I wasn’t going to post until finals were over, but I love this picture of Obama reading my blog! It’s heartwarming to know that the President can find time amongst his busy White House days to share in a moment of laughter with seven of his finest blue- and white-shirted colleagues.
Finals studying has been going well, but I’m feeling the do-something-useful itch. I’m thus looking forward to a productive winter of job searching, writing-sample editing, and sharing a warm bowl of noodles with good friends. I think that this summer will be a great chance to branch out and work in organizations that specialize in areas very apart from global health. It’ll be nice to pick up a new skill set and meet some differently-brained people.
My other goal for this break is to get through my new copy of Levinson’s Financial Markets. Also on my plate is Lords of Finance. I’m not being very ambitious here – I realize that it’ll take some time for me to learn the finance jargon – but hopefully it’ll allow me to converse in a new language slash bring up in unrelated discussions factoids about the finance in the 1920s.
Finally, I want to wish all my fellow students the best of luck with their Contracts final. No matter what happens, you’ll forever be able to understand law-related facebook-status puns.

Your first sentence had me hopping onto a Roflcopter.
My winter to-do list also includes job-searching and extensive book-reading! The two books I want to hopefully finish by the end of this week or the next are Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The Armies of the Night.
