I've seen a total of 4 movies in the past 4 months (the number 4 is popping up quite a bit), three in the past week and one over Thanksgiving. Oh, the deprivation! Here's a sample of what's on my list:

the things I've learned...
After 4 months of being in an MBA program, I've learned a few things about myself:
- I can function on less than 5 hours of sleep for weeks at a time...at a level that Forrest Gump could relate to, but functioning nonetheless.
- TAing 4 classes, taking 7, and recruiting in one quarter isn't very sustainable...read: muti-tasking is not in my destiny.
- MBAs are really smart. And entitled. And savvy (not the pirate-kind...well, only the select few)...the roads are paved with dandelions on my swift trek back to mediocrity.
- Microsoft Outlook can be addictive...despite its penchant for crashing at inopportune moments. I've become one of those email junkies...someone get me a micro$oft patch.

why I switched careers a year ago...
I didn't want to be publishing articles like this for the rest of my life (courtesy of The Review of Financial Studies):
- Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Latent Affine Processes
- Walrasian Tatonnement Auctions on the Tokyo Grain Exchange
- An Equilibrium Model of Rare-Event Premia and its Implication for Option Smirks
- An Isomorphism between Asset Pricing Models with and without Linear Habit Formation
