The Old Guy

Yea, I never thought it would come to this. I am officially the old guy. And I realized this tonight during a meeting with some extremely smart and talented undergrads.

So, most of you know I'm on the Investment Fund. Well, there's an undergrad version of this deal called FAP. We mentor the FAPs. So tonight we met a few of them. I'm impressed. They're all very cool, easy to get along with, and fun to be around. I was drinking beer because Chris drinks beer. But some of them couldn't, and then it hit me - I'm the old MBA student, the person who, when I was an undergrad, I thought was older and way lame.

Somehow, I'm comfortable with this. I also realized how out of the social scene I am. I can't remember the last time I stayed out all night (till the sun started rising) partying. A couple people were doing a city-wide IHOP tour (literally going to 9 of the 10 Austin-area IHOP restaurants in what will probably end up in an overcrowded hot tub party at 5am - the only way I know how to do it), and I kick myself for not thinking about something like that when I was underage.

Anyhow, I'm definitely looking forward to working with them. I'm privileged to have this opportunity.

However, I'm not so old that I don't have the facebook. So maybe I can be cool. Hah.

Internship update: I have an offer from an investment management firm based in Kansas City. My final round with an investment management firm based in Houston is on Friday. This is going to be a tough decision to make if I get this second offer (my third offer is a corporate finance position with a Las Vegas-based gaming company).
