We went up to NYC this weekend for a great wedding of my friends Matt and Nelly. It was an awesome event, very fun and interesting.

It also provided me a forced opportunity to stop working for just about the first weekend in 3 months. It was incredible. But now I have to buckle down again and get caught up. I spent all last week working on a paper I was freaked out about, and put off my reading, so I have a couple hundred pages to read tonight. I guess I'll stay up all night again... I actually got plenty of sleep this weekend, so I should be good for a while now. hehe.

I still have no idea how I'll do on exams, but I have to be optimistic or it just won't work. ;) I'm sure things will be fine in the end, but it's crazy how you only have one exam at the end and no other feedback. And just when I think I should be starting to work the hardest, all sorts of other opportunities for networking, looking for jobs, seminars and workshops, etc., are coming up.

Paul, a very good friend from college and after, is coming back from INSEAD in a couple of months, and will probably be in Pittsburgh for a while, which is cool. It was awesome to see all my friends from college again up in NYC, and argue about politics, economics, law, philosophy, and everything else again. Hopefully we'll have more chances to hang out after I finish exams in December.

I absolutely need to get the remote for my iPod, but I have to wait until my birthday or something, since it's one of the only things anyone can give me that I can use for a gift. I am going crazy over that remote.
