Back in action
It’s been a really long time since I’ve written a blog post. A ton of different stuff has happened to me personally, professionally, and academically over the last few months. My grandfather was diagnosed with cancer in late June, and he passed away in early August. That was the first time in my adult life that I had to deal with death, and the first death of a close friend and family member. I started my MBA at University of San Francisco in late August, and am neck deep in my coursework. So far, I’ve met a ton of great classmates and am enjoying my two courses – macroeconomics and learning to lead. At Stanford, our fiscal year recently ended and we have started a new one. Not surprisingly, we had less donors and dollars than in years past, but are pretty on par with our peer institutions. I’ve also finally gotten an iPhone, which has gotten my much more involved with twitter and foursquare. Hopefully, this will be the first of many more frequent postings in the coming weeks. Tomorrow, I’m heading to Stanford very early for a presentation by Charlene Li, the founder of the Altimeter Group.
