Well...I wanted to take a well deserved blog entry to reflect upon the fact that my first year at LBS is 3 weeks from conclusion...I am in a state of disbelief...nuts right?
Anyway...Some of the stuff I have done the last 6 weeks of my life, I will 100% remember forever...and I know that I would never have been able to what I have done without LBS. Looking back, I can now say that without any doubt, LBS was the best decision I have made in a long, long, long time...
Before I sound like a complete dork, here are some of the highlights that I have enjoyed recently:
1. The chance to go on some really cool Treks where I have seen and met with companies that I never would have met with otherwise...
i.e. - Dubai, Silicon Valley
So...let me give you a sample of an incredible day on the Silicon Valley Trek...(By the way, as an aside, I decided that San Francisco is my favorite US city other than my beloved Chicago)
--Meet with the founder of HOT OR NOT.COM---Who is astonishingly candid, open, and captivating...
--Venture Capital Panel with Stanford Business School...We heard from Accel and a bunch of other cool firms...but of course FaceBook dominated the discussion...our final analysis = Accel is really smart!
--Touring the Yahoo! and Google campuses...I felt that I was in college again...it was another world that I have never seen before...FOOD EVERYWHERE!Also..when you travel to these far off lands, you really bond with you MBA classmates more than ever...I am really happy with my new friends and all of the relationships that I have made...Despite my depression that first year is almost over, I am already looking forward to second year...which leads me into my next big LBS related announcement...
I AM GOING ON EXCHANGE AT KELLOGG!! I know it sounds funny to go on exchange to Chicago...but LBS has a great partnership program with a few select schools and I could not pass up the opportunity to see what Kellogg has to offer. So, everyone can get excited for some fun Chicago adventures from September to December...
In the meantime...I am way behind on some fun London, non-LBS related updates...Many of my friends have celebrated birthday's lately...so...roll call please...Happy Birthday: KEVIN, MAYUR, MILAN, ANIL, JAMIE, PAYTON and everyone else I probably forgot because I am AWFUL with birthdays. I also celebrated my 29th year on this earth last week...so thank you to everyone who called, wrote, or somehow communicted with me :-) But more on my B-day in my next post...
Lastly, with all of the new Chicago excitement, I'll with a fun weekend I recently had in Chicago...which included a friends, a trip to Wrigley Field, Beer Gardens, proper hot dogs, and my amazing mother's 55th Birthday!
Finally...I am beginning my official build the buzz for TRANSFORMERS campaign...it comes out July 2nd...GO SEE IT!
Talk to everyone soon...
