I've been fine.

What kind of petition was granted?

That is one hell of a 10 pack! Sound like great seats as well.

How does this "10 pack" work? Do you get a special deal if you buy tickets for 10 games of your choosing?

Yea, basically you pay the normal ticket price. Which doesnt seem like that much of a deal but when some of these high profile teams come to town the charge up the price 30-60%, this is if you buy it individually.

The name of the pack was the heat 10 game pack. They throw a couple duds in like washington and cleveland. Cleveland I already went to, but yea sweet pack. I bought the 10 gamer because it was stacked the other pack was the laker pack which also had the clips and a few other western conference teams but didnt match up to this pack. Also, needed to see the knicks they only come out once a year.

Coming back one more year to double major, add a minor, and possibly an internship.


Yeah...our thanksgiving break is early lol. My sisters come home the following Tuesday and they had that week off. Didn't realize Memphis' (?) break was so short. Did you sign up for a class with Gazzarri (if you're still there)?

Congratulations on going for one more year. I am taking just one extra semester with no extra major or minor. What is your second major and minor?

I was thinking of taking a class with Gazzarri as you suggested. I looked up the classes for next semester and it looks like he is only teaching one Classics course (Senior level, 4791 - Studies in Classics). I have a bunch of electives I have to take. But I wanted to take an elective that is fun and will not consume much of my time.

I am trying to intern myself, which is basically why I took an extra semester. I never interned before. Waiting to hear back for a spring internship and a summer internship I interviewed for.

I'm currently unsure of what I want to do after I graduate. I have a really good offer on the table, but not sure if its what I want to do forever.

2nd major would be European history and minor might be philosophy (religion, maybe? lol...that would be funny because, even though I'm Jewish, I don't follow any).

CCC, try to find more about it?

With the way the job market is these days, I'd say take it. Nothing can force you to do it forever. You can always look for another job in the future and at least you'll have this job to fall back on if you can't find a job right away. I'm no expert or anything but that is my opinion for you.

I would take it. Chances are that you are able to move around in the company if you choose to and really want to.

Im a die hard knick fan like most here. After living on the east coast for half my life (my childhood) and being good friends with dave checkets son, I was able to go to many playoff games in the early 90s that I otherwise would never have had the opportunity to go to. This experience has had an indelible mark on my nba fandom.

Got a ton of friends back there and cant wait to get back to the garden, it has been wayyyyyy to long. Im not looking forward to paying the high ticket prices but the experience is unmatched. Ive been to staples once which I would say comes in a close second but their fans dont compare.

For the meantime I'll keep checking them out at oracle arena.

Yeah I know a lot about the company and the way you move up is very systematic. I've always had the mentality of making the most money I can, but I'm starting to feel like I want to do something with more meaning. Fixing the problems of companies is cool and all, but the 70-80 hour work weeks seem kind of scary. I'm used to the college life dammnit where I go to class for 12 hours a week and do what I want for the rest :lol: When will I have time for friends If I'm working 13 hours a day 6 days a week?

Most people say you stay in for a 3-4 years, go to school and get your MBA and go work a cushy 9-5, but by then I'll be 26-27...kinda depressing

College is rough as nails man, not sure why you guys love it so much.

I love college, but hate all of the class work. barely have anytime to do anything besides a Knicks game/workout during the week.

That's actually a good sign. Most kids don't do anything school related their freshman year and it kills their GPA. Once you get the hang of it, you'll learn to study like a college student and you'll have more time...unless you're an engineering student.

Been enjoying the Knicks so far this year specially yesterday's game, cautiously optimistic but loving the team so far.
Then reading this board today makes me think I missed out on the championship trophy that was handed to us after winning last night.
