finish line in sight!

i'm ALMOST done with my finals. usually i have to mentally allocate my daily energy just to make it 7 days in a row...this week is no different but it involves the high pressure-situation of 5 finals in a row. joy! 5 hours each! okay, it's only 4 tests and 1 paper. which is fine by me. the only a's i got in undergrad were from writing or creating something. NOT from analyzing the supply/demand curve (or whatever that thing is).
on saturday respite will arrive in the form of an overnight flight to buenos aires. though sven accuses me of going on a glorified spring break where i open my laptop twice, i disagree. it is for a class credit and our group is doing a firm valuation and operating strategy for an argentinian business. i'm excited to experience the city my sister called home for a semester in the last millennium. plus, i get to eat some yummy argentine beef. grass-fed is my favorite!
it's bell lap, mandy.

just like a 'cross race.

ps: did you know that we never really talked about the supply/demand curve in first year economics at darden? this goes to show just how different an mba econ class is from the academic hell inflicted on undergrads in the name of liberal arts education. i loathed those core classes.
pps: i want this cd. thanks, pandora, for getting me hooked.
ppps: thanks, bill, for the sweet 'cross racin pic.
pppps: damn, that is a sweet bike.

5ps: this is officially the funniest cycling site ever. read it. every link. then go to the archives and read every single one. i will do the same while in argentina and report back, stat.
