san fransico

So some of you may have heard. but i took an off island trip.

It was my first "business trip"

i've never felt so grown up in my life.

i took a cab.

stayed in a hotel.

had a couple of interviews with some partners.

had some meals with some partners.

the trip was for second round interviews with KPMG one of the Big four

accounting firms. they have never recurited at our school before.

and i was one of the two lucky 1st round interviewies to make it

to the second round interviews in San Jose.

Silicon valley. where business gets done. It's pretty much the technology hub of the world

right down the street from KPMG's office was GOOGLE,NASA,APPLE'S R&D headquartes

needless to say. it opened my eyes to the fact that i will be graduating in december.

KPMG was a great firm. I'll hear back from them by friday.

I'm nervous and i really don't know what to expect.

there were 25 openings 50 applicants. and alot of Berkley students.

BERKLEY. scary.

but anywhooo the trip was also fun. I got some time to head up with some other recurtees to

san franscico and see the city. it was a jolly good time.

(the golden gate bridge is a good thing.)
(tis the season for snowglobe and the bay area.)
(NBD. just some blinging rims.)

(it's the first Ghirardelli)

(hot fudge brownie sunday. it's my favorite)

Gharadelli was decorated in christmas lights, tinsle, and all your christmas trimmings

lets just say it made me excited for the season. o and this is jeff. he was one of the

other KPMG recurits staying an extra night. He is the one who gave me and adam a ride up to

San Fransico to explore the city.

(all i wanted was a picture of his steeze mustache. what i got was a picture of him holding me.WEIRD)

(BBQ chicken pizza. it's my favorite.)

(i love sanfransicos smushhed up houses.)

(story time)

So when i was in 4th grad our teacher had us perform a circus.

it was cheesy.lame. and TOTALLY cool. everyone wanted my teacher so they could be

in the 4th grade circus. well one of the acts involved these little puppets.

which are surprisingly hard to find.

well when i was about 12 my family went up and visited san franscisco.

there was a puppet shop on pier 39. i begged and pleaded.

but instead i got an ESCAPED from ALCATRAZ shirt.
so i was amazed when the same puppet shop still sold these little suckers.
hence the picture and my excitment.

p.s. i've started to listen to christmas music.
