AND Breathe....

So, I never claimed I was great at maintaining a hobby for any long period of time..... To make up for my absence, here is the rapid fire version of my last six months:

June: Cousin’s wedding, Move to a New Apartment, Cory’s Bridal Shower, Still in Iowa
July: New Bootcampers, Party Boat, Visited Nick in Dayton, Still in Iowa
August: Cory’s Bachelorette Party, Nicole’s Wedding, Ann Arbor trip, Recruiting starts up, Still in Iowa
September: Cory’s Wedding, Lake House, Stephanie’s Wedding, New Project in Jersey City
October: Recruiting madness, On site Interviews, Austin City Limits, Daenerys for Halloween, Pretty much no sleep
November: Reunion with Katherine in Boston, Thanksgiving and vacation in Michigan, End of recruiting

::EXHALE::

Over the past few months I’ve been feeling like I’ve hit nearly my college schedule again: the ~5-6 hours of sleep/night, insane ups and downs, but also the huge adrenaline rush of getting through it all.  This fall, I was very involved in the college recruiting process for my role.   And, while it certainly cut into my sleep schedule, it was probably one of my more rewarding career experiences to date.  Recruiting was a great opportunity for me to interact with some members of higher management, meet some really awesome students, reflect upon my own experiences as a consultant, and really put my organizational skills to the test.  In the end, I think the candidates we’ve secured for next July was definitely worth the sleepless nights.

So, now that recruiting is done, I’ve decided to use my flight time (previously dedicated to just trying to keep my head about water) to get a jump start on a New Year’s resolution and restart this blog -  hopefully elaborate on some of the above rapid faire as well.  Maybe I’ll get lucky and can win some loyal followers back (because you likely all know me well enough to know I’m definitely watching my traffic/data) ;)
