Shane, a first year MBA, sent me this Yahoo/Businessweek articleby another first year MBA discussing the hectic schedule as a first year business student.

I’m gone the rest of the week for more job interviews (6000 miles flown in 14 days), but here’s some stuff I found earlier in the week to keep you going.

It’s probably not the best time to bring this up, week after Thanksgiving and all, but New Orleans - you’re fat! 13th fattest in the nation, in fact. As ranked by Forbes Magazine.
