Wow, it's Friday and everybody is boring

mike murphy at t.n.d.c., overjoyed about his sixer of sol. the guy the right is sporting a cheerwine shirt, which made me a bit nostalgic for the south's original cherry soda, my former sponsor. it's cherry different!

today was our first career discovery forum. i dragged my ass out of bed after a late night of t.n.d.c. i slapped on some pliner heels, my favorite camelhair skirt, and stumbled to darden. i am ashamed to admit that i took a small nap during our keynote intro speaker. he was nice and interesting and all, but couldn't compete with the mathematical reality of "4.5 hours sleep". i sat between nate collier (rad dude on my learning team) and mike murphy and we politely whispered snide comments to one another. i love my classmates.

scott, matt and i. at any given point, you can get a scott in a picture. they make up approximately 95% of our male classmates.

i then went to lunch with shotputter adam nelson. what an awesome guy! he and i had a lot to talk about, being serious athletes trying to make the transition at one of the best business schools in the world. he had amazing clarity of thought, and listened patiently to me as i carried on about life/love/school/work/biking over burgers at five guys. i love that place: you can throw your peanut shells on the floor.

after lunch i escaped from campus, having had enough of the blue shirts. the day's dress was "business casual", which translates to "boring" for girls and "light blue button-down (an upgrade from the late-90s end-on-end blue oxford)" for boys. i swear on jefferson's grave that 90% of the guys in my class were sporting some variation of the light blue offender. it looks cute in isolation, but en masse i'm OVER IT. ian ayers, however, kept it real in a smartly-striped french-cuffed chocolate shirt with dapper slacks to go with his jaunty hair. he is simply adorable even though he is not my boyfriend.

this, race fans, is ian's girlfriend. the one on the right, that is.
