RBPC

Today through Saturday is the Rice Business Plan Competition: the largest business plan competition in the world.  I am working as a volunteer for most of it, and it is awesome.  I actually feel almost dumb....the ideas that these guys have are amazing!  We heard a lot today: everything from silent alarm clocks to get your full rem cycle sleep AND not wake up your spouse to a business plan for renting glamorous maternity wear so pregnant women would not have to dish out uber-dollars on clothes they might not every wear again.

Such creative stuff.

This week has been super busy.  I'm 90% certain that I will be selling jewelry come the summer.  And it has been gorgeous outside, so most of us have been conducting our team meetings and research projects outdoors.  And getting pretty sweet tans, if I do say so myself.  I guess there's something to be said for enjoying these last few weeks of freedom before returning to life!  I can't WAIT to go back to work, and yet I am so sad.  I cried at Gala, and I cried again a little bit today; this is our last RBPC as students.

Anyways, re-cap for the week:
Monday - swim (4K)
Tuesday - swim (3600)
Wednesday - spin class, calisthenics, and swimming again (3,800)
Thursday - swim (1,500)
I did not mean to do anything today due to working, but I had to deliver payments to coach Jason, so I hopped in the pool with the team since I was there.  We have a new coach, coach Kyle...so this makes 5 coaches!  We have a lot of fun.  Oh, I also posted a request for marathon training plans on facebook and got some responses, so stay tuned for news about that.

I'm taking tomorrow off to work (volunteer) for the MS 150 set up and more of the RBPC as well as resting my legs for Saturday's morning run.  I hope to use the time saved tomorrow to read, pray, and write, so I am excited.

Saturday's run will be River Oaks, my fav!  It is supposed to rain all weekend, though, so I am somewhat worried about the MS 150 riders.....we shall see how this turns out.

That's enough for me for one day.  I am checking out.  'Night all.
