Last day at Babson yesterday and it was a sad to say goodbye to all the professors. Of course we were glad to be heading for the holidays and for a few weeks off the case studies.
Unfortunately, our plane was late taking off from Boston - and then late getting into Heathrow. I have decided Heathrow is on my least favourite places list. After running off the plane, getting on a shuttle to another terminal, going thru security - I missed my flight to Glasgow. Which in itself would have been fine, but of course the ticket desk where I was couldn't put me on another flight.
So back out of the terminal, onto a shuttle bus to another terminal, thru security and line up at the ticket desk. I was then told to try and get a train. After much persuasion, and a few tricks from Prof Marken's class I managed to get myself onto a later flight, with a connection tomorrow to Kirkwall. Fingers crossed my flight today won't be cancelled like all the other flights seem to be... watch this space.
Everything in moderation is the key - including SNOW!!!!

MacD, MacHazel, Claire Bear, Roomie!
Last Day, Last Fellow. Claire.
Fast Facts
1) Multitasking extraordinaire. She can watch 1 sport on TV and another sport on her laptop whilst having an intelligent conversation on another topic. (If the conversation is with me, the topic is NOT sport - Rondo maybe, but not sport)
2) She selflessly volunteers to join me in endless tastings in search for the perfect red wine - smooth, velvety, non hang over inducing, and well... cheap. What can I say - we are students.
3) She has da' moves on da' dance floor. The handstand type move she pulled last Friday at the party was simply stunning.
hugs to Claire bear

Fellow of the Day - The lovely Fahd
Let me introduce Fahd, today's Fellow of the Day (or night as the case may be)
Fast Facts:
1) Fahd is an awesome cook. We have all enjoyed his curries over the past 12 weeks - my favourite has been the mutton and spinach curry.
2) He is the PERFECT chaperone. He kindly drives us home after a night out even with our singing, giggling and demanding of junk food for the whole journey.
3) The man can dance! Put on some Bangra and he is out on the dance floor like a flash.
Claire Bear and I will miss you SOOOO much Fahd! The Natick crew is officially disbanded.

Fellow of the day - Toy Boy
This is David. He wasn't fond of the name Toy Boy so we changed it to TB instead.
Fast Facts -
1) He carries a manbag (the brand is actually man bag). It is much larger than my handbag and always seems to be full. None of us have been brave enough to dive in to see what it contains.
2) Techno Nibbles and Jojo convinced him to buy a pair of jeans. After much shopping, debating and persuasion, he now also owns a hoodie. The transformation to street David is now complete.
3) He has the most eclectic taste in music on his ipod. If it's a long journey home, make sure he doesn't play the rain soundtrack. After a few beers it's really not what you want to hear.

Madhu - with a silent H
Fellow of the day! Madhushka, Madman or Madhu [please note the H is silent]
1) He has salsa danced with the Fellows, some of the professors and even a GlobalScot or two! (But couldn't quite eclipse Sandy Pandy and her Booty Poppin' as the 'official' dance)
2) Looks right at home behind the wheel of the muscle car, as he spins it round corners at top speed.
3) Is looking forward to see his wife of 3 and half months in just a few short days. Yep that's right, he married Tanya then came to Boston a few weeks later. Lucky they had their honeymoon first, shame about the hurricane season! Will they renew their vows in Vegas at Christmas????

Presenting... the amazing Jojo
Fast Facts
2) Google is her servant. The girl can whip up analytics faster than anyone I know and manage to explain the results in normal human terms!
3) She has a WICKED sense of humour . She can deliver a sharp one liner in that lovely accent of hers that will floor you, while she continues to smile away. I wish my brain moved that fast!
We love you Jojo.

Anirudh's House
We were invited to Anirudh & Bea's House yesterday afternoon on the promise of seeing the little twins. Mission accomplished!
It was pointed out - there is a lack of food on this blog, but I think that is because I get so excited about the food I just eat it before I remember to take the pics. This behaviour was repeated at Anirudh's house so yet again, no pics of the wonderful table spread that was put on, and especially none of the Kulfi - that was gone in a second!!
