fits perfectly with my results. I like to be an Accountant because I am very good with numbers and I also like dealing with financial budgeting.

Next week will be Mardi Gras! I know that it will be exciting and fun even though I don't like the heavy traffic. This year, I just want to have fun with all the people I met at Loyola. I want to go to the best parades and collect the most unique beads. I want to have fun and not worry about school. I want to have as much fun as possible but also would like to avoid any dangerous or life-threating situation.

New Orleans is known for the partying during Mardi Gras. Like people say, "There no place like New Orleans when it comes to Mardi Gras." Its true. From the partying at Bourbon street and the King Cakes, everything is what makes Mardi Gras in New Orleans Mardi Gras. It is just a time to have fun and experiences the culture of New Orleans. With all the kings cakes and creole food. There is no other Mardi Gras like the one in New Orleans.
