All Business

You have full permission to call me a nerd after this...but not just any nerd, a business nerd. The School of Business is by far the best program at Liberty...not only do we have the best classes and professors, but we have our own dress code and even our own hallway...which consists of 4 classrooms. Don't laugh...contrary to approximately 25% of the things I say, I am not being sarcastic.

With the exception of one class (Operations Management, aka: the hardest class you will ever take), I have loved each of the business classes I have taken. Organizational Behavior 1 and 2 are the best and most applicable, which is what has spurred this very random and seemingly pointless post. (For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, Organizational Behavior is basically a class that overviews the inner workings of companies and the people who work for those companies.) Every single Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, when I arrive back at my dorm at 3:30, I hope that Brittany is here so that I can tell her about the crazy simulation our professor had for us that day.

For instance, today we had group presentations. My group was to be the last group to present...and our presentation was scheduled for next Tuesday...you know, one week from today. Therefore, being the college students that we are, we have not met as a group to prepare a presentation...or even read the chapters we were supposed to present on. We got to class and the group who was scheduled to present today did so, followed by two groups who were supposed to present on Thursday and were consequently unprepared (they are typical college students as well)...then, my group members and I come to the horrific realization that we are going to have to give a 25 minute presentation on chapters we have not read without a clue about what our class activity will be. We go up to the front of the classroom, with heart rates of approximately 250bpm, and the professor asks the class to choose two of us. The class chooses the two guys in our group. The professor says "OK, guys, you will be presenting. Ladies, please step out into the hallway." Uh oh...Elizabeth and I, being the girls in the group, were clearly the ones with the notes that we had frantically scribbled down from the book. We go out into the hallway, celebrating ceaselessly and exchanging multiple high-fives, and listen to the guys. It actually turned out rather well, and the presentation was not for a grade...so crisis averted, for now.

So there it is...a typical day in the School of Business. :)
