Go Big Red!

I was looking forward to my drive to Albany and Boston mostly because fall is my favorite time of year and I knew visually I was in for a treat :) For those of you in places where you don't get to see the amazing foilage of upstate NY, I've shared a short 1 minute video below. I'm quite sure I could get in trouble for filming and driving, so don't tell any highway patrolman, ok?


Of course, I could have stayed all weekend with my friends in Boston after my interview, but I had to come back for Cornell Homecoming! Sadly, this being my sixth year at Cornell, I think it was only my second Homecoming football game. And even this time, I couldn't stay for the whole game because it just got too cold to enjoy. It was a gorgeous afternoon, but chillier than I expected. I did get to stay through the very spirited half time show when the band performed, joined by alumni band members. I had every intention of going to the Homecoming Concert too, but those plans changed when I decided to meet up with my Hermanas (Sorority sisters) for dinner. We had an alumna Hermana on campus doing some interviewing for her firm. She was a member of the second pledge class (ever) 19 years ago and hasn't been back on campus for the last 12 years. It was great just to hear stories about what her experience was like 20 years ago at Cornell. My night was capped off when I joined some friends at Stella's, one of my favorite bar's in Collegetown. I have included a few photos from Saturday's events below.


Cheers!
