Happy Holidays!

From insanity to "what the heck do I do now?" - kind of. When you're me, the holidays are hectic because of my insanely large family (not to mention the need to be in several places at once because of divorces). But, that's all come and gone for now, and now it's back to the books for me.

Just that, "the books" are different now. Hopefully I'll get through some of the investing books I have wanted to read for pleasure. You see, I have accumulated many investing books however, I have read, well, less than the number that are on my shelf. And, this time of year the markets are not very interesting. (yes, I started a sentence with "and" -> so what?)

So I liesurely work on looking for summer internships, spending time with the girlfriend and the newly adopted cat, and cooking. It's quite nice. I'm not traveling anywhere glamourous this year (last year I spent 8 days in Florida for the New Year (and Florida's glamourous status can certainly be debated)). The lack of funding has caused me to curb traveling for a while. Meanwhile, 10 of the MBA students will be carted around the country of Malawi (Africa) for 2 weeks by some high-status person. I think it would have been a neat trip - one of a kind - but alas, with what cash would I have gone? I'm not asking for sympathy, though. This sure beats working. Well, kind of. Working in the markets isn't really work to me.

So anyways, happy holidays, and travel safely wherever that may be!
