First day of class and OSU - Illinois weekend

I had my first night of class this past Thursday and I was pleasantly surprised that the (almost) 4 hours of class went by as quickly as they did. In 812 (Managerial Economics), we discussed a case for the majority of class and in 870 (Data Analysis for Managers), we went over the syllabus and then jumped into the course material. I think it will be a good quarter as long as I stay up to date with my work.

Since Thursday's class I really haven't had time to think about the reading and homework I have to do for class on Tuesday. My girlfriend's family flew in from Chicago on Friday and we've been busy until now. Friday night we went to dinner at Marcella's in the Short North. The food was good but the service was slow and the restaurant was ridiculously loud.

Saturday we went to the OSU - Illinois game. As most of you know, the weather was awful and despite our waterproof jackets and ponchos, we still managed to get pretty wet. Five minutes into the 2nd quarter we decided to go underneath and watch the rest of the quarter. We quickly decided that it would be a good idea to leave at halftime and watch the game from home. The defense looked great and it was nice to see the Buckeyes get another shutout.

Once the rain had cleared Sunday morning, we went golfing at OSU's Scarlet course. It was a little soggy out there and I didn't play very well but we had a great time. Scarlet is one of my favorite courses and for $30 you won't find a better deal in Columbus. For those of you that aren't golf fans, OSU's golf courses were designed by Alister MacKenzie who designed Augusta National (where the Masters is played) and is considered by many to be the greatest golf course architect ever.

Now that the weekend is winding down, it is time to to get started on my homework and readings for class. Thanks for reading...below are a few pictures from the game.
