Grad School ap 1 of 4!
Here’s hoping Harvard loves me!
I can write no more.
In the last week, I have written at least 30 pgs. A lot of that in Spanish. No more words.
Aps are almost done. One more final.
Tell the world I’m coming home…

One of my coworkers and I went to the Burberry/Elle party last night. The people were beautiful and the drinks were delicious. Come the end of the evening, it was POURING outside. Anyone who has ever spent a rainy evening in Manhattan knows it’s easier to sneak...

You want me.

You are haphazard...

Moneyball: A Quick Review
I FINALLY SAW MONEYBALL. Even though Jonah Hill will now think he is a movie star, I will say this…
Moneyball may be one of the better movies this year. It has wry sense of humor, fantastic acting on all levels (especially from Brad Pitt and Philip Seymour-Hoffman), beautiful action sequences all wrapped up in the beauty that is a good sports movie.
Things I loved:
