Ha, You Said ‘Crap’ | January 23rd, 2009

I applaud the New York Times for embracing its inner 13-year-old with this story:

Obama Orders Halt to Prosecutions at Guantánamo

While I think it’s good to close down this negative symbol of America, I’m still curious what the new administration plans to do with the detainees. Now that we’re back with a lawyer president, much less a law professor, I hope he has a plan.

XLIII! | January 19th, 2009

They committed way too many penalties, they couldn’t run against Baltimore, the refs made some horrendous calls, and yet the defense still dominated this one enough to take it in the end. The Steel Curtain shuts it down again!

NY Jet Rescue: Amazing and Reaffirming | January 15th, 2009

I’m sure everyone has heard about the jet that ditched into the Hudson River today just off of Manhattan. The photos are pretty incredible, but what’s even more incredible is how everyone was able to get off the plane alive and well. From the pilot to the rescue crews to the passengers on the ferry, I am amazed at how everyone did exactly what they needed to do to ensure the outcome. As stark as things can seem, this is why I don’t lose hope in the U.S. and humanity.

The First Interview Tomorrow | January 12th, 2009

Hey fans.

My bad about not writing at ya, but we’re in the midst of interviewing season here at Ross, which has proven to be the weirdest time of the year so far. I thought the end of Fall B was pretty packed, but this is something else altogether.

People are definitely concerned about getting something for the summer, and while I think everyone’s secretly hoping they get something early and no longer have to worry about everything else, people are definitely gregarious and wishing each other luck. Frankly that’s why I’m glad I’m at Michigan: I’ve heard peeps at other schools will hate on your interview chances and be open about the cutthroat tactics, and I’m sure there are a few people here doing that, but they’re in the minority as far as anyone can tell.

Anyway, my first big interview is tomorrow — two 45-minute case+fit interviews in a row, so I’m sitting here reading up on cases and some company history. Wish me luck so’s I can rock things properly. Later.
