august + reflections

Want: new tote bag, Raybans, running shoes, novels, new textbooks, haircut; miss: running in the metroparks, vanilla latte at Caribou, rain biking, baking cookies, pleasure reading, friends, extended conversations, lazy summer days; learned: what an LBO stands for, M&A model, LBO model, how to do a WACC calculation, how to read an income and cashflow statement, realized why a balance sheet is called a balance sheet, how to format excel, how to use a bloomberg terminal, how to call factset for help, how to not take markups personally, how to actively manage my lifestyle/sanity, how to stay focused on the important things; loved: trying to wakeboard, making spinach omelettes, july 4th fireworks, attending my first wedding, Carolina Theater, the scrap exchange, first trip to ikea, drinks with the office + mark, hiding up kennesaw, meeting new friends in new york, moma, getting lost in Harlem, swings in little italy
