People are crazy.

I have come to the realization that people are just crazy. In a good way. Like... okay. The Fisher grad programs (so MBA, MAcc, MLHR, all the business masters programs) host an annual auction to benefit the Children's Hunger Alliance (WHAT UP KIIIIII!) and the Columbus Children's Theatre (WHAT UP MERRIEEEE). The students and professors donate services, time, items, etc. to the auction and it's being held on Friday. I probs won't go but I mean... the list of things people are donating just makes me so happy. SO MANY PEOPLE donated, and it's amazing. The reason I think people are CRAZY is because there are so so so many diverse things on this list. Please keep in mind that all Fisher grad students probably total up to about... 500, tops. 90 things are being auctioned! And 90% of them are awesome. Here's a list... the diversity of people in Fisher just blows my mind.
  • Home-cooked Italian, Mexican, German, Indian, Chinese, Korean, Nigerian meals cooked by students that ARE THESE THINGS. Like... good ol' Claus is making a German meal that includes something called Kaesespaetzle. What the heck.
  • A Scotch-tasting for 6 (plus dinner) from some guy that apparently knows a lot about Scotch.
  • Various personal trainer sessions by people that are certified personal trainers (you know, when they're not busy working full-time and going to school for their MBA)
  • a custom horoscope and astrology reading based on Indian Vedic astrology
  • one of the negotiations professors is offering an hour session on how to negotiate something of your choice (buying a house, a salary negotiation, etc.)
  • wine tastings
  • a bike tune-up by someone who has 8 years of professional experience
  • scooter tour of Columbus
  • various tutoring sessions for classes
  • Starbucks for a week
  • Valet for a week
  • Piano/guitar/capoeira/shooting/tennis/home beer brewing/self defense/cooking/Taiji Quan/swim/jewelry making/volleyball/dance lessons. Oh, and don't forget the soccer lessons by someone who was on the 1992 Olympic soccer team and played in the MLS for 9 years. Duh.
  • a pair of those freaking red mittens from the Vancouver Olympics
Then there's some funny ones, like 'I will be your wing woman for a week. Includes drinks.' or Brief speech on being epic, guide to several epic bars, epic dress (No Ed Hardy/Affliction/Christian Audigier) and DD duties.'

Just... what? And that's like, seriously less than half of the list. Blows. My. Mind. It makes me like, so proud to be at Fisher or something haha. Oooo corniness.

Haha I seriously just came back to edit this entry because I discovered there was ANOTHER tab of donated things on the excel spreadsheet. These are ridiculous. They include:
  • "Curling with the Canadian" donated by a professor
  • A dozen roses delivered to you anywhere in one of the following costumes: 1) chippendale's dancer 2) captain america 3) the SituAsian (Jersey Shore style)
  • All-expenses paid trip for 4 to Hocking Hills, including rappelling and climbing with equipment, protection, and instruction provided by the donor
  • An over-night trip for 4 to Cuyahoga National Park. The professor will ALSO prepare for you his signature baby back ribs and pulled pork. THEN in the morning he will make you a southern-style brunch including biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs, and mimosas.
  • chauffering around Columbus for up to 5 people in a 1951 mint condition Cadillac
  • Tickets to a Cavs game sitting 5 rows up from the Cavs bench
  • a BBQ for 10-12 people
People are just... crazy.
