My oh my
It’s been incredibly hectic since I arrived at Cornell. I’ve been in school for only 3.5 weeks but already I have midterms next week. The weather’s starting to cool down and the leaves are starting to change.
I have done the inevitable though I never thought a month ago I would be doing this- I’m learning how to play golf. Yesterday I played my first 18 holes with a recruitter from Price Waterhouse Cooper. And boy did I stink. I have no idea how to hit the ball off the tee- most of my balls just rolled down about 10 feet in front of the little wooden thing. But i’ve been taking lessons and have a decent chip shot and pitch shot. Problem is, they only show themselves about 50% of the time. I was able to sink two puts from about 10 feet away for par so that was pretty cool. Don’t think I’ll be working for PWC this summer though.
My housemates are pretty cool. Will, a graduate stats student, lives on the first floor. He’s another Californian though he’s from the O.C. Seems to be incredibly smart but has a bit of an ego. Rafael is a first year law student from Puerto Rico. I always thought 1st year law students were studious but he’s quite the partier on the weekends.
I thought my workload would be more mellow once I started school but I find myself working at least 12 hour days between classes, team meetings, and looking for a summer job. It’s pretty crazy but exhilirating as well. The constant immersion in work will definitely make the next two years go by pretty quickly.
Sorry that this blog isn’t as humorous as my other ones. Just wanted to give an update. Hope every one’s doing well.
