Today I went sailing with a couple of MBAs and the Oxford Sailing Club on a little reservoir just west of the City. The boats were two person dinghies and we got paired with experienced sailors. This meant that I got to spend a few hours on the water with students from other majors. I had a great conversation with a computational statistician (think building the models run by financial services firms like hedge funds) who was also a die hard sailor. It was a really great way to spend the afternoon, but it certainly makes me regret not getting involved in more activities during my short time here. Message to the class of 2008; a year goes by really quickly, so make some memories outside of the classroom.
