State Farm CEO to speak at ISU

Hey there, sorry for the lack of updates but I recently celebrated a birthday, went home for Easter, and have been slammed with tests, papers, and homework......however, the time has come to do another update. I just wanted to take the time to direct everyone to the Illinois State University College of Business week. While I did not attend the ettiquete dinner that took place on Monday, I heard it was highly informative. The Mock Interviews that were conducted yesterday were fun and beneficial to any students career. Thats all for the events that have already occured, here is one that is going on today. Ed Rust, the CEO of State Farm Insurance will be speaking at Braden Auditorium, located at the Bone student center. The event is at 2 pm and is free and open to the public. I strongly suggest going to this event because it is not everyday that people can hear some insite from a CEO at the largest insurer in the United States.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Sorry for the recent lack of updates. I have been on vacation for the past week in Las Vegas but the website and blog will soon have many more entries. If any of you get a chance to go to Las Vegas I would highly recommend seeing any of the Cirque Du Soleil shows. I saw Mystere and Ka while I was out there and they were both fantastic. Also, Big Elvis, the daily lounge performer at Bills Gambling Parlor, was excellent as always and is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Anywho.....Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone and I hope you are all wearing green and plan on having fun doing some activity. Although it is on Monday this year hopefully you will have a chance to drink some green beer. If anyone is interested in eating some corned beef and cabbage, Maggie O'Miley's, which is located next to the Coffee Shop in Uptown Normal, is always a great place. It might be a good idea to get there early. I was in Uptown Normal last year for St. Patrick's Day and Maggie's had a very long wait for anyone wanting to dine. I will make sure and do more updates as the week progresses but unil then... Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!

Spring Break Here We Come
