West Coast Forum Recap
: :
It is almost impossible to recap everything that has happened in the last few days, so in the interest of organization and coherency, I've split up my entries based on the events that have passed.

I arrived back in Ann Arbor this morning at 7AM after taking the redeye flight back in from San Francisco. I took the redeye in order to make it to today's intense rivalry between Michigan State and Michigan. Sadly, I left after the 1st quarter because I was so jetlagged. Apparently, I missed an epic ending to the matchup. The Wolverines pulled out the victory in triple over time. Oh well, it's just football, right?

All in all, the West Coast Forum was great. I went on a tour of Siebel, Yahoo!, and eBay, and I had the opportunity to hear some very good keynote speakers - Greg "Jaws" Jozwiak, VP of marketing and the man behind the success of the iPod, and Michelle Goins, CIO of HP.

I also participated in roundtable discussions with Apple, Electronic Arts, and Adobe. After hearing from all of the companies that participated in the forum, I think I will target eBay for an internship this summer - the company is the best fit with my interests and personality. Naturally, I will also continue to focus on the No Fall Zone business plan throughout the semester.

Careers and Jobs... I hear that's a big part of the MBA experience.
