I&#8217;ve lost track of my &#34;story.&#34; And I&#8217;m really really whiny these days. I have learned a couple things that I am happy to share with other job searchers:1.

		<description><![CDATA[For a while, I have wanted to write a post about money at Stanford and more generally, at top American business schools because I don&#8217;t believe that the spending mores of GSB students are unique among business school students. Two events spurred me to stop delaying:1) 2nd quarter tuition is due tomorrow. (That&#8217;s two for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am trying to be very focused on my summer internship search, which should take me out of OCR (on-campus recruiting) for the most part. However, I am finding the job board and classmates&#8217; aspirations to be very distracting. A winery in northern California, a New York private equity fund, Apple&#8217;s online store&#8211;none of these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my last post, several readers asked why I did not liked business school during the first quarter. I will try to sum it up, but because time seems to be a great eraser of discomfort, my memories of exactly why I was so unhappy are getting fuzzier by the day. Let&#8217;s try a list:1.

The curriculum started to make more sense, content that I learned in my first quarter classes actually seemed relevant, and I realized that I made a few friends during the first quarter who I like and respect.

We had one test each day on Monday (Finance), Tuesday (Organizational Behavior) and Wednesday (Global), which is actually really manageable in comparison to my undergraduate university when classes, papers, and life are not put on hold for [...]]]></description>
