Winter is coming :(

How is life going for everyone? Pretty good for myself, can’t complain at all. We are a few days away from October and it is already getting cold :(. The past weeks since I posted have been quite interesting: Work is going great—I am at Rolls-Royce and the projects that I work on deal with all sorts of business activities including finance, process improvement, product quality, etc. In addition, I have been training on Green Belt methodology and just last week I was told that one of the projects that I’ll direct will be a GB one, which means that when I finish it I will be Green Belt certified, how cool is that!
This past weekend some friends and I went to a Middle Eastern festival, it was a good time. They had good food and great music—it is so easy to dance that type of music ?. What about campus life?! I’ve seen all sorts of events going on—the best one though was the opportunity to throw pies to the Deans. I think you paid a dollar or so to throw an entire pie to them. Quite a way to introduce yourself to the dean, wouldn’t you say so? And what about the progress of the new campus center? They seem to be on a rush to finish it, it’s going up pretty fast and I think it the exterior is supposed to be completed by December (hopefully traffic will get better over there :).
Do you guys know what’s the best way to get Colts tickets for this season? I’ve tried to get some but they are all sold out—I think before I call myself a true Hoosier I need to go and support our team. If you know how to get them and if you see me on the hall let me know!
Ok amigos—be safe, have fun and I’ll catch up in a few weeks.

It's been a while

I really enjoy this time of the year. School is in full swing, soccer is keeping me busy, football season has started, and the weather is completely unpredictable.
I do not have any good pictures at this time, but I will start taking my camera out more to campus and getting some fun pictures of student life. Speaking of student life the new campus center is coming along fast and it is starting to take shape. I am excited to be staying for grad school now because I will actually get to enjoy the new building when it is finished next year.

The fun never stops!

These last few weeks have been going too fast! This semester kicked off a few weeks ago, I can not believe we are already in the third week of classes!—There has been a lot of events going on on-campus and across the city. Over the weekend, I decided to “postpone” working on my homework and have some fun instead. Friday, I went to the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis; it was pretty amazing! The young contestants (probably younger than most of us, some are 16!) play like pros and you feel in Carnegie Hall. On Saturday I went to the Greek Festival-- they had excellent food and the entertainment was good as well. They had children dressed and dancing in typical Greek costumes, which was pretty interesting to see. After familiarizing myself with the Greek culture, I went to the Mass Ave. to get a little taste of it. Needless to say that was the best part of my day! They had all sorts of venues – you literally could taste Mass Avenue—they had all sorts of food and drinks, live music, and best of all there were people all over the place. You really don’t have to leave Indy to experience all this stuff, we have it right here.
Besides having a lot of fun and skipping homework, I’ve also been somewhat busy preparing for Democracy Plaza’s kick off season—there will be all sorts of speakers and next week (September 18-20th) We’ll celebrate the U.S. Constitution by hosting several constitution discussions across these dates in the Plaza (which is underneath the Kelley School building). We’ll be there from 12:15 to 1:00 p.m. and there will be FREE pizza for all of those who attend. Well, I better get going because I REALLY need to do homework after all this procrastination. I’ll be in touch soon, until then be safe and have fun!
