Today, I spent the day with my business simulation group at Pepperdine University in Orange County. We had a really productive day organizing our thoughts, calculating financial ratios / sales forecasts, and putting together our game-plan for the simulation weekend. We also put together a draft of our mission statement.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with our progress. I worked with most of these folks in our Finance class, and we all seem to work together really well. I'm definitely blessed to have them around!
It's 8:47pm and I'm back at Lestat's (west location on Park Ave) for another night of study and homework. Bring on the coffee!
PS. At this location, there are ridiculous throne chairs! I wish the older guy would stop watching movies and let me sit there! Oh and the Irish Monkey is delish!

Study Night at Lestat's
If I had to sum up my day today into one or two words, it would have to be "School Night."
Today, I met with Tyler, Sopa, and Carolina @ Pepperdine's Irvine campus to go over our presentation of Edward De Bono's book "Six Thinking Hats." We have a skit that we are going to perform that is pretty hilarious.
Afterwards, I made my way to Lestat's coffee house off Adam's Ave in Normal Heights for a night of GSBM 670X.45 simulation work. A new friend of mine, David, introduced me to this 24/7 coffee house. The place has a very "hipster" vibe to it: non-matching furniture, various art pieces on the wall, an eclectic genre of music playing in the background, and lots of people reading, studying, and/or conversing. Some people may find this type of environment very distracting, but for me it helps me focus. More and more I'm finding it difficult to read and/or study in completely quiet environments. I usually end up dozing off. I think I might have a little ADHD?
It's about 11:55pm and I got a lot done! I calculated the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for the starting point of our company. Now that I've calculated this percentage, we just have to make sure that our Return on Investment is greater than this and we'll create value for our shareholders.
