Our graduation party (a.k.a Prom) is on 4/24 which is also our last day of class! Get your dates, get your corsages, get your tuxedos rented, buy your dresses, buy your tickets, rent your limos….

A few people have asked me for my thoughts on the iPad. I don’t think I actually know any more than the next person but here are my thoughts anyway.

Term 6!

January 6th, 2010 by RVD · No Comments

We are almost done. I still can’t believe it since it feels like only yesterday that I came in here and started whartonblog.com. I still remember back when I was thinking about getting an MBA, studying for the GMAT, etc.
