November 2

In order to reach my goal of 2 posts for the month of November, here we go. School is winding down. I have 1 final and a bunch of presentations, papers, and assignments left. Today I have a presentation for my Asia economy class. We’re taking the position that a Chinese company should acquire a Japanese company to vertically integrate wind turbine production to supply wind power companies with the entire product.


The interesting part is I’ve already been told I look like Carlton and satan today, so much for dressing up. I guess it might be the red, slightly styled, hair; the awesome suite sweater combo; or the facial hair I’m trying to sport. Even though my goal is not necessarily to appear “evil”, I guess I am achieving the goal of looking businessy. Though I think saying I look like Satan is a stretch; well to be honest, Carlton is also a stretch. Hopefully our presentation goes well. Luckily the presentation is only 10 minutes and it’s pretty hard to have a lot go wrong in just 10 minutes (knock on wood).

Christmas is coming and I’m getting pretty excited for that. It’ll be nice to see the family again. I should probably get started on my Christmas shopping.

November 1

In order to meet my goal of 2 blog posts in a month I have decided to finally get started. It hasn’t snowed in Boston yet; thank goodness. The word is, it’s pretty cold, but I have some doubts; more on this to come.

The professors are still trying to destroy me. It isn’t so much the difficulty, but the quantity. The Financial Modeling class I’m in is fascinating. Basically you look at a bunch of data and make financial decision. The only problem is the assignments take a minimum of 5 hours to complete. Also, they need to take modeling out of the title. It makes it sound sexier than it really is.

On a completely different note, I found a place with racquetball courts. Way too much time has gone by since I’ve played. Squash is fun, but really can’t quite compare. Plus, it can make a good fall back date.

I also would highly recommend that anyone that visits Boston visit the Boston Museum. I went this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed myself. They even have an indoor monkey room, and yes they are live monkeys! They weren’t really freaking out too much, but I bet if I keep going back I can make something happen.
