I just wanted to note that right before Baccalaureate Service on the 19th of May, I met with the famed economist, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs. He has contributed to the field of economic development in more ways than any individual can fathom. It goes without saying that I was completely starstruck (in an academic sort of way) and also inspired.*On the left is Stefan, a graduate economics tutor who attended the symposium @ SMU with me.
Well friends and family, its ALL over! I finished with two degrees in four years, woohoo! It was a long day with commencement in the morning (missed that...oops), the finance diploma presentation in the afternoon, and then the econ diploma presentation right after that...lovely.
Lately, I have been playing sand volleyball, sleeping in, working on the ol' body ;), and enjoying the joys of a Great Mavs Team in the Playoffs! Life is good.Explore. Learn. Grow. Push. Achieve.Note: Plans for summer so far -- Taking one class in June for economics, need to find a job in the meantime, staying in Dallas during that time. In July, I am traveling to either India, Southeast Asia, or Italy..sort of a toss up!
Well, it's time to talk about summer plans friends. This summer of 2006, unfortunately, will start off by taking class from June 1st to June 31st. Within that time period, I will attend the wedding of Stephen Branch on the 10th and the wedding of another good friend, Andrew Fuller on the 31st - July 1st.
After that whole period, I will be DONE forever with undergraduate college work (graduate still to come..WOOHOO!). Where things get a little foggy is in July...what to do..hmmm
-India
-China
-Southeast Asia
The key here is that I start work the 7th of August @ Sabre Holdings in Southlake, so I need to be back pretty quick. That gives me one month.
This morning I was contemplating working for that month doing something really obscure, but instead, I realized that traveling in itself will be a challenge and push me to my limits...so NO work in July.
I'll keep thinking about this EVERY single night and morning and come back with something substantive soon...
I guess we'll just see what happens!
<--80 people...80 bikes...4 1/2 hours...the entire city of Dallas...oh and plenty of drinks, food, and fun.-->------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes, my friends, that is how I spent this past Sunday. Riding a bike (!! oh my god, isn't he crazy!) through the city of Dallas with, for the most part, strangers..haha.(except for my Italian prof. Damiano, Italian compagna Audra, and la mia buona amica Emily).These pictures are only a snippit of the time we had. Geez...probably one of the best time I have ever had...people were sooo chill.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Happens every Sunday @ 6pm, usually @ West Villagewww.uptowncycles.com
