You can never go home again...

I'm back in New York City for Easter break. Although I feel quite comfortable in the house, I can't shake the feeling that a part of me no longer 'belongs' as much here.

The pursuit for a MBA has come to the halfway point, almost. 3 more weeks of this and I will be done with my 1st Year, with 1 more to go. I will be interning at OPIC this summer, hopefully in a fulfilling role assisting with the Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development Finance group. 

I am proud to state that since my embarkment on this graduate degree - I have repeatedly taken steps outside of my 'comfort' zone. I am aware that I paid a lot of money for this education, and I expect to learn the most I can from others, AND myself during this time. Going forward, I hope I can continue my excursions outside of comfort and safety in pursuit of constant challenges and experiences.

Happy Easter.

On the firing line

This week is going to be a test. IBD Presentation next Wednesday, and IBE mid-term next Monday. Here we go.

Walking back from the Courthouse Metro after visiting the U.S. Aid building, I was waved at by a little boy on a bicycle with his dad in tow. Scary as it sounds, that was me TWENTY years ago - on a bike riding on the sidewalk.

I'm soon to be 28!

Good lord. Good lord. Good lord. Scary.
