A few people have asked me what I think about the $700B government bailout.  Well, first of all, I don’t really know much about this stuff.  After all, I’m just a first year MBA student.  In addition, I’m only around 1/2 way through the term in Macroeconomics and I haven’t even started studying yet.  In […]

Today is 9/11.  I took a quick moment of silence today to remember the events that took place 7 years ago (hard to believe it’s been so long).  9/11 was one of those days that for the rest of your life you will remember and relive what you were doing on that fateful day.  Like […]

Yesterday was our last night in Philly.  Most of our class flew back home on Saturday night but a few people went up to NYC to see friends and family.  A group of us stayed in Philadelphia for an extra night to wind down.

We had a long day today.  Classes started at 7:30AM.  But let’s start with last night…
After another full day of classes from 9AM-6:15PM, most of us from Wharton West had to finish up our Stat and OPIM homework assignments.  Our group was pretty disciplined about this first assignment so all of us (except 1 but […]
