53 Students Survived Mid-terms Week

From Sunday to Wednesday, I was a busy bee. At any given moment, I was doing one of only five things: 1) going to class, 2) eating, 3) driving, 4) studying, or 5) sleeping. My life revolved around BASE and the mid-terms that came raining down on us during the third week. I'm glad to say that we all survived! To celebrate our victory against the grueling week, one of our classmates offered up his frat house for a BASE soiree on Thursday night after everything was over. I wanted nothing more than sleep by the time Thursday night came, so I decided not to go, but I heard that everyone had a great time!

This morning we hopped on a charter bus and were transported to the Mervyn's headquarters in Hayward. We learned about the company, various jobs at the corporate level, what different departments do, and how we can join the company as "executives-in-training" and then make our way up the ladder. Overall, it was a good experience. It's been nearly four years since I've been on a field trip, so it was definitely fun to relive some pre-college moments again!
