Full Circle

Sometimes there are those moments when you realize that you are getting older. Today was one of those for me. When I grew up my dad had this HP financial calculator (he still has it today), that was so fancy. The main reason I thought that, was I couldn't understand how to use the damn thing. I thought that my Dad was so cool because he could use it. My dad probably doesn't know this, but I used to sneak it and try to figure out how to use it. I was fascinated with it as a little kid. Well now I have become my Dad. I am starting my Global finance class on Monday, and I went a bought a financial calculator.(of course I had to buy an HP) When I opened it up and started pressing the buttons, I was immediately taken back 20 years. The buttons feel exactly the same as my Dad's calculator, so you can imagine how happy I am about that.(that was the thing I remembered most about his calculator) Sometimes it surprises me how much like my Dad I become everyday.

Moore School of Business

What you are looking at there is my new Home. That's right I spend about all of my life there lately. That is the Fancis Hipp building where the business school is located. So far B-School has been awesome. I am having so many great experiences, and I have met so many great people. This week I finished up my Global Strategic Management class, and my Globalization and Ethics class. My current schedule is Global Entrepreneurship, Financial Accounting, International Management, and Decision Analysis (stats). I know that most everybody reading this will think this is boring but I love it. Even though I am studying till about 11 every night, I am loving it. All of my classmates have such amazing experiences, and it makes class so interesting everyday. 

South Carolina has been great so far. The heat is a little much at times, but so far I love everything about living in the South. Plus the BBQ here is great. And for a guy that loves BBQ as much as me, that is a plus.
