Hotelie-On-the-Go

Holy crap this semester is going by fast! I can’t believe I’m over halfway done with it already; I ain’t quite out of the woods yet for now though. I still got a lot on my plate: just finished a finance prelim last night (let’s not discuss that anymore :/ …), have some RA programs coming up, Cornell Daily Sun articles as always, events for the frat, and my last 2 prelims of the semester ’til finals (!!!) in a week or so. I see the light at the end of the fall 2009 tunnel, and it’s becoming more and more enticing everyday.

Aside from that, a couple personal updates: I finally handed in my paperwork to pick a concentration/major in the Hotel School, and I went with Law. My decision has been a long time coming — between almost transferring to ILR, thinking about marketing for a while, procrastinating about life, etc. — and the Law concentration just makes sense with my interests. I’m taking the required Hotel School law course right now (HADM 3387), and it’s the first core course I think I’ve taken in the school where I actually look forward to the material. What I’ll end up doing with it is a very good question (but law school is definitely a very viable option at this point).

And, with that, I’m doing all of my Law requirements … wait for it … next semester! Yup, it should be a very interesting spring, as I will only be taking one required course in the Hotel School — which will be Restaurant Management (HADM 3305. I’ve heard mixed reviews.). But I’m in my CourseEnroll mindset right now, and for any faithful Cornellians that are reading, take a gander at my spring 2010 schedule as it stands right now: maybe I’ll see you in class!
