Mexican Martini

A pretty interesting drink, available in some places close to the border (like Austin and San Diego). Kind of like tequila and orange juice :)

I was in San Diego earlier this week, where I stayed in the downtown area next to the Gaslamp Quarter. It was quite an interesting place - a little like Sixth Street in Austin, but with better weather :)


Overall San Diego is a pretty nice place - close to the Pacific, which makes the weather cool, close to the border (I've never been to Mexico before, though), and a nice, laidback feeling. I can't believe I've only been here once before this. Maybe next time I go to San Diego I'll check out Lahoya Beach, which is supposedly one of the main attractions of San Diego. This time round I didn't really have time for that though. I did get my caricature drawn by a very talented gentleman hired by one of the exhibitors at the conference, though :) Check out his website at www.dougshannon.com



Now all I have to do is find a place that makes a decent Mexican Martini here in the bay area ;)

Decisions, decisions, decisions

So much to do, so little time... between a 60-hour per week job and business school, my life is really falling apart. I think it might be time to make some adjustments. I can either:

(1) Continue taking 2 classes per quarter in B-school, while maintaining my 60 hour per week workload, and graduate in another 2 yrs
(2) Reduce my workload to 1 class per quarter, maintain same workload, graduate in 4 more yrs
(3) Continue taking 2 classes per quarter, but reduce my workload to accomodate my studies
(4) Quit my job and go for a 1-yr MBA

Obviously choice #1 would be the best choice, but unfortunately I might not survive another 2 yrs if I do that... I'm leaning towards choice #2. Choice #3 is not an option in my workplace (you know, you snooze, you lose).

We'll see.

Edit: Hah, that was just a rant. Well, the final exam's over now (yes!!), and so is my rant. I'm sticking to my original plan... it'll be fun to see how long I last ;)
