07:46 pm - A plea
Does anyone in Chicagoland have a suitcase I can borrow?
Send me an e-mail if you do. Please. I'll give you a hug.

09:01 pm - I want to be a Hilton
Title: I want to be a Hilton (NBC)
Premise:
Get a bunch of white trash to compete for a taste of the high life with Paris Hilton's mother.
Result:
Brillance
At the end of the show Cathy Hilton prepares a dinner party and makes a guest list. The eliminated person is told that "they are not on the list" and asked to leave. I love it.

I'm back from Paris.
Work is good, the apartment is good, Chicago is good.
More to come.

06:20 pm - At the airport
I think that qualified as the shorest spring break ever.
Now I am at JFK about an hour away from broading what I hope is a very nice Boeing 777 to whisk me away to Paris. Last week was uneventful; I got to see a lot of old people, Danielle and my family.
Wow this is post is really boring. I'll send out a facebook msg with my contact info in Paris once I arrive.

01:43 am - Summer is set
So I have summer plans!
Equity Analyst Intern at Morningstar here in Chicago. I hope that Chicago will be more fun this summer than it was last; I have a feeling that it will be.
I also just realized that I will not spend a weekend in the same city for the next month
My Various Travel Plans
| Mar 4-6 | Stanford for debate |
| Mar 11-13 | Chicago for reading period |
| Mar 18-20 | Cleveland for my Grandma's 90th |
| Mar 25-28 | Paris for the quarter |
I dare say that is pretty cool.
But this also means that if you are a 4th year we need to see each other sometime in the next few weeks. So IM or email me or something and we will work something out.

07:29 pm - Classes have begun...
Break was fun.; well maybe not fun but at least relaxing.
I am however looking forward to this quarter. For the first time in awhile I am actually excited about the classes that I am taking.
First up: Financial Accounting. The GSB is an entire different world. Everyone wears a tie, 24 hours a day, no matter what. The classrooms have huge comfy chairs and bug desks that actually have enough room for a notebook. All the lights, projectors, screens etc. are controlled by a futuristic touch screen in the front of the class. And also the class will be inordinately useful for me getting a job in the not so distant future.
Inner City Economic Development will be a nice contrast to the Urban Econ class I took last year. In a nutshell Urban Econ=gentrification is good in Inner City Econ Development=gentrification is bad. The class is a little big for my tastes, and it is at 9am but the readings look great and the prof. is a good guy.
Colonization Servitude and Slavery: The Early American Experience. This is an econ class. I am taking an econ class about slavery. The professor has a reputation for making people cry; and I don’t think he is going to disappoint. Today in class he asked a girl a question and she responded “I don’t know” and he says to her, in all seriousness, “Do you not know, or do you not care”. Amazing. I just hope I don’t get on his bad side.
Web Programming is definitely my “fourth class”. The professor wants us to teach us not just the languages but also the philosophy behind computing. That might actually be interesting as long as he does not get too preachy. Also my final project can be making a website about rollercoasters

Ahh...just what I needed. Another distraction from my paper.
I am just going to cite the results for now, a detailed analysis will follow after finals. I also need to find/fill out my steel coaster ballot....
EDIT: I am going to put this as a LJcut since I'm the only one who cares

04:02 am - I heart USITE
Yes so here I am at 4am at USITE and instead of going home I am posting to my LJ.
I am almost done with one of my metrics problem sets and I have full faith that both will be done by 7pm tonight. Then I am going to write a geography paper like there is no tomorrow.
Also; twice today people who I think know me pretty well could not recognize me. It was very weird. Do I all of a sudden look so different? Maybe it was the coat. It is very blue. Katie liked it.

01:14 pm - I have no life
You Are the Reformer |
1
You're a responsible person - with a clear sense of right and wrong.
High standards are important to you, and you do everything to meet them.
You are your own worst critic, feeling ashamed if you're not perfect.
You have the highest integrity, and people expect you to be fair.

09:08 pm - Brilliance
I keep getting great ideas.
I am going to start writing a weekly column about rollercoasters. Topics covered will include construction updates on new for 05 rides, ride reviews pictorials etc, etc.
Now here is the wrinkle; who gets the privilege of printing this? The Maroon probably would not touch it since it does not really have anything to do with the university.I have a loose agreement to have it printed in a non-partisan political journal, but I am afraid that will fall through.
So this leaves me with the internet. Lame. Still lets see if I do this.

01:41 pm - Me not working
You are the green line. You dwell in the ghetto,
and damn, you're proud of it. The streets of
your kingdom may not be paved with gold, but at
least you have a place where you know you rule.
Just don't go cruising too late at night
without a shotgun.
Which Chicago 'El' line are you?

12:27 am - I think it finally died
I think the time has come to put my computer to rest.
I could probally spend a couple hundred and get it working, but is it really worth it? It is just going to break again in a few months.
So I think I am going to order my beautiful new iBook 12.1" 1.2ghz G4 tomorrow and hope that it comes in short order. (I have to order it since I am getting the bug hard drive).
So now I am on the A-level trying to do "work" but really I'm just sitting here. So is my life.

07:59 pm - Orly's 4EVR
First off go to http://www.ifilm.com/viralvideo and watch “Triumph: Poop Valhalla”. I guarantee that you will not regret it.
The novice tournament went well, not that I had anything to do with it, but it went well. Even though some of the rounds made NO sense whatsoever, it was fun none the less.
Party at Grace’s was a gt [good time] and I made some new friends and had some corn bread.
This weekend also left me conflicted about many, many things. I need to work this shit out.

03:50 pm - Democracy (in action this time)
I have now completed said Absentee Ballot.
It felt so good to cast that vote in Ohio for John Kerry and John Edwards. I must admit I had a small adrenaline rush when I punched that little cardboard chad out (don’t worry I made sure it was not hanging, pregnant or anything like that).
I also really enjoyed voting against the ghastly Ohio constitutional amendment that not only defines marriage between one man and one women, it goes on to say that the state can "not create or recognize a legal status for relationship of unmarried individuals". Even the very republican governor, who just signed a state law that "defends" marriage, says that this line is so vague that there would be as many interpretations as there are judges in the state. Lets just hope the voters are not so stupid as to pass this.
