The fact that I have completed two semesters at LBS recently just dawned on me...partly due to the fact that I just finished my last final 2 hours ago...but hey...I am reminiscing...
I have not written about LBS in a while, so I thought I would dedicate a little time to the reason I am in London...Basically...I have 1 more semester to go and BANG year #1 is done...I just can't wrap my mind around it...where did the time go?
Anyway...Highlights of the second semester included:
1. Milk Round - In London this is what they call the job search...MAN...it was crazy, insane and just unforgettable...I am pretty thankful that I did well...I felt that I learned as much as I could have during the insanity...SO...this summer I will be doing a Sales + Trading Associate Internship at Morgan Stanley. I also will be doing a second internship at Spectrum Consulting...a really cool Media strategy consulting shop with 8 offices throughout Europe and Asia.
2. Classes - This was an interesting semester...basically took a lot of "soft skills" courses...Marketing, Organizational Behavior---but the course that I liked the best was Decision and Risk Analysis...Go figure...but...this was not the semester of classes that really blew me away...Looking forward to Summer Term...I have Strategy 2...which I am excited about...with some more of the usual Accounting and Economics...I am keeping my fingers crossed...
3. Misc. - I had some great times this semester on things that I finally had a chance to work on. In my Entrepreneurship class we had an amazing trade show...over 100 Angel investors came and checked out my prototype (That's me standing next to my bud Will, who was trying to push his cooking invention)...I also had a chance to bring Microsoft to campus...along with X-Boxes, Zunes, and lots of great speakers...it was a great night.
LASTLY...I am proud to report that I tried out and got a spot on the LBS University Challenge Team!!! For anyone who does not know what this is...basically it is like Jeopardy...for schools...YEP...I will be on TV if our team can get past round #1---I am really excited for this...lets see what happens...
OK...enough of the school stuff...I did a chance to pack in some fun stuff the last week...Most notably I saw an AMAZING play...the HISTORY BOYS...It was really eye opening and I thought also very thought provoking as well. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone...
Now...St. Patricks Day in London is INSANE...As you saw with me and the flag...the night was incredible. It was really great to see so many Irish people out and about...Just walking from pub to pub...the life and energy in the crowds was intoxicating...the Guinness helped as well...For an unforgettable experience, some to London next year for St. Pats...I promise you won't be disappointed...
Also...I got a chance to see SHAKIRA...yep...SHAKIRA...what can I say...she rocks like crazy...She put on an exceptional show...running around, jumping, etc. She made Christina look like an amateur. My seats were amazing, so check out the pics...YEAH..I WAS THAT CLOSE!!
Lastly...Spring hit for about 1 week...I tried to enjoy every second, as it is now FREEZING...so it was great to see some of my friends outside of LBS as well...I got some golf in...and my buddy Keith came in from San Franciso (Yes that is real English Ale he is drinking)
Well I am off to my friend Kevin's birthday party tonight...It will be really nice to relax now that finals are DONE...
I want to wish everyone a happy Passover, Easter, etc. I will be in Israel and Egypt the next two weeks...so...see everyone next time, with some fun pictures in tow...
PS...Take a peek at the car of my dreams...WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE IT RIGHT??????
