First week at MIT Sloan has been fun. Rebecca and I went hiking with my new classmates at Mt. Moosliauke, and I've been atending "pre-term" review classes for my first semester courses. Those courses will be:

• Data, Models, and Decisions
• Finanial Accounting
• Economic Analysis for Business Decisions
• Special Seminar in Communication: Leadership and Personal Effectiveness Coaching
• Communication for Managers
• Introduction to Technical Entrepreneurship

It's been fun learning about a new campus with all the associated college lore. One of the things MIT is best known for is its longstanding prolific history of pranks, called "hacks". You must check this out: http://hacks.mit.edu/ For those who know my history at Illinois, you now understand that I have my first dangerous distraction at school. Also, it's worth noting that on Monday, Aug 13 I passed my check ride and am now a pilot! Let's go fly.
