Random and jibberish. Hopefully, this will help me organize my final paper before my practicum ends. I also have to delegate people for the freshmen orientation because I can’t attend any of the meetings if I want to complete 200 hours before May 22.

Anyway… So far, we’ve met really nice officers/traders, listened to countless how nows, observed the PDex and Reuters screens, watched Bloomberg/NBA and eaten free food. Haha. But we don’t get paid. Bummer.
