Morning No time to exercise on Monday mornings. Class starts pretty early for me:) at 8 AM. Usually, I try to have a piece of fruit but I am often running out the door forgetting since I cycle to school everyday.

Cycling to school.

Class class class. Today we were learning about the difference between observational case studies and randomized control trials. Stuff I already knew about but in much more depth. This is a great analytical class.

Global trip leadership - it is like a group therapy session. Usually we go through some role plays and talk about how we would handle particular "crises" on a trip. Mostly, we learn how to master influence from the guru of organizational behavior David Bradford.

Midday By this time I am starving. I cycle home to get a sandwich and think about the rest of the day.

Afternoon Usually this block is spent doing odds and ends or procrastinating about reading assignments.

I am taking a conversational french class, for fun. My girlfriend is French so I figured I would try it out.

Morning Very early start on this day.

Cycling to school.

Every Wednesday I work at the hospital in the same job that I had over the summer.

Afternoon Pre-trip meeting with the Cambodia Thailand team. We talked about group norms which was a terrific conversation.

Evening Thaibodia trip leaders aw yeahhhh!

Dinner.

Morning Another early morning! Can you believe it?

Cycling to school.

This time I had a conference call with my classmate and an up and coming entrepreneur. Our formation of new ventures class has an assignment to interview a start-up founder to get some insights.

After conference call James and I headed to our entrepreneurship class.

Class was fairly tame but the overall discussion was pretty good. We discussed the challenge of starting a company with so much uncertainty. Tips and tricks, and a little bit of luck.

Afternoon Meeting with the Cambodia/Thailand leadership team or "How you plan a great trip."

Morning My girlfriend was in town. We spent the morning preparing a meal for a brunch with friends.

Brunch with our friends Ben and Claire; we had quiche and butternut squash soup.

Relaxation Cali style.

Shadows of California.

Evening Halloween Party. We took a limo into SF with a big group of people and rocked it out all night.
