http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna the hotelie life Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:28:42 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Not to get too cheeseball or anything (remember, the collective emotional state of the Class of 2008 is a little bit nutjobesque right now due to the abrupt change in lifestyles and surroundings), but you know that old saying about Cornell being the "easiest Ivy to get into and the ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/06/12/epilogue/ I've been avoiding making the final updates to my blog because, well, every time I sat down to write, I was reminded of a fact I wasn't quite ready to face: I GRADUATED. No, I KNOW, right? I am a Cornell graduate. That's me in that photo on the right. At ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/06/12/the-series-finale/ I'm sure I'm going to piss off half the Ivy League by comparing Cornell to Columbia, but let's pretend--just for a moment--that all Ivy League students are comrades as we wade through the treacherous final exam periods at our respective fine Northeastern institutions, okay? Bwog, an awesome blog over at Columbia, ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/05/13/sending-love-to-columbia-because-finals-week-over-there-seems-as-soulcrushing-as-finals-week-over-here/ First, I am alive. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I literally need every single credit to graduate on time, and when you're dealing with finals and/or papers for seven (!!!) classes while trying to navigate the senior-class event & celebration schedule, well ... little luxuries like sleep, showering ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/05/12/senior-proms/ So, here's the deal: I have been actively searching for a job since October. And when I say searching, I mean checking MediaBistro every single day, sending my resume to everyone and anyone that I might even consider working for, and networking like crazy. I haven't really dropped the ball ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/04/14/aborting-the-mission/ Dear Newly-Accepted Class of 2012, Congratulations & welcome to the Cornell family! Four years ago today, I was in your shoes and received the most important news of my young adult life -- and I made the right choice. I hope you do, too. Oh, but I hope your day turns out ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/03/31/somebody-from-cornell-university-loves-you/ I think the city of Miami and I just aren't meant to be. After last year's grand adventure that went down with notable vacation-ruining contributions by Royal Caribbean, US Airways and the city of Miami, I was certain that my travel karma was golden this year. I figured things would be ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/03/23/another-spring-break-adventure-this-time-a-fire/ The Vagina Monologues were a RIDICULOUS success. Our Friday show sold out entirely and we had to awkwardly turn people away from the door; our Saturday show in Statler (a venue that seats 715ish people) was pretty much filled to capacity-- which is MAJOR, considering we were competing with the ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/03/02/which-is-worse-moaning-on-stage-or-crying-on-stage/ I have been super stressed these past few weeks because the Vagina Monologues are rapidly approaching. Like, very rapidly. As in... they're in 3 days. The acting in rehearsals has been blowing me away; the cast is absolutely incredible and as director, I really don't know what to do with myself ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/02/27/200ish-chocolate-vaginas-true-friendship/ A day in the life of a second semester Cornell senior: 7:00 am: Wake up and do edits on finance research project. 10:00 am: Finance class. Lots of this is sounding familiar. Probably because I heard it last year... 11:30 am: Venture into Olin library for coffee. Startle friends who have never seen ... http://blogs.cornell.edu/jenna/2008/02/13/what-happened-to-senior-year/
