Finished

I wrote my last exam yesterday and have now completed my MBA. I'm in full relaxation mode now and will be until I start work in June. I'm off to Calgary next week and then I'm back for two weeks for Rachel and I to pack up the apartment. Then we're off to Greece for three weeks. I see planes, uhaul trailers and whitewashed buildings in my future.

Bill

On Tuesday I attended a "Power Within" seminar in Montreal. The first speakers were cheesy but it was inspirational none the less. Tony Robbins rounded out the afternoon before Bill came and gave a more sober talk. Afterwards I attended a private reception as Queen's was sponsoring the event. Here's a couple pictures of Bill (and I).

Boston Case Competition

I was in Boston this past week competing in a business case competition on Motorola. Pretty intense time. Schools from across the world competed and we had 24 hours to come up with a proposal. We made it past the first round and were part of the final four (MIT, Stanford, Kellogg and us). After the second presentation to the Motorola executives we ended up placing fourth and won $2,500, 1st got $25,000. Oh so close to the big money.

Boston was a pretty cool city but all I saw was the hotel and Boston University. Maybe I'll go down and check it out soon.

I finish my MBA Saturday at noon. I'm damn excited!
