Full throttle

I blogged earlier that this is a four day weekend. That’s not completely true. For my sales class, there is a two day workshop on something called SPIN selling that meets Friday and Saturday of this weekend. The workshop is pretty well known among people who work in sales, I first heard about it when I worked at AOL and the folks from the interactive marketing had to take it. I would be pretty upset at having my four day weekend cut in half, except that I feel pretty fortunate because Kenan-Flagler probably shelled out “an arm and a leg” to have someone from the company come down here to teach it.

 

I spent the entire day yesterday in class and later today I will have class from 9 to 4. So you would assume that tonight I did what I would normally do, eat dinner at home and then go to sleep early. But no I didn’t do that. Instead I went out to Buffalo Wild Wings for the MBA Student Association trivia night, then went with a bunch of classmates to the opposite end of Franklin Street to the Martini Bar, where we quickly left to go downstairs to Deep End to have the twenty-five cent beer (the bar apparently reversed the recent price increase), and then ended the night at a happy hour at Jack Sprat sponsored by the Graduate and Professional Student Federation.

 

Since this is my last semester as a full time student, I am going to beat the heck out of it and squeeze every possible drop of life out of this experience. And the best part is you will get to read all about it on this blog.
