Day 27 - Today was great! Specifically, my marketing class because for the next 4 classes we have a guest lecturer who started his own business focused on big data. Big data is one of those topics that sounds super boring but in reality it's super fascinating! He showed us a clip from a money called Moneyball to introduce the topic. In case you are interested, I added it down below so you can see it too. After class, I went home to relax instead of doing homework and was so interested in the concept of applying Big Data that I found the movie and watched it. I definitely recommend it. It's awesome! Day 28 - After my morning class all day I worked on homework. Not fun but I think I was pretty productive! Also, I got ice cream before dinner. Always an amazing idea. ;) Day 29 - Today I had a Spanish Grammar exam and it went well! But, I'm not really worried about it because I'm basically taking the class pass/fail. Also, referring back to Big Data, today in marketing class we did a case study of Netflix's applications of Big Data. I don't think I've ever been se excited about interpreting numbers. Their use of Big Data is so fascinating that now one of my goals is to try to get a data or marketing internship with Netflix! I also was so interested in Big Data I thought about switching to an IDS major but then remembered all the math that was involved and was like NOPE. Business Management is my groove. So far I don't have many plans for this weekend. On Sunday, I am probably going with the Mountain group and hike up a mountain. Hopefully I can survive. One of my friends' friend went last time and said they were climbing for 8 hours. I WOULD BE DEAD. So if you don't see a blog from me on Monday you'll know that I'm probably crying on a mountain because I couldn't keep up with everyone else. On a side note, today was the first day Julian and I got to talk for more than 20 mins since last month. It's crazy how time flies. Also, I've been here for a month already, HOLY COW. When they say time flies, they really mean it. Especially because I only have class 4 days out of the week. Now to try to get some homework done! :)
