Year 2, Day 1
It seems like only yesterday i was trying to find room 220 for my first Owen MBA class. How quickly a year passes.
Saw a lot of my friends at school today; everyone has fantastic stories about their internships, summer trips, etc. It's going to take weeks to catch up with everyone.
You can smell the fear around the halls. The first years obviously have been "informed" that while the last week of orientation was a lot of fun and good times, all that just came to a crashing halt. The dark, harsh world of Mod I is upon them.
At any rate, you should be hearing from the OwenBloggers troops a lot more frequently in the coming weeks. We're all settling back into school and organizing our schedules. I'll be interested to see what our first year bloggers think of the beginning of their MBA experience.
Hah. I'm glad it's that obvious Isaac. There is definitely apprehension about everything - keeping up in class, joining new clubs, networking, getting a job, managing to sleep somewhere in there. But along with that is a lot of excitement, it should be quite the ride (see Jared's post about a roller coaster).

High five, Jared. Take it to 'em.
For all 2nd-years: don't you wish everyone used Dial?

That's not fear you smell. It's the faint odor of the class of 2008's broken dreams and delusions of grandeur as your new, better-looking counterparts march triumphantly over your previously set records and accolades. Check Lehmen's office, we’re already on the board.
On behalf of all 1st years; consider the gauntlet thrown down.
