Final HR Systems and Tech class

So Wed night was the final HR systems and tech class. I earned an A in it. I think I also earned an A in my Essentials of HR class. We had to do presentations for our final. Mine was on how to build your professional network and you can find it here on SlideShare. Other classmates focused on solving problems for their employers such as having a policy manual to increase customer service, making paper systems electronic and paperless, comparing ERP vs SaaS, using Google Sites to create wikis and share information easily, etc. It was a great class with a lot of smart people in it. I learned a lot and I hope to keep in contact with my classmates and teacher.

Also this past Tuesday I went to SwingGoths at the El Rio in San Francisco. It was fun and I met some nice people but I don't think I'll go back because I didn't really like the instruction style or the music. Cardio Kickboxing is still going strong.

I am going to a Japanese festival on Saturday. Will report back later.

Have a good weekend!

What I've been up to

Hi Readers,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while; I've been very busy. I am reviewing 500 pages of text and 50 pages of lectures to prepare for my final exam in my Essentials of Human Resources class on Monday. I went to many cardio kickboxing classes at my gym. That is a workout; and at first all the moves seemed so complicated but I am a fast learner and now it is just fun and athletic. Yesterday, I went out to eat a dinner followed by an hour and a half of a lovely comedic film, which I recommend, entitled 500 Days of Summer. This afternoon I went to the PEERS' River City Picnic dance. Here is the "Congress of Vienna".

On Tuesday I am going to SwingGoths and on Wednesday I have a presentation for my other class. After that things will calm down a bit I hope.

On the work side of things I am still volunteering at UC Berkeley's Health Services Center doing HR Assistant work. I also found another volunteer job and I am helping the firm to create a recruiting strategy for their professional and student jobs.

Oh well, see you when I see you.
