Tidbits #1

Writing begun at 2:04 am.

As many of you will soon notice, a certain company always leaves a pamphlet all over the School of Management. Unfortunately, the leaflet is called "Tyler's Tidbits." As much as I would love to take credit for the printing----I had absolutely nothing to do with it. It is also possible that I have answered this question more times than an average MBA can say "synergy" during a powerpoint presentation. (The record for saying "St. Louis" in a class period is 13--but I digress).

The pamphlet was troublesome but has inspired me to do a quick shot of updates throughout the year about anything I enjoy about Boston, BU, or the MBA experience in general. These will be the very quick versions of President's Corner topics and promise not to be especially serious in any regard.

For the first, I thought I'd hit on a few things that I have missed from Boston. Some of these are silly, a few childish, but all are things I'm looking forward to back in beantown.

1. My apartment
2. Sega Genesis
3. NHL '95
4. Excessively postered walls
5. Closet door improvisation
6. Cabinet space
7. Closet space
8. The CITGO sign, my beacon home

10. The T (nope, that's a lie)
11. The Laura Plattner cheer (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)
12. BBQs on the Esplanade
13. The B.U.R.P.s
