So, I’m chillin’ with the guys checkin’ out videos on the net and we come across this video on Diet Coke and Mentos. Apparently they react when you mix them together and it’s pretty cool!

Diet Coke and Mentos Mixin’

This week our school is holding a Case Competition with a number of schools from around the country competing. I am part of our school’s 5 person team, but as the fifth member of the team I only get to sit and watch the presentations without actually participating. I can’t participate unless something happens to one of our other team members. I still think it’s pretty cool to be a part of and I’m seeing a lot of very cool presentations.

How it works is that each team is given a case study and they have 3 hours to read it, analyze it and make a presentation to a panel of judges with their decision for what the company should do. There are 2 initial rounds where everyone competes, then on the final day the 3 top teams are chosen and they are given a case with only 2 hours to prepare and compete for a chance to win the competition. Last year our team came third, so I’m hopeful we can better that position.

I will get another chance in a few months when we travel to Boston to compete in another case competition. I’m hopeful I can crack the starting line up for that event.

Good Luck to our team!

I don’t know what most people’s intentions are when they begin a university education, but my goal is to get a job when I’m finished. At Bizniz School Online we focus on application-based education versus theory-based. That means that we work on the practical things that get stuff done, rather than just learning about models, theories and possible ideas that might work.

When I’m finished I think this will be far more helpful in getting me a job because an applied education is far more like having experience than just an education. All I hear from a number of graduates is that they get out in the job market and constantly hear from people that employers want people with experience. With the amount of case studies that I have completed I feel that I have a greater understanding of what to do in situations and that I almost have that real world experience.

Needless to say, I’m happy with my education thus far!

I am currently in the middle of Spring Break and I am having a rockin time in Mexico. I decided to come down to Mexico for a little sun and fun with a group of friends. The Spanish classes I have taken as a part of my Communications program have really come in handy while trying to pioneer my way around the streets of Puerto Vallarta.

I have been thinking a bit about my future while lying on the beach here in Mexico. I have seriously been considering the option of continuing on to grad school after I finish my bachelor’s degree. I need to figure out whether it is better to have on the job experience first or just go on and do grad work. I have even been considering working and taking a few courses online towards my Masters degree. It is getting so competitive in California that a bachelor’s degree is really the bare minimum needed to land a great job. Ah, but enough about my future, I need another margarita!

This is very interesting and shows that what you think might be a petty crime, isn’t! Don’t mess with your professor’s laptop or try to steal exams from your school!
