Finally...no more finals!

I fired off my last obligation of the 2008 school year tonight. I'm looking forward to some relaxation on the plane to Argentina...then a day in Buenos Aires by myself. Followed by a backpacking adventure with la familia Lozano in Patagonia.

Oh wait, I already posted about that. Just an attempt, really, to make my New Jersey friends jealous.

At any rate, I will miss being home in VA. The past weekend was full of some fun:

Jonny picking up my shoes from downstairs. I tell him that the number of shoes I leave downstairs measures how much I love him. I love him a lot!

The Peahen and Jonny oogling a cycling video while Ian photographs their collective cracks. Only The Peahen can rock women's jeans and look so fine.

Gina and Alasdair, some of my favorite classmates, on our final Friday gathering in 2008. Gina is moving to Houston after graduation, so I'm overjoyed to have a good girlyfriend so close (in Texas-speak, anyway). Alasdair, on the other hand, is enjoying the rather ridiculous visa restrictions of US-based companies (can we say "cop out"?). Though the "no foreigners" rule takes a convenient chunk from a candidate pool (and therefore less people you have to turn down after interviewing), it is freakin lame. A tough economy shouldn't grant an excuse to avoid seeking diverse talent. Hell, you need them the most now!

Word has it that MBA kids are treated similarly to temporary workers here in the United States; aiming to escape poverty in their home country. Umm...hello. I've never met a foreign-born MBA student who's impoverished. But whatever, America.

Wendy Huber, my champ and advocate in Darden Admissions, graciously gave Jonny and I this yummy wedding cake. Awww...!

If I can update from Argentina, I shall! Stay tuned...and patient.
