QBA-Quit Bothering me Already

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Is it too late to switch to philosophy, religion, or history, or transfer to a technical college?  Is it too late for that?  This semester was going pretty stinking good until Quantitative Business Analysis (QBA).  QBA is my kryptonite.  I’m not saying I’m anything close to Superman… but if I [...]

STDs hits Waco

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Let’s talk a little bit about Waco life.  Specifically, let’s talk about Waco food.  On the whole, it isn’t that bad.  With the large Latino population here, you would expect a huge amount of Mexican food, and to a certain extent, that’s right… there is a lot of Mexican food here.  But, [...]

It’s that time of year again.

Well, the temperature has dropped to a tolerable 70 degrees.  The leaves aren’t really changing but I imagine the foliage will begin to tilt towards fall soon enough.  If you live in a place with four seasons, then I’m quite sure you have seen the signs of fall already.  At Baylor in Waco, TX, we [...]

If you ain’t THIRD, you’re last

This is my last official Fall Break.  It doesn’t sound that exciting when you think about what I usually do with my fall breaks, sit around in my underwear, watch some football, maybe go for a bike ride… maybe.  But this fall break, I was invited to go to a case-competition hosted [...]

Touchy-feely business

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

“What’s the point?”
“What the heck is the point of taking political science classes in a business program?”
“Shouldn’t you be more focused on finance, microeconomics, and general business practices so that you can take those ideas to wherever you are going?”
These are all common questions an International Management student has to hear in [...]

It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

Let’s be honest; Baylor isn’t that bad of a place.  In fact it’s pretty cool with regards to faculty and staff.  Dr. Carini is willing to try new things that might make his students perform better; he’s kind of an organizational behavior guy like that. (here’s an artist’s rendering)

One thing that he [...]

20 Years and 200 lbs.

Here’s an excerpt from my diary.  It’s not really a diary… more of a journal.  Lots of guys have diaries, y’know.  It’s about this semester.

Since I haven’t written a post since before I left Argentina, I felt it necessary to pontificate upon the final semester of my academic career.  Before I begin, I [...]

The end of southern civilization as we know it…

Friday, June 20th, 2008

I realized I haven’t written anything about my internship on my Baylor Blog.  Let it be known that things are going well with the internship.  There really is not too much to report about my job.  In fact most of what I’m doing, I can’t talk about, because it’s all top secret.  I am doing [...]

Christmas is coming early this year…

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of bacon.  If you didn’t know that, then it’s probably your fault.  As a matter of fact I think bacon is one of the five best five letter words on the planet.  The complete list is here, http://rileye.wordpress.com/2007/09/22/thousands-of-years-of-thought-come-full-circle/.  But things are about to get serious.  One of my [...]

Matcek… Ryan’s roommate

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

- He’s a bit like a hippie;
and a bit like a narc.
He reads stories from the bible
like Jesus and the Arc.
- He rides his bike around
through the woods around trees
He runs kinda like a girl
to protect the cartilage in his knees.
- He’s not too culturally sensitive,
in fact his jokes are sometimes racist
but he cares for [...]
