5 Week Vacation

Being in school means extra long vacation breaks (unfortunately they are not paid vacation). My last day of classes was December 16th and most second years don't start class until January 20th. Many student take this time off to do absolutely nothing. Some participate in the 3 school sponsored trips over the Christmas Break - Eastern Europe, China, and India. And also there is a 3 week class or that begins January.

I spent my time split between family, skiing in Utah, job hunting, and working on a project for Cornell's Technology Transfer Office. The project invoved developing a business plan for one of the agriculture technologies - it was great but the industry had only a little information about it. 100's of technologies are posted on the CCTEC website www.cctec.cornell.edu If you have some time, poke around the site - if you are interested in Entrepreneurship, nearly all of the technologies are available for "internship" like experiences.
