The Alabama Crimson Tide are 14-time national champions!!!!!!! Wooohooo! I have been extremely fortunate to be a part of both #13 and #14 - thirteen as a student and fourteen as an alum. While thirteen was one of the most memorable days of my life, this championship was an extremely unique situation for me since Bama played LSU and I'm from Louisiana but for Alabama. I got to spend time with both high school and college friends and it was a blast! The absolute best part was the ten minute walk i made from Jackson Square to Canal Street following the game... hugging, high-fiving, and roll-tiding every stranger in red! Us Bama fans spent the previous weekend being heckled and pelted by Mardi Gras beads by LSU fans. We finally got to scream Roll Tide and celebrate Bama's accomplishments... and LSU could not say a single word!!! Its hard to trash talk when your team crosses midfield once... in the 4th quarter... puts up zero points... lets the opponent score 6 times. Ahhhh glorious!
#13 - Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA
#14 - Jackson Square, New Orleans, LA

Happy 2012!!! Time flies when you're having fun... or super busy. A few resolutions of mine: follow a consistent workout plan (like every other person on the planet), get an internship (a MUST!!!), set and follow a budget, learn how to properly use my camera, and continue to travel as much as possible. Nothing earth shattering but all very important. This NYE, I attended one of those prepaid events that includes all your dinner and drinks, a band, balloon drop, etc. Although you ring in the new year with a couple hundred strangers (and, in my case, some awesome MBA friends!), it was actually really fun! And, yes, the balloon drop was totally the best part!

I have officially started my 2nd semester of business school. Crazy. This semester will be extremely different from the first due to the structure of the program. We are done with the core (accounting, marketing, economics, etc.) and now choose our own classes. Best parts... no more assigned seats, interesting elective classes, and getting to know second-years and PMBAs. Worst parts... no one to remind me what classroom i'm suppose to be in ;) and not having class with some of my favorite people! I can only hope my second semester will be as awesome as the first - until next time...
