« Previous EntriesWe Look Like Facebook
Thursday, February 28th, 2008We look like Facebook. When Trey and I met yesterday to go over the website states and web campaign ideas, we both realized that we look like Facebook. Now this was completely unintentional, but I think it’s a good thing. We’re coming up in the web world. Our website visits have skyrocketed and it seems […]
Putting the ‘pro’ in Procrastination
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Spring Break is just around the corner, along with numerous deadlines and papers and midterms. Everyone around here is just trying to get through the next few days until we can finally relax a little bit. I tend to put the “pro” in “procrastination,” and it always comes back to haunt me around this time […]
I Think I Can
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008It’s only Wednesday and I feel like I’m running on fumes. I really don’t like it when people complain about how tired they are. We are all relatively busy people, but we make choices about how we use our time. Right now, though, I’m not just tired, I’m flat out exhausted. The combination of […]
Bringing in the Pros
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008I’m bringin in the pros. This week, my primary objective is to get someone on board ot help us with publicity. I’ve found that my current knowledge is insufficient for doing everything we need to get done. Not to mention have the time to do it all. I’m hoping that some one from the local […]
How Many Steaks can you Eat?
Thursday, February 21st, 2008How many steaks can you eat? I just got out of my entrepreneur class and a former business executive raised this question. The price you have to pay to earn a Fortune 500 income may not be worth it. Beyond a certain amount, money will not be worth all that much to you after your […]
Slow Week
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008This week has been moving kind of slowly, but things are getting crossed off my to-do list. It helps that a due date for a paper was pushed back by a week and a half! As the application deadlines for various summer jobs and internships approach, I’m looking forward to reading the applications for summer […]
We Need Orphans
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008We need orphans. Trey and I met yesterday to discuss the best way to drive traffic to our website and facebook group. The good news is that the traffic has really picked up. The ads we’ve placed on Fastweb and other scholarship sites seem to be working. Now the challenge is how to make this […]
How Difficult this is for Students
Monday, February 18th, 2008I’m in the middle of applying for several scholarships and am realizing how difficult the whole process is for students. Filling out the application can be tedious. Frequently, the standards for what a selection committee is looking for are vague. Essentially, it can be a guessing game to see what the judges want to read. […]
One Month and Counting
Friday, February 15th, 2008One month and counting! Our next grant application deadline for students is March 15th, 2008, exactly a month away. We can’t wait to read your applications and learn about all of your ideas. If you have any questions about your project, application, recommendation letters, or anything at all, we would be glad to help. Just […]
Happy Valentine’s Day
Thursday, February 14th, 2008Happy Valentine’s Day! We usually have team meetings on Thursday nights at 7:30, but I think Valentine’s Day calls for a break from regular meetings. I’m going to let everyone know that it’s time to take a break and enjoy the ‘holiday’. I think it is very important to work hard and smart, but it […]
