What I am all about

While doing homework last night, I looked over at my brother's desk-calendar. For January 14th, it said:

"I am all about:

Passion.
Commitment.
Huge risks.
Excellent failures.
Work that matters.
Work that makes a difference."

This inspired me because I occasionally get in that "school-work" blues, which I often fall into immediately following a long break (a.k.a Christmas), and it reminded me what it is I am here for. Because I love it. Because I'm committed to my dreams and education. Because it matters. But most of all... I want to make a difference.

Polo Ralph Lauren: A Valuation.

I did massive research, created many spreadsheetes and wrote many pages...

Valuing a company is fun... I proposed it to the Oregon State Investment Group two Fridays ago... it was an experience.

Once the corrections are made, I will post a link to the documents on here...I think.

Talk to you later, everyone!

Washington D.C. Summer, 2007

In late August, my dad and I traveled to Washington D.C. to visit some family and see everything that amazing city has to offer. Let's just say, while we saw a lot, we didn't see a quarter of all that is there!

Here are some pictures that I loved:

More pictures to come... and I just realized you can't click these to see a larger version so I may post them all over again.
