Partying the Target Way in Hot-Lanta


Part of the whole NSHMBA experience included parties and functions hosted by the various companies sponsoring the conference. Each company has a different venue and they range from networking events (cocktails and hors doeurves while you stand around making idle chit-chat) al la Johnson & Johnson to full on parties (open bar, dance floor & DJ and lounge style seating.) Target's party was the place to be. It definitely fell into the later category and was SO much fun! (never mind that my feet were KILLING me! 12 plus hours walking around in 3 inch heels and then cutting loose on the dance floor definitely takes its toll on your feet, but you have to look good!) BYU took up at least a quarter of the dance floor and 95% of those dancing are marketing majors (We are so much more fun than everyone else)... I have to admit that it was a little awkward as it was us single girls with the married men. (You have to love graduate degree programs in Provo!) But don't worry, the guys made sure that the girls were all in the middle and they surrounded us, that way it didn't look like the guys were dancing with one another, but at the same time the married guys made sure they weren't dancing with us girls either. It really was a lot of fun and it was a much needed break from the stress of school. Midterms are next week and so it was nice to forget about school for a day or two and play with my friends, well my MBA friends anyway.
