the CEO of RJR came to talk to us today. felt like he belonged in berkeley with his laugh and the way he talked. in any case, the best comment was probably when the ex-dean of our school asked him "with all the layoffs and the merger that happened the past two weeks, you seem to be pretty relaxed." andrew schindler, the ceo of RJR responded, "it's because i'm on drugs!" that was pretty funny. his laugh made it even funnier.

it's halloween. my costume this year will probably be the most original. i'm going as either an asian ... or better yet, a caucasian.
