JPMorgan Investment Banking!

pretty self-explanatory i think :D

i'm not totally jobless! i won't have to live on someone's floor and write a book over the summer!

recruiting is starting to wind down -- or if not wind down, at least start to become less stressful. chances are, i'll be in san francisco this summer. not too unhappy with that. i'd like to be in new york but i love sf too :)

flip flop

Somehow in the past two days my sleeping schedule has changed completely - I've been going to bed around midnight, and getting up at 6:30 am or so. Not so much because I'd rather be awake in the morning or have extenuating reasons to be, but because I get really tired at night...and sleep seems like a more attractive option than anything else at the time :P

Yesterday I get a chocolate almond cake to celebrate nothing at all and then people came over and we all ate cake! It was quite lovely. I didn't like the cake itself that much though, so I'm going to scout out other bakeries nearby....

a particular lack of skill

i don't think i have the hang of recruiting down. how am i supposed to market myself? i don't know!
....

lack of knowledge -> total failure in this regard

....

i feel as if i should be worrying legitimately about what i'm going to end up doing this summer, but i'm not...in some ways i don't really care that much. if the rest of the world (read: my parents) would be ok with it, i could seriously be happy just traveling through china and writing a book. as it is i'll take what i can get.

back from the slopes at tahoe

i decided to not ski again and instead tried snowboarding for the first time :D

oh man. so sore. the entirety of both arms and legs, shoulders, back, fingers...i basically can't move at all (except possibly to type) without feeling it. but it was totally worth it. what a great weekend.

i await 4 pm

when 40+ math campers will descend upon my house for the following 20 hours. my house, which i still need to finish cleaning. but it's so cozy here in bed....i think i'll stay here just a bit longer.

the break has been going wonderfully so far. really good. i've seen all my favorite people from high school, even those i had't seen in a year or two before now. no one has changed at all :P i miss being with my austin friends! i really wish we got to see each other more than twice a year or something.

my brother is also adorable. i've decided this officially. when i am not strapped for time, i will think of a relevant story to post.

oh!! i just remembered. someone tried to call me yesterday, i think on skype--i figured it was someone overseas, but wasn't sure who...sorry i missed your call! i was at the gym! it doesn't mean i don't like you.

it starts

mmm.....5 finals in the next 72 hours. then i'll be done :) i have 7 minutes left before i have to leave for my first one (statistics) and i'm sitting in my room eating peach yogurt. i didn't get enough sleep last night but i feel okay right now.

i hope everyone else's weeks are off to a good start, finals or no. to those of you in or soon-to-be-in austin--see you soon :)

i'm tired

yeah. new york was fun. plane rides are tiring. i met a guy who was a swimmer for stanford back when its men's team was first in the nation. he was really nice. i also met hugh grant's older brother, who apparently is a managing director at jp morgan. he was also really nice. i also sat on planes for 14 hours or something. not so nice.

generally tired. for some reason i've had sort of a draining week or so--days are okay, nights not so good, just want to sleep a lot (which i've certainly done). reading is okay too. not much more.

i am being attacked

by many problem sets and midterms and projects and meetings!!

that's okay. on friday i'm seeing the magic flute in san francisco, how happy.
saturday is the GRE and that's not as happy :(
but sunday is transformers at flicks! maybe. unless i'm too busy doing my take-home midterm that's due monday morning...but i hope i'm not.

i'm scattered. and semi-confused. lately while i walk to class (which takes a long time, because stanford is huge and i walk slowly) i've taken to thinking about what to write in my will--for example, that trevor gets my fuzzy pillow if i ever die! it's kinda interesting. it amuses me anyhow.
