Ho Ho Ho



Well, it has been a pretty crazy week. Milano shut down and we all went to the mountains for our first SKI Club event. We decided to go to Bormio for three days of snowboarding and goodtimes, and boy was it a good choice! The snow quality was fantastic and the town was very beautiful! I think I had more fun there then I have had in a long time. I even dressed up as Santa for the first day of skiing!

So after all the craziness of the weekend, we tried to take a train home, but the train came 2 hours later than we thought, so we pulled up a seat at the bar and had a couple beers while we waited, which is not a bad thing :)

Then last night was my birthday. I didn't really think I would do too much for turning 25, but then I decided I might as well go for it and prove that I still have it! It turned out to be a really fun night, but I am feeling the pain now.

Well guys there are 4 more exams, 2 group projects, 12 days and a 20 hour flight keeping me from the Bay, so I better get back to it!

Ciao

Let the skiing begin, NOW!



Well, two tests are done and only four more to go. The next rounds of exams are in about 3 weeks from now. I have marketing, economics, quant, and finance tests to complete. I am not really worried about any of them besides economics. I get the macro stuff pretty well, but I never could get the hang of micro econ. Wish me luck.

The snow in Milano has been pretty awesome. I remember when I was a kid and I would watch movies where kids had to walk to school in the snow. I don't know why, but I always wished that I could too. I wished that I lived in a snowy environment. Well, today I completed a life long goal and walked to school in 30 degree weather in the SNOW!!! Now the picture to the left is not from my walk, but its cool. The snow in my walk barely stuck to the ground and was a little bit wet, but it was great! I have been a little bit lazy in posting photos, but I promise I will get back into it next post.

This weekend I go to Bormio for three nights of fun and 3 days of skiing! It will be my first time boarding since that one client I used to have had an IPO and ruined ski season for me. I'm not bitter. PS, here is the town I will be staying in when I go skiing. Ok guys, ciao. Ci vediamo.
