Back in the swing of things

It's amazing how much smoother the second year is. Thank goodness. I don't think I could have taken the stress of the first year again. The great thing about this year is that we take electives and not core classes. I am actually enjoying all of my classes so far. Plus the amount of work is like halved in comparison to last year which is always a good thing.

My summer was fantastic. It was so nice to be in the same city as my boyfriend and family and my beautiful new niece! And I was pretty lucky that my job, albeit stressful, was truly a 40 hour a week job. I received the full time offer on my last day of work which is always a good thing. I'm deciding now whether or not I want to return, I have a little more time before I have to decide. There are a lot of pros but I think for me the cons are outweighing the pros right now, that may change. I'm going to attend some of the upcoming MBA career fairs to see if I get any bites on my resume and if I feel that there is significant interest in me then I'll be a little more confident and be able to turn down the offer. But the internship was great and I learned a lot...I'm just not so sure the culture is for me. Ya veremos!

This year I have several goals...all very selfish. I plan on having a life. I just bought a fantastic new road bike and I wnat to start racing! I'm broadening my horizons...not just marathons anymore, I want to start racing and actually winning on the bike! And if I take to it...maybe my boyfriend and I will head to France next July to ride parts of the tour and watch Lance take number 8? Who knows?

My other goal is to write at least once a month on this blog. We'll see how that goes...

Cheers-
