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.

"What do you do with a BA in English?"


Went to "Avenue Q" the smash hit from Broadway is playing in London's Leister square. For those skeptical of muppet show, let me suggest this show is really clever. Its about a kid who graduates from college, and is trying to figure out what to do with his life. Aside from the fact, graduating from a masters program is no different, the silly child-like songs mixed with adult content had the whole audience rolling with laughter.

When I'm not in London, I've been keeping busy job hunting and working on our summer project - which we will finish this week (keep your fingers crossed!). I had a surprise visitor this weekend, when Ali (from DC) came intown. He got the 3 hour tour of Oxford sights and pubs.

I cannot believe I'm so close to finishing! Final CUMMULATIVE examination is Sept. 7. Whole family is coming for graduating cermonies. Then I'm going sailing in Croatia for 5 days with 2 boats full of MBAs. The exact plans for after that have not yet be finalized, but you can bet I will be headed to Tejas soon -- at least for the short term.

Strategic Consulting in London


Our summer project is rolling along. We went friday to IBM's south bank office in London for a meeting with our project sponsor (we dont have to go everyday which is nice since the trains in the summer are often hot and unpredictable). If you have not looked a the link on the side of this page to the Summer MBA projects blog you should... its really cool to see my friends all over the world (India, Nigeria, Peru). I have some serious travel envy!


It was also a good chance to catch up with an old Blue Mountain Ranch (summer camp) buddy, Will, who was in town with his new law firm. Congrats on the job offer Will!
