I haven’t written in a while and to those who care what I have to say from time to time I apologize. My first few weeks of school have been packed to say the least. Of course this is not meant to complain, as we make our own bed (figuratively of course - literally we all [...]

Coming up on my second and final year I would like to reflect on what’s happened since I last wrote; particularly my summer and internship in NYC. After school ended I had about a month before my internship started in NYC, giving me a lot of time to chill before my expected 100+ hour weeks [...]

First off, Merry Christmas, happy Chanukah, happy Kwanza (or whatever you celebrate in December) and also happy 2009. I think it can be said that in general 2008 was a VERY interesting year (to say the least) and 2009 promises to continue that trend. Some of the highlights for me include:

Not much content here, I just wanted to let you all know: First semester is busy. Very busy. Meeting new people, networking, classes, projects, challenges, treks, meetings, informational interviews, job search…all this adds up to a few different things, at least to me:
