I went out for lunch today (well, technically it's now yesterday) with a bunch of friends from my previous job/school. It was lots of fun seeing them, and now I remember why I liked my fellow academics (previous job/degree was in the English dept. at NIU) more than I like my current MBA classmates. Not that MBA people aren't nice - but they're so much more, well, stuffy, and I certainly have more in common with my old crowd.
We caught up on American Idol as well - I think I like the new season, but the girls kind of suck. There's a few that are good - but I'd be surprised if the guys don't do better overall based on what I've seen.
