So I needed to get away from USC and books and have decided to go to Charleston for the weekend. No not Charleston SC! You know there is another Charleston, which happens to be the capital of West Virgina. Well, its bad enough that people do not know about Charlie West.. but whats worse is when they do not know about West Virginia. Recently I got carded when entering a bar, and when i presented my West Virginia driver's license, the guy scoffed at me and said "If you're going to use a fake ID, you could at least use a real state!" Seriously!!!! It is a state! And by golly I am going to take pictures this weekend to proove it!

Its amazing how perspective of time changes. Last week flew by. We had a Decision Analysis Mid-term, Accounting Quiz, a team project of case analysis due on the Mondavi wine company for the Global Strategic Management Class and a paper analysing the AIDS crisis in Africa and the role of the Pharmaceutical companies. Needless to say, it was a stressful week. However, it wasn't as bad as i had anticipated it to be. In contrast, this week so far has been so slow. I do have one paper that is due on Thursday, but can't get motivated enough to start working on it. I haven't studied for 4 days, and now find it hard to get in the groove.. Amazing how i can work better when I am stressed.. atleast i manage my time better.

I have a new class starting this week, which seems quite promising. Global Entreprenership.. did i spell that right??? The grade in this class is based on a team project, of coming of with a viable business idea and how it can work. The team with the best idea, will not only get the best grade but $500 as well. Hows that for an incentive. Anyways, regardless of the money, I think its a great opportunity to apply some of the strategy skills we've been learning. I am meeting with my team on Thursday, and we will each discuss our business propositions and choose which one to pursue.

My first blog! I owe this to my class mates who's blogs i have enjoyed reading... It got me excited about starting my own. Besides, the REAL reason is, that this sure beats writing the same emails to every person I know who wants to know how I am.

OK, lets get the one thing straight. I know my blog name and email id is kaviitaa... but that is NOT the way i spell it. Nor is it Kavitha (thats for my south indian friends)... It is just Kavita. Plain and simple. Why did I choose the funny spelling then for my email and blog id? Because "kavita" was taken, and second, a numeralogist suggested that i change the spelling of my name to "kaviitaa" to bring good health, happiness and wealth. (I am serious!) Hmmm.. so lets see, I am healthy and happy..... however the wealth is down to zilch thanks to the tuition at school. So i guess I got half of what i was told, and i suppose thats because i use kaviitaa only half the time. (Any correlation here?)
