An unfortunate part of our looming graduation date is securing employment. I headed back to Boston for just that one week in November. Though my days were filled with preparing, interviewing, company receptions, and running between the two events, it was good to be back. Plus I’m now in the fortunate position to be on the other side of the table and interview the companies to see which offer is the best fit. Come June 3rd (well if I get this thesis signed off on), we will need to swap the lectures, tour of the world, and themed parties for responsibility and a paycheck.
However June isn’t here yet and I still managed to have a good time despite the ten hour interviews. My LGO team took one evening off of all things recruiting and had a reunion dinner at our favorite sushi joint. Teammate Steve and his wife had a baby over the summer and this was my first time seeing the little guy.

I was fortunate to fly in Halloween day and got to participate in the MIT Halloween parties. What a grand opportunity to break out a German dirndl. My co-workers told me that only small children participate in Halloween in Switzerland and found my description of American Halloween hilarious.

I also was in town for a fabled MIT tradition - Fall Ball which is a cross between prom and a high-end wedding. Since all my stuff was in a suburban storage locker, I dressed up in a pal’s finest and danced the night away at the Fairmont Copley downtown.
