Mr. Adams, I am not sure what the pace of my life will be like post-MBA, but I feel like the MBA is like boot camp for the future leaders of corporate America, so I don’t know what the pace will be like for me 4-5 years down the road, but hopefully not like this every day! Once in a while is fine, but nearly seven days a week as it nearly is now probably will leave me, as you say, withered and useless in five years’ time.
Volver was pretty good, my first Almodovar film, my only problem was keeping all the characters straight and trying to figure out some of the backstory while watching in Spanish with Spanish subtitles. I would definitely watch more of his movies though.

Did I tell you that working at Citi has become a lot more tolerable? They gave me a laptop, so I can now work 24/7 from the comfort of my home. Talk about work/life balance.
