Welcome to my blog. After 22 years in Texas and 3 in Washington DC, I now find myself in Oxford, England for Graduate School. In between alot of hard work, I am having some amazing adventures and "learning experiences" this year that I wanted to share.

Wales


Our summer consulting project started Wednesday. This the final component of our degree. We work for a company for 8 weeks then write a 15,000 word report. Our team is working with IBM Consulting who has a client based in Swansea, on the coast of southern Wales. Did you know you the Prince of Wales has no governance over the country? The Welsh language is quiet interestsing with entirely too many consonants to work out any of the words.

So we drove (about 3 hours) and stayed over night. For a team who had never driven in the UK we did surprisisngly well navigating all the round-abouts! We had loads of meeting and a tour of the facility. Before returning home we had lunch in an area called "Mumbles" on the coast.
