Again, it's been a while since my last update. But honestly, who wants to hear about the boring life of a college student, especially one that is married, works alot, and has dogs that take up too much time. So to jump from the last post about three months ago, I am now half way through Winter term here at UC Davis. Classes this term are: French 3, Intermediate MacroEcon, Philosophy of Religion, and Politics and Resistance: the Creation of the Political (Anthro). Classes are progressing well, but not really anything excited to report. Surprisingly I am enjoying the Anthropology and French class the most out of all. Even though we are halfway into the term, economics is still working on pretty basic concepts. I expect it to intensify soon (and thus become more interesting).
I've noticed more SPAM comments on the site recently, I need to setup a CAPTCHA system to block them. However, that's good news, because atleast somebody out there thinks the site is worthy of SPAM! I'll take that as a win.
I still need to start studying for the GMAT.
I need to figure out what I am doing this summer. The option of working in France or London has presented itself and I need to decide what will be best.
I have been reading a book called "The Best Business Schools' Admissions Secrets". It is written by an ex-Harvard B.School admissions board member and discusses how to "brand" yourself when writing your admissions packets. It's pretty interesting and suggest you check it out.
I have been very lucky to maintain one large client while I am living up here in Davis. They have been keeping me very busy maintaining and updating their multiple web domains. It's funny because I was originally trying to run away from performing 'service' work in the web field, but now I am truly greatful to have it as an income source (and as something to distract me from the hum-drum-Davis lifestyle).

Did you catch the protests this week on campus? They looked insane on TV! Are any of the cutbacks going to affect your chances of getting into grad school? I'm having to change my plans because it's going to take me longer to graduate. I see you've still got a couple years to go.
I go to UCSD, and I wanna go to Business grad school. I think you wanting to get to Harvard is pretty ambitious, I know there's no way I would get in. I have a 3.9 GPA, and scored a 710 on my GMAT, which will get me into a lot of schools, but not Harvard. My inside sources told me the UC schools except for Berkley and UCLA just don't have as good of a rep at getting into the Harvards and Whartons of the world. East coast bias? I don't know. Right now I'm applying to UCLA, USC, and instate schools. Good luck!
