18th Floor BalconyFor the first time in either of my collegiate careers, I went on vacation for Spring Break. To Puerto Rico nonetheless. It was awesome. But first, some things from Columbus.As I'm sure all of you readers out there recall from high school literature class, the dramatic structure consists of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and finally the dénouement. Well, as it turns out, business school sort of follows a similar structure.The climax of my business school career was Winter Quarter 2011.

Welcome. Things are finally letting up a bit around here so hopefully I'll have some more time to write these.Business school is full of buzz words, three letter acronyms (for which there is a three letter acronym - TLA), and general lingo. Buckets. Bucketed. Impactful. ERP. TMI. FPS. Hats. Hard Stop. Bull-whip. So many more that I can't think of because they are just part of my vocabulary now.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.- John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1962Its been 70 days since my last post. I didn't forget about all of you out there, I was just too busy living life. Please don't take it personally.

...and all I get is some crummy pizza. Maybe Panera boxed lunches if I'm lucky.I recently got re-trained on how to be a blogger. Yep, the first training apparently wasn't enough. Expectations were clearly set - thou shalt publish at least one blog post per week. I promptly ignored that.Actually, I didn't really decide to ignore that stipulation. Despite what some members of the class ahead of us claimed, the second year of business school is no easier than the first. In fact, I think it's probably even more difficult.

'Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all.-Lord Tennyson(Don't be alarmed - no one died in the making of this blog post)Firstly, it was wonderful to be on campus yesterday for the Buckeye football game versus Miami. Beating the U didn't hurt either.Secondly, being back in Columbus has been great so far. I've already had the opportunity to mix and mingle with many members of the first year class (I've finally accepted being called a second year).
