Indianapolis, we are going to the Superbowl!!!!!!
Is everybody bumped up because of the awesome victory of the Colts vs. the Patriots! Needless to say anything else my weekend was GREAT. I hanged out too much and did not spend enough time working on homework as I should have. Man! I really have to learn that I must do homework over the weekends; otherwise I will be in the same situation as I was last semester (freaking out the last few weeks of class, that is). Saturday, I was in school for a few hours, but not doing homework...lol. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to work out a little more, so I have been going daily to the gym at school since spring classes started. It is pretty convenient to have the gym on campus—if you are there (IUPUI) all day you might as well use it. I also swim, so is even more convenient- I lift some weights and then off to the pool for some laps.
Anyway Saturday was good, besides working out we went to the symphony and then for dinner and desert. Downtown was packed with all the Colts fans AND there was a cheerleader convention going on too (Unless girls like to go out dressed up with uniforms and paint their faces exaggeratedly on Saturday night nowadays, I am pretty sure it was a convention).
Sunday was football day- since the games did not start until 3:00 pm (Bears vs. Saints) I pretended to do some homework in the morning. Then my favorite person in the whole world came to visit, that is my godson Caden. He is barely three months old and he is awesome, he loves football and we have a blast every time he comes to visit!
Well, keep enjoying your semester and one word of advice (as usual): when you are watching your favorite sports team play, say the Colts, and you like to jump up and down like a kangaroo make sure that the ceiling is not too close—if you hit your head it can be painful!
Keep it simple,
Jaime

Have you ever noticed that little things that matter most are usually things that take the longest to complete? I do not know why I bring this, but that's what has happened lately for me. Big projects either at school or at work have been going on smoothly, however it's been hard to find time to do the small projects or little things (like writing this...lol).
This past weekend a group of friends from the Kelley School and I were down in Bloomington competing on the Kelley-Krannert case competition; it was intense but such a valuable experience. We went down there Friday morning and met the participants from Both Kelley Bloomington and Purdue, then we got the case around 3 and worked on it until 4 am the next day. We had barely a couple of hours of sleep before we had to present the case- so it was a challenging experience because we had to maximize the use of our time and exploit the use of our skills to make the best out of it. If you ever have the chance to be on a case competition, I would recommend doing one, you would learn so much from yourself!
Other than the case, life has been hectic as usual. Work and school is enough, but I have to make time for family and friends as well. I am really looking forward for Thanksgiving break, I am heading down to Colorado to visit friends and hopefully we'll get to do some skiing.
Well friends, study hard and play harder. I'll catch up in a few weeks.

SENIORS: I find my self struggling to motivate myself to make it through the semester, however the race is not over yet. Remember to continue to study and do well in school, just a few more days!
