As Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.” The adventure I am about to embark actually began about 28 months ago when I decided to pursue a Master’s in Business Administration. The program I chose was the Tech MBA Online through Michigan Technological University located in Houghton, MI. I chose to do this program for three main reasons: 1) It was an accelerated program – a tough 24 months of intense study, but in 24 months it’s all over! 2) It was online – I didn’t have to drive anywhere, I could chose to study as I wanted or however best fit my schedule 3) The final global residency in India. These next few blogs will be about ... read more

So, even though i could barely sleep last night I was able to get up quite early (7 am) and get ready. I had breakfast at the Tourist Hotel where I stayed, which was included with my stay and I checked out. I went to the Train station, which was easy to get to because it was directly across the street from my hotel. I went in and bought my ticket to Amsterdam. I had about 20 minutes before it left, so i just decided to go to the platform and wait for it. I got on and pretty much slept most of the way to Amsterdam. When I got out, I went to Tourist Information to find out about somethings and when I asked the lady about Zuider Zee, she rudely pointed out that this ... read more

Monday---BLC class and then we had the internship class. We watched an episode of the Office, the English version and it was Hilarious!!! And then we had to do mini presentations where we just told everyone where we were working and what not. Nothing too exciting. Tuesday---I was at the House of Commons with Kathleen. She is so cool and in our downtime we facebooked and stuff and then we planned out a time for me to come in the fall to see here at Notre Dame! Goodness it is exciting just thinking about it! I can't wait! Wednesday---So let's just say the Gin and Tonic is not my drink of choice... Hahaha! That is what the guys from work kept buying me at the Conservative Future. That is basically the English equivalent of the College ... read more

Monday---BLC class! Not really that cool, although we talked about the structure of education, which was a little intriguing. Then, we had a mandatory field trip to the National Army Museum where we saw a fascinating presentation about what it meant to be a soldier in WWI. Then, while half of the people were at the internship class, Kat and I went to Oxford Circus to see the Sugababes perform live. We also bought their album and got it autographed. Pretty cool. We came back and then I went with Jason and Jeff to the Queen's Anne for some Fruli. It was really fun! Tuesday--- At work today, we did a lot of mail and stuff. At LUnch Kathleen and I helped Greg and a fellow MP put together brochures for their presentation on Foreign Affairs. ... read more

Today i slept in because I had nothing better to do. And then I got ready and went to the Beatles' Walk of London. I was meeting Erin there and I was glad she got there before me because then they knew I was coming and to wait for me but it was really frusterating because the circle line had significant delays. But the walk was pretty cool and it was something to do for pretty cheap price, about four pounds. We started out at Marleybone station which is where hard's day night was filmed. It was cool to go around...I'm not too big of a fan of the Beatles but they do have some good songs. Then, we walked to the courthouse where Paul and Linda got married as well as Ringo and one of ... read more
