What I’ve Been Up To (It’s Been Awhile)
Final Semester Winding Down
I have a paper due tomorrow and a revision of another paper due Tuesday, and I’m officially done with college work. Graduation is on May 28 and the Cornell era of my life will come to a close. I’m moving back home after graduation mainly because I need time to get my venture(s) off the ground and start generating more significant income. But the more I think about it, I don’t think I’ll be able to stand living at home on a long term basis.
Nothing against my parents, but I really prefer my own private life. At first I was thinking it probably would be okay, but then I remembered parents scrutinize everything you do, or at least mine do, and I probably won’t be able to tolerate that very long after living on my own for 5 years. As for my business, I was originally considering staying in Ithaca for an extra year because I’m initially targeting local businesses in Ithaca. But I don’t think that a physical presence in Ithaca is absolutely necessary.
Spring 2006 Semester
So it’s finally my last semester in college. This semester I’m looking to cruise through and spend more time on my business. I only have a humanities requirement left so I’m taking an Introduction to China class which seems fairly interesting since it does directly relate to me. (We have the same history but China and Taiwan are separate, independent nations). I’m also taking a high level course at the Johnson business school on electronic commerce so that should be a pretty good experience. My schedule also includes Introduction to Wines, one of the most popular classes at Cornell, one that many seniors take. We basically learn all about wines and do lots of tastings. Should be fun. The remainder of my schedule includes a course about human development of adolescents/youths and a human resource management class.
My Eclectic Schedule for Fall 2005
I’ve pretty much covered all of my AEM requirement and now I’m just filling up on credits for electives and other more minor requirements. Aside from the first 3 courses, everything is either a 1 credit or 2 credit course. This semester I’m taking:
