Day: October 11, 2009

I went to Career day on September 25th and was not surprised that it was mostly for the upperclassmen. Even though there were not many opportunities for freshman such as myself, I found the experience enlightening. I talked to some representatives of financial institues such as TD, credit suisse and Wells Fargo, which gave me an impression of what these potential employers were looking for. Most of the bigger finance corporations had huge lines that I didn’t bother to wait on, since I knew that they were looking for employees coming right out of college and not freshman interns. Overall it was not such a bag experience, except that I had to wear an oversized used suit in order to get in.

On 10/6 I was given a touro f the art exhibit at Mason. I did not understand most of the pieces that were centered around landscape because I am not an art major. Although I didn’t understand the peices, I could tell there was a lot of meaning behind each one. If you are into the arts, I would definitely give it a visit even if it is not one of the biggest galleries around.
