Winter break was really great. When you're a second year, you're mostly taking elective classes and sometimes classes outside of the Johnson School like I did. I was fortunate that all of my final projects, papers and exams were finished by December 5th, which left me 6.5 weeks of winter vacation. Now THAT is a break. I decided to go on the annual ski trip this year and so I flew out to Steamboat, CO with some of my classmates and had a week-long ski adventure. I'm not a very good snowboarder, so I took lessons with some friends while I was there and in my estimation, I improved dramatically. I'll have to test out my newfound skills at Greek Peak here in Ithaca since I have a season pass. Below are pictures of most of us that made the trip out. As you can see, we had quite a group!
Choosing classes for your last semester is a tricky exercise as I've figured out. On the one hand, this may be the last time that I take this caliber of classes for a long time, so I want to take things that I find interesting. On the other hand, this is my last semester here and I want to have a good time while also learning something. So this was the dilemma I was presented with. I think I've managed to find classes that I'm interested in and a good balance of workloads for them. Mission accomplished!
Well, I'm off to pick up a prospective student for a class visit. I hope that the person finds Financial Statement Analysis as interesting as I do (I'm not kidding. I do find it interesting, at least so far after one class!)
