Grateful. Thankful. Blessed.

This week marked the official end of classes! yay!  We all look a little ragged at this point and I am definitely feeling the end-of-term blues.  To fight this, a nice group of ladies gathered for dinner on Tuesday. On Wednesday, there was a talent show in Judge. We have some very talented people in our class - lovely voices all around. Emily and I showed up to Judge accidentally matching in all-black with leather. We died of laughter and had a few classmates ask if it was a planned occurrence for the talent show! That night, the space crew went to London for a space industry night - I even ran into some SGAC friends, which was so lovely! Thursday was the last official day of class and also Thanksgiving! I'm not going to say Stream 2 is the best, but it's not not true... Taylor and Ian planned a beautiful Thanksgiving meal for the Americans et al at their neighborhood pub. This was my first Thanksgiving spent away from family. Turkey day is a big one for the Dubberts. I realize

Elective Season

After a beautiful weekend in the Jurassic Coast, Monday started off quite foggy. The clouds just stayed around all-day, I definitely prefer the sunny days! 'Twas a long Monday - we had lectures until 1900, but the Powderpuff Girls got some tea and hot cocoa to end the day! On Tuesday, my hype woman, Sukriti, insisted on a photo-op in the biz school because you have to find joy during the days that have six hours of lectures.

To be determined if I get the class I want, so keep your fingers crossed! On Thursday the Judge Business School Christmas tree was in place and shining bright! After classes, I went to the Queens' gym and then to dinner at the dining hall.  While sitting alone I had a flashback to my freshman year of undergrad. I absolutely ha

BYE Week

In the nick of time, we got a week off of classes. Instead, this week was filled with workshops, team projects, and career work. I made a valiant effort to get ahead on two of the four final essays I have to write. I did not get as much done as I hoped, but my brain and body needed a break.  On Monday we had an Old Hall Soiree at Queens' filled with bubbles and charcuterie. Naturally, we ended the night at MASH, as any good MBA does during their BYE week. The night at MASH left me feeling like this statue the next day... Emily and I decided to play tourist in our new city halfway through the week. We visited Trinity College first. What an incredible place...they don't just let anyone visit their grounds. We even finagled our way into the Wren Library - stunning. So fun visiting these places with an architect and hearing her thoughts on these incredible buildings! Next on the tour was St. John's College...Emily and I both had a moment here. The first part we visited was the
