I just realized, via Google Labs, that I have not updated in a very long time. While I'm not in Prague or galivanting around Europe anymore, maybe you're still interested in what I'm doing. Or maybe not. Maybe I just felt like doing something to distract me from work.
Wondering what I'm doing this summer? Brief overview, I am working on staff for the MIS (Management Information Systems) Department doing whatever they can throw at me while also being a Program Coordinator for North Alabama for the LEARN (Launching Entrepreneurs Across Rural Networks) Program which entails going to North Alabama for open Houses to explain what our program does (help dislocated workers and veterans who want to start their own business get business training and counseling), calling participants and service providers, placing newspaper ads, setting up training courses, and etc. I've been doing this since January but am continuing it as an internship over the summer. I was also assigned (for the summer, and maybe continuing in the fall) the Lead for The University of Alabama MIS Capital Campaign to raise money to keep the MIS Program running smoothly and effectively since in recent years we are seeing a boom in the number of students entering the program; this entails contacting alumni and forum members (CEOs), organizing alumni events (parties for getting donations), attending round tables, sending gifts, and etc. Sounds like a party, right?
Now maybe you understand why sometimes you just need a five minute break. Which is all this was...
I'll try to keep this updated a little more over the summer since I'll be going to some fun places for work and school and fun: Cincinatti (work and school), Atlanta (work, fun), Washington, D.C. (fun), Birmingham (work), and maybe more. Possibly with pictures, I know you're excited.
Until I have something more to report (or need another break), hasta luego!
