So, if you cannot tell already, I am obsessed with BC! I think this is something that makes BC a special place; EVERYONE loves to be here. This past weekend we beat Virginia Tech on prime time television. The student section was going crazy the whole game. It was great revenge to last year's ACC Championship game.

Besides the excitement of football, it is midterms time. You will find a lot of students studying diligently all over campus. I have three tests next week and will spend a good amount of time studying for them. It is manageable though, and there are many opportunities to get help outside the classroom, whether it is during your professors office hours or in the Connors Family Learning Center, where you can get tutoring in any subject.

It's a very interesting time to be a student in the Carroll School of Management right now with the state of the economy and the financial industry. We spend a lot of time in my Financial Accounting class talking about what is going on right now. It is great to talk about real world issues in the classroom. I am going to a panel tonight about the financial crisis, put on by the Undergraduate Government of Boston College (UGBC), to learn more about what is going on from some of Boston College's best professors.

That's about all for this week!

As always, GO BC!!!
