I haven't been on LJ in so long! I just finished my last midterm before Thanksgiving Break tonight, and I am so relieved, even though Linear Algebra sucks. This past weekend, I flew to Omaha, Nebraska and met with Warren Buffett. It was by far the coolest and most informative trip of my life. It was such a unique opportunity- meeting the most ( Read more... )

So I sort of pledged AEPi tonight. They sat me down pretty on the spot, after I had been to a bunch of rush events, and they asked me if I wanted to pledge. I was a little shocked, so I say "yes" and then all the brothers came up and sang to me. I also got lifted up on a chair in a makeshift horah. It felt great to be at the center of attention, ( Read more... )

I can't wait to get back to school. As much as I miss home when I'm at school, I'm currently in limbo at home. Almost everybody has left, and there are few people left to hang out with. I can't wait to get back and see everybody. I can wait, however, for classes to start. I don't want to think about my major (mechanical engineering or economics, ( Read more... )

I haven't been on LJ for so long, but some Israeli here was just on it so i checked it. I miss everybody at home! Facebook is sweet on your birthday. Little story: The head of my age division at camp is a guy named Arie Hasit who graduated from Harvard in 2004 i think. But anyway his roommate during his junior year was a guy named Mark Zuckerberg, ( Read more... )

READING WEEK SUCKS! Finals begin on Wednesday and I have Physics, Math, and International Studies 3 days in a row. This is going to be the worst week ever, because I am not prepared for any of them. Physics expecially. If i weren't a lightweight, I would be raiding the study breaks every night. Last night, I had to pass up pizza from this great ( Read more... )

First weigh-in tomorrow, and I'm pretty scared. I'm going to bed 5 pounds over (160) and I'll hopefully wake up around 158, then sweat before out 5pm weigh-in at the boathouse. Navy race Saturday at Mercer, and hopefully it won't rain. Then I'm coming home :) I'm pretty excited to be able to sleep in my own bed, go out to eat, and see whoever might ( Read more... )

So the past 10 days have been spent in Florida with the crew team. It was definitely a nicer way to spend spring break than rowing up here in cold New Haven, but I am really starting to miss home. My grandmother drove over from the east coast (we were in Sarasota on the west coast) one day to see me, and we went out to breakfast and to the beach ( Read more... )

Its snowingggg here. Sorta sucks, otherwise we could be rowing on the water. Spring break starts tomorrow! It seems like I have barely been back in school- one of my roommates just left to go back to Thailand yesterday. When does everybody else start spring break? Sunday we leave for Florida with the crew team- at least if I can't go home for ( Read more... )
