Ithaca in the Fall
This is my favorite time of year.
I lived in Germany some years ago in a little village called Neidenbach; it is situated in a low mountain range in western Germany close to Belgium and Luxembourg. In the fall, I would jog to the village next to mine, Kyllburg and visit the Malberg castle. I remember the sounds of the falling water and sights of the vibrant autumn leaves as I approached this castle on a hill.
The natural beauty of Ithaca and the Cornell campus played a role in my decision to come to the Johnson School. Cornell sits on a hilltop overlooking the Cayuga Lake, the longest of the Finger Lakes. When I walk to class, I walk over a beautiful stream and admire the bright fall colors. There are gorges, creeks and waterfalls all over campus, and I enjoy spending free time exploring the natural beauty that surrounds me.
But, fall break is over now! So is my study break.
We are back in the thick of academic heat: Strategy, Corporate Finance, and Statistics. I must get back to studying Stock Valuations for an upcoming Finance quiz!
