Today was fun. I woke up late-ish (around 9AM), took my sweet time, went to a Magic tournament (new big set prerelease tournament actually), arrived 45 minutes late, built a deck in 5 minutes flat (with a friend quickly helping me sort cards), won all 4 rounds and walked out with 10 boosters of prize, a big smile on my face for a great day of fun, and some time to see Janine.
After spending some quality time w/ Janine, I am pleased to say that this was one of the most relaxed and fun days I have spent in quite some time. I missed playing and competiting at Magic and I needed to let go my projects and school stuff for some time. I accomplished all of that quite well and will have a quite busy couple of days catching up :)
Anyways, I just felt in the mood for posting so I thought I might as well do so and give some more news!
Love,

So what's new in September?
Hello everybody!
Kash here speaking. It's been a while since I actually posted anything with content, so let's go through a quick update of what's going on in Montreal.
1- beautiful weather in August and September! Who would have thought? Certainly not me. I'm sweating my ass off and loving every smelly moment. (ahum) Well, let's just say that winters are long and cold and I'm definitely enjoying the brief respite from the cold.
2- school's in again! Actually, between the end of the summer session and the beginning of orientation and craziness that this fall was, I had very little time for a breather. I didn't even get to see my peeps since Marcel was working hard on his thesis and Bourgui on his black belt. At least they both are doing amazing things and I got to sit around and sleep in for a week-end (Waking up at 10 AM? Woohooo!)
3- I'm doing lots of cases in my classes. As in reading quite a few pages, analyzing them and trying to get a reasonable story and recommendations out of it. It's a very intense process and I think this is what makes the MBA worthwhile. I'm also taking an entrepreneurship class and I think I could be a good one. All I need at this point is a good opportunity on which I am qualified to act (i.e. probably something to do w/ computers) :) If not, I think I can be a strong management type guy that will actually understand the techies and might even share a few common things with them
Yeah, the MBA also teaches you to do lists. How pathetic that I can't find a better way to express myself :)
Nono would probably make all of this sound exciting and mysterious.
Oh, how could I forget? The wedding date has being narrowed down to the 18th of July in the Casino du Liban in Jounieh, Lebanon. We're waiting to see on developments in Lebanon's stability before confirming anything, but if you're reading this blog, there's a good change (100% I'd say) that you'll be gettting an invite around X-mas time, so plan your summers around this if you want to come!
As I already said, I unfortunately won't be able to provide lodging for anyone, but we an arrange for cheap accomodation nearby, especially if many people think they'll show.
All of this is still a little premature at the moment since Lebanon is not very calm and reassuring right now, but I still hope that things will be good by the summer.
That's it for my brief update, see you next month at the latest!
Love,
Karim
