Save me from DROWNING...

Hey everyone...I write this to you from my comfy window seat, American Airlines flight # 141 heading to NYC...

So the last 10 days of my life technically never occurred...I thought my first semester at LBS was busy...but that seems like a sweet dream compared to what I am going through right now...

Here is a quick recap---Internship season is in full swing...for those of you not in business school...here is what that means...310 people fight, claw, and battle their way to summer jobs...I am one of those lucky 310...so here is what I am going through on a typical day...

Classes--9-12, 2-5
Company Presentations 12:30-2, 6-7:30
Mock Interviews - 8-9, any other possible free time
Cover Letters and Applications - At least 1 hour a day...
Studying - That is a pipe dream at this point...
Social Life is Non-Existent...

So how am I doing you may ask among all of this craziness? I am holding it together...I usually never stress out...but some nights the pressure even gets to me...

Anyway...So I am on a plane flying to NYC for final rounds at a big NYC investment bank for a Sales internship...crazy right? It is about 6 years since I left NYC and the same big investment bank to try new things in life...and now things have basically come back full circle...

Some days I wonder where I would be if I had not left...lots of my friends are still at my first bank, Bank of America...they are now Vice-Presidents...wealthy..supposedly happy...some are married...no one has kids yet...so I wonder...I assume I would have been a lot better off financially and not in huge debt...:-)...but happy? Probably...but who knows...

But other than the money...what would have been different? I guess I can never really answer this question...the experiences that I have had in the last 6 years have been unforgettable in many ways...so I guess I will have to wait until I am 50...when hopefully money won't matter as much as it does currently in my life to truly find out if I made a mistake or not...

In other news...I am excited by the some upcoming visits, and some past visits that I have had recently...So thanks to Keith for coming over...I am praying that you move out here full time by the way!...and thanks to Kevin...I can't wait to see you bud...

To anyone else, here is my schedule in case you are thinking about a trip across the pond...My spring break starts March 24th until April 8th...so most likely I will not be in London during this time...Also, I will be going to RUSSIA!!!! Yep...for my birthday I decided to treat myself...LBS is having a BIG Russia trek this year and I am coming along..So I will be out of London-town from May 2nd to May 8th...Other than that, school ends June 16th...Summer plans are still up in the air...lets see where this internship season ends up...but it could be anywhere from LA to Chicago to NYC to London...who knows...

In terms of travel plans...here are some of my top destinations in case people want to plan a trip:

1. Iceland
2. Dubai
3. Golf trip (Ireland, Scotland, South of Spain/Portugal)
4. Greek Islands / Turkey / Morocco

I think that's about it...sorry for not writing for a while, but life really has kind of crazy...I know its a boring excuse, but I promise its the truth...And sorry for not having pictures lately...Honestly I have not even taken them off of my camera in forever...I will try to get to them ASAP...

OK...Wish me luck...I have 4 interviews next week...so I will try not to stress out too much...
