Ahhhh, vacation. (1 year down, 1 to go)
I am done done DONE for the year! I finished my last exam, handed my half of my ethics paper to my groupmate with my
signature confirming all the work was our own (he hadn't written his
half, I trust him!) and proceeded to enjoy margaritas on the roof of
the Car Barn. I followed that with drinks on the roof of a friend's
apartment overlooking the city. There were some mini-kegs involved.
DC
doesn't have tall buildings thanks to the Washington Monument. I think
I was actually trying to take a photo of my apartment building with my
camera (I live 3 blocks from where I was), but then someone distracted
me with pizza before I managed to take photos of the rest of the 360
view. I went home early and caught the 5 am train to Boston where I
hung out with friends, went to all our favorite haunts (woo hoo BHP!)
and generally had a great relaxing weekend. When I got back I presented at
FINCA with my Service Corp
consulting team and then enjoyed a great dinner with my small group. I
realized I don't have a single photo of the five of us together! Our
group really was one of the best in our class. We all got along and
worked together incredibly well and I will miss them next year! We all
agreed that we will find each other in our electives next year...
Speaking
of next year we had preregistration for next year already. I only got 4 out of 8 of
my original class choices for next semester, which when I compared to
my friends was TERRIBLY unlucky. Everyone else I know got between 6 to all 8
of their first choice classes. I really got 5/8 of my classes, as I
managed to get into a different section for one of my original choices.
I am staying on the waitlist for my 6th and 7th, and the 8th I wasn't
wedded to in the first place. A new finance elective that I am
interested in opened up after preregistration so I jumped at that, and I also turned in
the form for a microfinance elective offered in the school of foreign
service I really want to take. So first semester (two modules) I will
be taking:
Mergers & Acquisitions
Financial Services Management
Advanced Regression Analysis
International Finance
Advanced Marketing Strategy
Leading Organizational Change
Global Strategy
Microfinance
and something else...
I have a great summer to look forward to- I'm doing a fair bit of work at organizations I believe in, I'm in a wedding and I won't be moving! See you next year!
