This Past Week

Monday- On the yard...hit all my classes art appreciation, Strategic Management, Management Science, and Earth Science. learned a few useful things to prepared for upcoming test this week.

Tuesday- Got my results back from my finance test did well (real good look). Hit the gym first time since the summer felt good to run a couple of games.

Wednesday- Strategic Management presentation: I was real satisfied with the outcome, I will see what my teacher had similar thoughts on monday.

Thursday- Attended the closing bell speaker series on the yard (School of Business and Economics). The speaker was a former A&T student Mr. Joesph T. Wilson Jr. (Managing Director with Citigroup Global Market). His presentation focused on the current state of the economy and how minority students should approach/prepare for post graduation (THE REAL WORLD).

Friday- In Winston-Salem for part of the day chillen, watched it pour down raining for the rest of it.

Saturday- Grabed a shape up, went out, watched the Sugar Shane fight he knocked out Mayorga in the last second of the 12th round.

Sunday- FOOTBALL, hit the books, and watched to best show on television ENTOURAGE.

Juan Dixon Back With Wiz Kids

The Washington Wizards opened training camp today at Virgina Commonwealth University (VCU). Newly acquired/local hero/former wizard Juan Dixon is back for another go round with the team. Dixon has signed a one year partially guaranteed contract and has to make the team out of camp. But with Gilbert Arenas Out for the first month of the season Dixon should get a lot of opportunities to prove his value to the coaching staff. Personally I think that this is a contract year for Dixon. The former Terp guard is a hard worker both on the offensive and defensive end as well as a great teammate. Keep your eyes on the Wizards and Dixon all season long at nba.com or catch several nationally televised games.

"Obama 08" (The Great Debater)

At 9 o'clock tune into the debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and John Mccain. Im curious to hear what each candidate has to say about the current state of the economy and how they propose we fix these problems because in less then 2 months this will be one if not the main concerns for the elected President.

$700 Billion Rescue Mission

With time to research the economic issues questions have risen from the proposed $700billion rescue attempt proposal.

1. Were does the $700 billion come from?
2. In what impact will this crisis have on the economy in the future if the proposed plan fails?
3. Is $700 billion a guess or an accurate amount?
4. How will my generation (college students/the future) benefit or suffer from the after affects of this rescue or failure attempt?

These are just a few questions that I have come up with about the future of the economy as we continue to slide into a recession.

Check out what the experts say is at stake below.
