Busy-ness

Samir and Anshu came to visit last weekend, with Samir's cousin and her
husband from Indianapolis. They took us on the Architecture boat-tour
of Chicago -- which was really awesome of them. The tour was really
great. Chicago is such a pretty city! (And I never knew it!) We went
through the locks (which was interesting) and at the end of the tour,
we went out for a spin on the lake at 40 miles/hr. That was definitely
the highlight of the trip :)

CORE has started. This is the pre-class session for the first-year MBA
students. It also involved a 3-day retreat in Wisconsin, where we got
to schmooze to the max with the other 550 first-years. There were the
usual team-building and ice-breaking activities, a ropes-course, a
karaoke night et al. I found it a little difficult to
schmooze-on-demand, but had a really great time.
