Logical Eccentricity

I know, I’ve been terrible at updating this blog on a regular basis; I really should work on it going forward. So, what have I been up to in the last month or so? I’ve still been busy at work, same project as before had another part to it that we needed to get done. No late nights, but just a lot of work as a result. I’m also continuing my studying for the CFA test on December 6th… I hope I do well on it; since it pretty much covers the four years at Stern. I’m really not sure why I’m taking the test, it doesn’t matter for my current job, and won’t matter for a job going forward, probably. I’m doing it for the sake of doing it.

I’ve also started work on application essays for my MBA. I have to write four essays and I’ve got a draft done for one of them, and basic outlines for two more. The final essay shouldn’t be too difficult either, so I think I’m on track for the application process. I’ve also been seeing a lot more places in Hoboken; I’ve seen a total of 15 places over the past several weekends and I really liked four of them. I think when I’m going to be ready to make offers (January) there should be plenty of choices available to me.

Finally, Stern recently sent out a little survey asking for feedback from recent alumni, along with a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Stern Alumni Ball. Since I know Stern had terrible response rates, most email surveys have low rates, I decided to fill it out and enter the raffle drawing. And I ended up winning the tickets. So, I’ve got a pair of tickets to the Stern Alumni Ball on December 6th. It’s supposed to a very classy event, and this year it is at the Rose Center at the Natural History Museum, so it should be a fun time. I should put some pictures up from the party at some point, so look for a link or something.

That’s all for now, more when I get more time to write.

It’s been a week since my last update so I thought I would put up another post. The past week has been fun/distracting at the same time. Clearly, I can’t talk about everything in a public domain such as this. But, I think I can say that my brain has been working overtime over thinking everything. Hopefully, my brain learns to shut down and accept the facts as they are. Beyond that, I’ve made some progress with my mathur.in domain name; I’m putting up a photo album at photos.mathur.in. Instead of using some other online gallery, I’m creating my own. Not only does it give me more control over how the pictures are displayed, I have more control over access to the pictures. Lastly, I’ve completed one of the epic novels, and I’ve moved onto reading the Mahabharata. I think I should be able to finish this soon as well, and move onto more fiction-based novels.

I know I’ve been slow with updates recently, but I’ve been swamped with work during the weekdays, and weekends; well weekends are weekends and I don’t want to be in front of a computer on a weekend. Anyway, work has been going well, finished up a fairly interesting project, and got a couple of things in the pipeline. With my company, I’m setting up the bank account for it; so the next set is going to be trying to get a trade line/credit card without a pull on my personal credit. I think that should be possible if I get a Staples Credit Card.

I feel like I need to devote a seperate post to the past weekend. Hopefully should get time today to type that up as well.
