Spring Break 2k23!!!!!! Our GCP group opted to take the first week of the 5 week period off and then work for the last 4 weeks.   Emily kindly agreed to show me her home country and on Monday we headed to Dublin! This marked the 20th country that I’ve had a chance to visit and let me tell you Ireland is all it’s cracked up to be. After landing in Dublin Em showed me her neighborhood and we grabbed some snacks before hitting the road.   Our first night ended in Cashel at the cutest little B&B. We found a nice little pub and enjoyed some pizza. The next day, the newly formed Team Rock headed to the Rock of Cashel, a very impressive castle in the town. We learned about friar energy and marveled at the architectural layout. "A note of optimism in an insecure world." After that, we hit the road again to head to Cork.   Depending on if you ask someone from Cork or not, Cork is the best part of Ireland. I do have to say it is quite beautiful. Our next stop on the trip was Blarne

This marked finals week for Lent Term. Hilarious to see how differently we all approached finals this time around in comparison to Michaelmas. We had a strategy exam and a marketing exam at the end of the week. For example, I went to a formal at Peterhouse on Monday night and didn't get home till almost 3am. That's not typical finals week  behaviour (yes, I have gone full British, I include extra 'u's in my vocabulary now).  Tuesday brought another formal, this time at Sidney Sussex with a magical twist! Had the chance to meet the cutest little owl and nerd out with some fellow MBAs! I spent the whole day at Queens' on Wednesday. I introduced Rebecca to my secret study spot and we spent a good chunk of the day finishing up exam prep. We also worked out together and went to an economics talk too #teamjunction.  Thursday brought our Strategy Exam. It was in the afternoon, and I have to tell you, I do not enjoy afternoon exams. Let me get that ish over with. Met up wit
