After all, last year&#8217;s 2nd-years raved about their newfound freedom and, in many cases, early job offers.  More importantly, I was looking forward to seeing old friends, making new ones, and settling into a nice little routine.  <\/p>\n<p>So far&#8230;.so good.  The first two weeks back were a whirlwind of spending nights out with old friends and learning as many 1st-years&#8217; names as possible.  Although fun, this was not the most *sustainable* routine.  Class quickly arrived to smack my brain back into shape and make sure I quickly shook off a summer&#8217;s cobwebs.  Now roughly three weeks into the semester, a new routine is taking shape.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to academics, my responsibilities as a Graduate Assistant in Admissions and as MBA Council President have added layers to this year&#8217;s experience.  Add in social activities, intramural sports, and that little endeavor called a career search and well&#8212;-I do not have a surplus of free time.  This new routine is similar but slightly different than the old version and promises to offer new challenges and memorable stories for future enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p>One more (literally) tiny update: I am now an uncle for the second time, welcoming Kelsey Elizabeth Altrup into the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" width=\"125\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Post by Tyler Alrup, MBA Class of 2010] As much as I loved my internship and the city of San Francisco, the excitement for MBA year 2 was always in the back of my mind.
