| | I'm sorry. I'm sorry I've neglected you once again. It was because I was out saving the world . . . and drinking a lot and calling it "grad school".
Yes, I've been busy. Busy busy busy. Life has changed drastically, but fuck damn if it ain't fun. As many of you know, I left the South Bay for a 22 month hiatus in order to pursue higher education in the form of an MBA. The difficulty of the work for each subject is laughable compared to engineering undergrad. However, multiple the variety of work they throw at you by about a billion. There in lies the game.
That, and they pretty much keep you drunk the whole time. By "pretty much", I mean "with a gun to your head while telling you that if you don't drink you'll never have any friends for the next 2 years". I know because I'm taking a marketing class, so I can speak there language now.
As I said, much has changed, and even more has occured. Let's start a short list:
1) Moved to the east bay
2) Got elected as Social representative for my cohort, meaning I plan and help coordinate the social events for the portion of students that I take all of my core classes with (~60 students)
3) Tried to run the "Beer Mile": this is where you chug a beer, run a quarter mile, then repeat until you've completed a full mile. I succeeded in completing the mile. I did not succeed in completing the "not puking 48 oz of liquid) part.
4) I dominated a drunken twister competition. I don't have much time to break up here, but I knew those skills could be applied somewhere.
5) I've been to 3 beer festivals, one in Boston, and 1 scotch tasting. I also started the official Beer Club at my school.
6) I lost my $260 camera on the Bart because I fell asleep on the Bart, woke up in Orinda on the last train, dropped my camera somewhere, then had to take a cab back home to the tune of $40. A very bad night.
7) I was elected "VP of Social" for the MBA Association, meaning for the next year I will plan ALL the social events around the school - I am drunk with power . . . oh wait, that's wine.
8) I landed all A- in my first set of classes with an effort level that would've gotten me expelled in undergrad. Gotta love b-school.
9) I'm currently participating in "No Shave November", which is pretty self-explanatory. My beard (or chin fuzz) has been sponsored for $50, with that money going to charity if I make it through November without shaving. I'm not kidding. But man, do I look completely awful.
And there's been a bunch of other stuff, but your probably so bored that your're coming over hear right now kick me in the temple, so I'll move on.
Actually, there's not much else. Michi the Angry-Looking Japanese chick is still standing by me despite my inavailability, I haven't gotten fat, and I think I have a much better idea what I want to do with my (that feeling might only last about 3 days though).
I have to go drink in the bathroom now. The b-school administration has sensors that can tell when you're sobering up.
