But now?  Feeling a bit melancholy, actually.  Not sure why… Is that it?  All this anticipation and preparation and it’s over within a week?  Maybe I’m just tired. 

Big decision coming up.  I think I’ve decided on consulting (at least for the summer).  That leaves me with two very strong options.  At first glance, I’m torn.  I think I have a split personality, and both firms represent one side!  Maybe I’ll learn more over the “sell weekends” where both firms flip-the-tables and try to wine-and-dine you.  Will keep you posted…

Sooooo, I thought I’d put up a few photos from the weekend prior.  It was probably the last summer weekend of the year.  The last day you could wear shorts and not look crazy:

The Last Day of a Sunny Charles

There was a big festival on Sunday in Harvard Square… Oktoberfest.  Lots of food vendors, a parade, and tons of people.  So many people that it wasn’t actually much fun.  I guess this is the problem with crowded Northeastern streets… they just weren’t made to hold a capacity of a million people going to one festival:

So, after milling around for a while with the crowds, we escaped to Boston Commons.  This is a park in downtown Boston (similar to Central Park in NYC, but not nearly as big).  A few street performers, a guy playing the bagpipes, and a lovely lunch of Whole Foods hot buffet w/ iPhone games:

All-in-all, a lovely relaxing sunny weekend!  If Boston were like this every weekend, it might actually be a decent place to live.
