As I enter into my next semester at Sloan, I have been selected to be an official student blogger for MIT Sloan! Check out the top link on the right column to check out my page. Right now there is nothing there, but check in in the upcoming months to see what hundreds of prospective students are reading to see what real life is like at Sloan!

Inauguration Fun

Here is a fun pic I made online at Obamicon.com as a play on the famous obama poster showing Obama and the word "progress." It gets me in the inauguration mood!

IN-N- OUT burger!

I made it safely to California! Our hotel is in Palo Alto right near Stanford University. I am also proud to say that it only took me one hour in this state to have gone to IN-N-OUT burger already! Great fries and a burger "animal style"!

Extra pics

Am done with 2/3 finals so I have found some time to post a few extra pics.


Here's another one of me and my fall ball date.


Here's me and my salsa partner, Alex.


Here is Daniel making a German mulled wine for a holiday party. He soaked the cone of sugar with rum and lit it on fire.

Brass Rat

Meet the Brass Rat, MIT's school ring. This white gold hunk o' junk illustrates life at MIT with a picture of a Beaver (Nature's engineer) surrounded by empty coffee cups and crashing stock market billboards. Apparently, it's the third most recognized ring in the world so if you see someone with it you can run away because it will cause some damage in a fight, or you can mug them because they are an easy MIT nerdy target. Take your pick...

Latin "Si" Function

So my friend Alex and I volunteered to be Salsa dancers in our latin consumption function for the whole class. Here are some during and after pictures with the people in our number!

Fall Ball

Long time, no blog!
Here are some pics from the Sloan annual Fall Ball. It was in the Copley hotel in downtown Boston and was attended by both classes.


$70 buys you dinner, open bar, and dancing. It felt like prom all over again!


Here is me with some of the ladies of our class with some wives and significant others.


Me and some classmates. I have no idea what we are doing, but Chris looks like he's in a p diddy video.


Here is my "sham" date Damien playing the part of drunkard really well. It's quite priceless actually.

Korean c-function, cont.

Here are some of my classmates performing tai kwan do for us. The guy
closest to me is Jun Mo in my core team! We were so proud of him!

Korean Consumption Function

Tonight was the Korean C-function where we all of Sloan comes together
to eat ethnic food and watch cultural events. Here are some of our
classmates performing the traditional fan dance.

Thanksgiving dinner

Sloan hosted a huge thanksgiving dinner for the first year students.
It included turkey with all the fixin's including pecan and pumpkin
pie in the end. The only thing missing was the traditional baked ziti :)

Surviving Midterms and Beyond

Awesome 80's party followed by 80's dancing...


Celebrating Manny's birthday with more dancing!

Iceland, cont.

Here are more pictures from Iceland and beyond:


Can you tell I am half of the "T" on the left side?


I'm like that kid in "A Christmas Story"


This is the Blue Lagoon where we swam in hot geothermic waters while it was freezing cold outside.


See, Iceland is not all ice!


Me and my roommate on our snow mobile.

Back in NYC!

Am back in ny for a little bit and of makes me sad that I ever left.
However, 4 old friends came out last night to welcome me back and it
ended with rice pudding from Rice to Riches, a rice pudding bar!

Kim in Iceland!

Hey everyone!

For those of you who don't know, I am currently in Iceland for the Columbus Day weekend with 31 other Sloanies. We are having the time of our life and here is a pic as a preview of coming attractions! This is me and my friend Alex as we got back from snow mobiling on a glacier. It was awesome and I look like Speed Racer!

Here are some pics I owe you from the past few weeks:


We went to Chris' east coast wedding reception. I went in a sari and it was awesome. Here is my teammate Rimi on the left who lent me the sari and helped me put it on.


Manny and I hosted a dinner party where he made one awesome pot roast. This time I could take pics because it wouldn't be so creepy. We love entertaining!


Our friend Joe brought the ingredients for his famous bananas foster. He nearly put in half that handle of rum!


Manny serves himself some rice.


Afterwards, we forced our guests into slave labor. We didn't even give them sponges to clean so they had to use their bare hands. Just kidding! People were happy to help out with the cleaning duty in return for the yummy food.

And like the good MIT nerds we are, we break out our laptops and do 2
hours of accounting and econ homework. Then we drove to ptown for
dinner and dancing. More pics to come once my friend sends them to me!

Upon arrival, we promptly make some mac n cheese. Way to use the duck
apron!

Cape cod!

It's our friend Jesse's 29th bday and what better to take him than
Ptown?! We rented a car and picked up and went.

Debates!

I am sitting in a private media room watching the debates with
classmates. Thank goodness for hdtv! It's like mst3k of politics.

G.I. Joes and Barbie Hoes

So this weekend I went to a themed party with Sloanies. And because there was no way I was going to dress up like Barbie, I went as a "G.I. Ho" instead.


We sufficiently freaked out the whole train on the subway with a German in drag and sloanies in army gear carrying two bricks of cheap beer. People literally got up and moved to the other side of the train!


Here are the happy little soldiers saluting in front of the flag at the Charles MGH T-stop. USA! USA!


I bought this shirt, dog tags and hat half an hour before the party from an army surplus store. I really like this shirt in particular because the camo is pixilated.... I would also like to point out that the dog tags of my friend Jesse on the right say "Semper Bi-curious" and "Army of Juan." We laughed about this all night.


Our friend Daniel dressed in Drag as a Barbie, and I look like I walked right off the set of "Boys Don't Cry." Talk about gender confused! The best was his thick German accent responding to cat calls on the street. The pair of us couldn't hail a cab to save our lives as our big group went back to Cambridge. It was a very "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" moment here.


Towards the end of the night when I've had one too many Coke Zeros!
