Blogging from the Heartland

Greetings from Omaha, Nebraska where later today around fifty students from the Kenan-Flagler Business School and the McCombs School of Business will meet with legendary investor Warren Buffett. 

 

When I got off the plane 30 minutes ago at Eppley Airfield, the weather was a chilly 35 degrees. This is quite a change compared to the unusually warm weather we’ve been having in North Carolina. For comparison purposes, it was 68 degrees when I arrived at Raleigh Durham International five hours earlier.

 

During the first leg of the flight to Atlanta, I sat next to a graduate of the Kenan-Flagler MAC (masters of accounting) program. He currently works for a computer hardware manufacturer. If you are an MBA student, chances are you are right now using hardware manufactured by his employer. We talked about our experiences with our respective programs and turns out he’s taken some of the classes that I am either currently taking or plan on taking next semester.

 

The rest of the trip was boring but I did get the chance to take a nap on the flight from Atlanta to Omaha. I am going to need it since we have an early start later today.
