So I was, and still am, in Chicago this weekend. At first I was really not looking forward to the trip but then I got here and saw the city skyline and I started to get excited at the idea of this weekend. And then the conference started and I'm meeting and talking to all these really nice people and eating really yummy food (and also met a really cute boy :-) But then...the dreaded case competition began. So here's the deal, in my group were a total of 6 people: 2 from Northwestern, 1 from Michigan State, 1 from Indiana State, and 1 from Madison. It started of ok, for the first half hour or so and then it turned bad. People were talking in really loud voices and yelling, this one guy kept saying he had ADD and could not stop walking around and the other girl just sat next to me in complete silence. So this happened from 7:30pm until about 10:30pm. During this time I was about ready to lose it, every single time me or this other guy Marcus would talk, the one guy from NW would cut us off and go on some stupid tangent. I got so angry! I've decided people from NW and Princeton are snobs and pricks. None of these people take business classes or know anything about the PRACTICE of business yet every single one thinks that they have THE right answer and are spouting off theories like they know everything. By the end of the night, all I wanted to do was just drink lots and lots. I was suppose to go out the bars with these people but after the horrible 3 hour event I decided to not go out with these people as I would probably lose it and do or say something stupid.

Anyways, my beef is with ivy leaguers. I don't understand why they think they are better than everyone else. All people learn at these schools are theories and philosophies, none of which does any good in the real world. Yet they all think they know the right answers and most importantly, know more than us Big Ten school people. I have never been more upset and literally sick to my stomache about such an inconsequential thing as I was last night. It's good thing there were a couple of others in my group to keep me sane. And even better that I get to home in a couple of hours.
