Eighty thousand. That's the number of shades of red, yellow, and orange the trees are. Seventy one million. That's how relieved I am to be done with finals. I turned in CSIB 502 about half an hour ago, then promptly switched over to career mode and made a phone call and followed up with an email. Now there's the requisite "Beer! Where have you been all my life?" single drink happy hour at prototypical MBA hangout Dominick's.
An email just came in with the first thumbnail exterior rendering of the forthcoming new Ross campus. Two hundred and seventy thousand square feet, six stories, terra cotta, sandstone and glass. Included are a glass-enclosed 'winter quad' and a 500 seat auditorium. Not included are the Ross Class of 2007 students, who bear the brunt of construction (and thus instruction) inconvenience. That's cool, though. We get bagels every Monday.
