One down, a dozen or so to go. I got back from the intensive portion of my first MBA course on Friday, after 6 days just north of the city at our training facility. The work (kind of like a cross between finance and economics) wasn’t too bad, it’s just being trapped in there for 6 days, taking in piles of information, bland food and recycled air, takes a toll on you. But I know more about yield curves and derivatives now than I did a week ago, and I got to know many of my classmates. All in all, a good first trip…the first of many. I go back again in January.

Since I’ve gotten back I’ve done my best to relax…ordered food and basically justacted like a zombie Friday night, went out with G&C last night for steaks and beer. Today’s been chore day, and involved me stupidly getting on the subway at the same time that all the parents & kids heading to/from the Santa Claus Parade. Bad, bad idea. I’m never willingly having children.
