Decisions, Decisions...Can't Someone Make Them For Me??

Hey everyone...So...First of let me apologize for the really long delay in between posts...I know everyone is sick of me saying how busy I have been, etc. etc. so I will spare you guys the boring details...

The good news is that my life has officially turned the corner!! The next 3 months should in theory now be filled with smooth sailing, lots of travel, and of course...GOLF..:-)

So...to compensate for my lack of posts, I will make this one a little longer than usual...now I know people hate reading long posts (MATT, Miss N) but...that is the best solution I could come up with...

OK...first...GOOD NEWS!!!! We can all celebrate...I got 2 JOB OFFERS!!!! Yep...with awesome firms...So I am on CLOUD 9...even as I write this...but of course...with joy comes more twists and turns in the road of life as they say...so...I have 3 final rounds with some pretty cool consulting firms next week. So, you may ask...why is this idiot subjecting himself to more interviews? Well...Here is the answer...I thought B-School would give me clarity and direction for my career choices...SHOCKINGLY it has not happened...and in fact I am more confused now than ever before...

So what to do? Finance...both roles are amazing sales rotations...lots of $$$ and great firms...but consulting seems like it would really suit me as well...and don't forget that Google and Yahoo! are still lurking as well...UGH...what to do????? Well...that is what I will try to attempt to figure out in the next week or two...if anyone has any great advice to give to me...I AM WAITING..:-)

Now...onto some fun stuff to share....the picture below is BEFORE the Bears broke my heart in the Super Bowl...I look nice for 3:00AM right? So you see...people in London DO watch football...



So...Since the departure of my brother...which has left a gaping hole in my social schedule and a dearly departed companion...I started to reflect on some of my new friends that I have made in the last 6 months...YEP...it has been 6 MONTHS since I arrived in LONDON!!! As I look back, I just can't believe how lucky I have been with LBS and everyone else I have met in London...Friends like Kevin, Joe, and Milan...these are friends I know I will have for life...I can't wait to continue to have amazing adventures with them and with everyone else from this semester...

In terms of Summer time fun...I think that my internship will be 95% in London...so everyone back in the states...START MAKING SUMMER TRAVEL PLANS...I think Wimbleton will be a hot ticket...as will some amazing concerts that London has planned at the new Wembley Stadium...so I am excited to enjoy London in all of its glory this summer...

I will end this post with thoughts on yet another wedding...One of my best friends is getting married on Sunday...So, as I have witnessed practically all of my friends get married in the past few years...I am excited for all of the advice they will give me on my wedding...when it ever happens..:-) So...CONGRATULATIONS to Jordan and Emilie...

Enjoy some pictures from the bachelor party last night...Talk to everyone soon...

Hi! My advice to you would be to go with consulting if you get an offer there (at least as long at is with a decent firm). You already know what banking is like and you now know you can always go there if you don't like the summer.

If you do banking in the summer, you will always wonder what consulting would have been like...

That said, you can't go wrong with any decision you make! Tine to celebrate!
