Bonds, Bond and Bon

So I've been back in London a month, and have been so dang busy I haven't had time to post anything. My New Year's resolution was to have one "hilary" night a week, where I just say no to my friends and stay in and get things done. That's been almost every night! And I still haven't managed the truly personal stuff!! Anyway, the title is the three things that seem to be taking up the most of my time at the moment.

Bonds - It's funny that the last time I wrote was when I was studying for the Finance final, because here I am again, studying for the Part II Final. It's a week from today, and I've been so caught up with other things that I basically have to learn everything from the past 6 weeks of classes in a week!! Yikes! good thing is that I think I have about 1/6 of it down really well. Only 5 more to go!

Bond - I'm the chair of the Winter Ball. yes, i'm pretty much a glutton for punishment. But I love it. The theme is Casino Royale, and it's gonna be awesome. I've put a lot of work into it, so even if it's not, my friends better tell me it is. haha. here's the 'flyer' type thing we are using for advertising on campus

Bon - French class is up and running for me, and we've got our first exam the Tuesday after the Finance exam. It'd be fine, but this weekend is also the LBS Rugby Tournament, which of course I've also gotten myself involved in the planning of, because I just can't sit by and let things be!! Anyway, we've got 6 teams coming to play - IESE (Barcelona), INSEAD (Paris), Smurfit (Dublin), Columbia (New York), and Wharton (UPenn). We're entering 2 teams. The boys have INSEAD and Harvard coming to play, and they are also entering 2 teams. There are 200 people playing in the tournament! We have a dinner and a party, it's going to be a blast!

Other than that stuff, there's of course rugby still going on...we went to Cranfield for a Burn's Night party (famous scottish poet) - we won the tournament and had a great time doing Scottish dancing - it's like square dancing and was an absolute blast! My camera was dead, so I'm still waiting on pics from that one. I also went and skied in Austria for a VERY short weekend. BREATHTAKING! And talk about a testament to God's amazing creation! This cross was at the top of a very high peak as you got off one of the chair lifts. From the lift, you could see a whole range of the Alps...very very cool. Couldn't quite get that angle from below, but it's still pretty neat!

The house we stayed in was just what you would picture a ski chalet in the alps to look like. Check out that view! And it was ski in/ski out, which was very cool.
So right, it's a crazy busy couple more weeks, until the Winter Ball is over, then I'll be able to spend more time being a lazy student. Oh wait...there's also recruiting for summer internships!! haha. I'll slow down some day.

Thanks to all of you that have been sending me notes! I"m sorry I'm so slow on the response, but this is a much easier way to let you all know what's going on in my life at the same time!
