    Well, here'sthe big news
    after all this stupid summer internship application process, i finally heard back from my first choice.

    Guess who's gonna be an Intern for UBS this summer!?!?!?!?


    YES! sweet victory!
    I work at UBS right now, but dont get paid. This job however, is pretty paid.
    $17.50 an hour? i can do that! plus overtime? sure!

    I'm going to be working on their Taxable Fixed Income Trading floor right across the river in NJ- its only a five minte ferry ride and you're there. what i gathered is that i'm doing trade support, working between the traders and the Portfolio managers. its gonna be an intersting learning experience to see stuff from thsi angle. I might live at the NYU dorms during the program, to play adult and live w/ some other Investment banking interns. I'll do this only if I can't get my own room at home. I'm super excited about this. i worked really hard, and got what i was aiming for. this is a good day.

    Current Mood: accomplished

    UPDATE!!!
    UPDATE!!!

    TEAM INTENSITY CAME IN 5th PLACE FOR THE MIXED TEAM RELAY FOR THE ABITAMAN TRIATHALON!!!! NOT TOO BAD FOR A FIRST COMPETITION!

    my time on the bike was 33 min, whch wasnt too bad... next time will be better

    (2 people have touched the stophe | touch the stophe)

    well, i competed in my first event! i did the bike leg of the 1st abitaman triathalon, a 10 mile job. i was a great time! over 500 people competing. I think we might have actually placed for the mixed relay teams! We had my little frat bro's GF swimming for us (400M), she used to be a junior olympian, my friend richter running (2 mi), and me biking (10 mi). the bike part was good, but at one point i had to get off my bike and jump a curb to get on the right path, but i think i did it in under 30 min, which is what i was shootin for. there was a nasty headwind going in one direction, but it helped us really fly on the way back. what a great time!

    and now for some pics!

    in the transition area after the bike part:


    A Really bad pic of me on the bike, but what can ya do... one of the pro photographers got a shot of me, so we'll see if i can nab a copy



    TEAM INTENSITY!


    TEAM INTENSITY AGAIN!


    good times, good times
    i'll let yall know how we placed and all that once i find out

    haven't posted lyrics in a while
    this is from one of my favorite artists- Zero 7. i dont know how popular they are, but there's some really mellow loungy type music. beautifully produced. good voies too.

    Spinning Zero 7

    Was it loneliness that brought you here
    Broken and weak
    Was it tiredness that made you sleep
    Have you lost your will to speak
    Was the earth spinning round
    Were you falling through the ground
    As the world came tumbling down
    You prayed to God what have we done

    Free me from these chains I need to change my way
    Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away, far away, far away

    Was it emptiness that made you weep
    No more secrets to keep
    Was it bitterness that gave you time
    To forgive your sins
    Was the earth spinning round
    Were you falling through the ground
    As the world came tumbling down
    You prayed to God what have we done

    Free me from these chains I need to change my way
    Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away
    Free me from these thoughts long forgotten down below
    Take these angel’s words give them life to carry on, carry on, carry on
    Free me from these chains…
