Hey Everyone.

So in 9 hours my first pre-term classes will start. I'm kind of excited and nervous at the same time. It's been 7 years since I walked into a classroom with a backpack, and I have no clue what to expect. Will I see old friends (from admit weekends)? Will I make friends for life? Will I hate my cohort or my study group? I guess time will tell. But I'm sure this will be the start of a wild and rewarding ride for the next two years.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling, but with 6 hours of classes, 5 days a week for the next 2 weeks, plus orientation and 1st semester craziness, my time on here will probably be very reduced. I'll probably be as active as rhyme is, so you'll still see me around. But if you have any questions for me about anything (especially Berkeley-Haas), either post in the "B-school Ambassador" thread or the "Calling all Berkeley-Haas 2009 Applicants" thread. I'll diligently check those threads while I'm in school.

PM-ing me also works, though I will apologize in advance if I don't get back to you as quickly as I normally do.

With that said, good luck to all the applicants, and I hope to meet MANY of you on campus this Fall!

Cheers!
K

Kry, I think a lot of us are in the same boat you are. Even though school doesnt start for several more weeks for us its still going to be a very busy time until KWEST. Just moving takes a huge amount of time and energy. Good luck with school

haha NC, I *am* an attention "w*ore" :P

The sad thing is, even though I've tried very hard to limit the number of posts I've made in our admit email group, I've obviously posted enough for almost everyone who met me today to tell me, "Oh, so YOU'RE the famous [name] who posts all the time!" :oops:

It was a fun day (though I passed out around when they introduced what Cartesian Coordinates were, I mean, c'mon, anyone who took the GMAT and can get into Haas should know what a Cartesian Coordinate System is!!!) and lots of socializing. Dead tired right now... going to play my PS3 now. :)
