Musings from a Hokie grad

  I am a huge fan of Formula 1. That usually gets me some pretty strange looks from guys- a girl tha knows about F1? PlanetF1 is my homepage. It's been a few days since I've really looked at it, so I decided to read up on it after my interviews were finished today. I was pretty surprised to see a...

  With all of this career fair preparation we've been going through, the two words being thrown around a lot are classy and professional. A lot of people talk about being professional now-days but not so much being classy and it got me thinking. There seem to be few 'classy women' to look up to t...

  I was browsing through the VT Calendar, seeing what exciting things were coming up (not that I have time for that with my CAM test next week) and I saw that Ring Dance was next Friday. Reminded me of going to it last year. We're one of the few schools that actually have the tradition of class r...

  Last night I was looking around my favorite site, Fark. There was a caption that caught my eye and just couldn't pass up: Nine corporate attempts at "edgy" that failed (hilariously). So I checked it out. We are always discussing bad examples of marketing in my classes and this was just perfect....

  You would think that companies would have this down by now. Maybe they need to go back to school to learn about this thing called etiquette? 1. If you sign a code of conduct, follow it.

I watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report fairly often. Let me say I was jumping up and down when Jon Stewart reamed out Jim Cramer. When I found this I couldn't resist posting it.  

  It's a Tuesday night. You're bored and it's Blacksburg. Where do you go? TOTS of course! (Top of the Staris, but no one calls it that- dead giveaway that you're not from the area) Around here, Tuesdays are known as TOTS Tuesdays. Karaoke night is a great night to go watch people make idiots of ...

  I've been talking to my mom lately about student housing, particularly since I went to the Student Housing Conference in Vegas and visited my CAM project property this semester. I'm pretty sure she had in mind my apartment when I kept takling about student housing. Needless to say it was as typ...

        Burruss Hall is named after our 8th school president- Julian Burruss. He was the first alumni to become president and his claim to fame is convincing the board of visitors to allow white women to attend the college. Much of the money to build this came from the New Deal. Several other bui...
