Guest Bloggin’ for the B-School
Last week Jim Turley, the CEO of Ernst and Young, came and spoke as part of my beloved Business Council’s VIP: Distinguished speaker series. It ended up that McCombs wanted someone on council to blog about it for their site, and guess who got the honor — yours truly! Check it outttttttttttttt.
Archer Program Success!!! Going to D.C.
After waiting for what seemed like a lifetime, I learned last week that I was indeed accepted in the Archer Program for the Fall 2010 semester! I received the email at like 1 p.m. last Friday and all I could do was smile. I knew that this was perhaps the biggest moment of my college career.
TxSkoolboi.com… Build YOUR website!!
A few months ago the thought of having a website never even crossed my mind, but after coming across a ‘build your own website’ website I decided it may be time to take my business a step further. I figured my business, providing DJ services to the UT & Austin community, could use a website because I may take next semester off to do a co-op and I risk losing communication with campus organizations which are one of my biggest clients. A website would be a good way to promote myself to them without having to be there.
Be Nice to the Bus Driver (and other Etiquette)
Listening to: Beep Beep (The Little Nash Rambler) — The Kingston Trio
MDR,
I realize this is going to make me sound old, but it has to be said: What is WITH kids today? Does nobody have manners anymore? When did they quit teaching us to say please, thank you, and excuse me?
Going BLOG CRAZY! and oh yeah, spring break
I am now the proud contributor of THREE blogs, yes three!
- of course: Longhorn Confidential — www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/author/evelyn0910
- Leadership Program (work) — http://blogs.mccombs.utexas.edu/leadership
- HEASPA (student organization) — http://blogs.utexas.edu/heaspa
I’m really excited that UT is transitioning to blogs, with the trend started by our very own Longhorn Confidential! Blogs allow us to manage the site without having to bombard the IT staff with minor requests.
Spring break was not as memorable as my fellow bloggers, but I was rather productive! Wedding planning is in full force — all the addressing, stamping, sealing of invitations is now complete, whew! Hard to believe that there are only 7 more weeks in the school year, and 7 more weeks until I get married. Honeymoon flights were booked last week — Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary — HERE I COME!
Must focus on a paper due Monday….

Can Someone Please Take Me Back to South Padre?
Wow, so it’s been a while and there are many things to share.
Spring Break – Geek Style
Listening to: Band on the Run — Paul McCartney & Wings
MDR,
Let’s get one thing straight right now. I don’t party. Spring break on the beach with thousands of other drunk college students? Not my cup of tea.
Hopes for a National Championship
Yeah, I love basketball, but my hope for a national championship lies with a new hero on campus — Nick Caporale. He is representing UT Austin in the Rock-Paper-Scissors National Tournament! More power to you Nick, thanks for keeping Austin weird!!
Why Texas
Listening to: Just a Ride — Jem
MDR,
Little known fact: I walked away from a full scholarship at the University of North Carolina to pay my way through UT.
