2011 was great. It brought a lot of changes for myself, my friends and my family. I got to be a proud older brother when my sister accomplished her goal of landing an internship with Omni Hotels for this coming summer. I got to make a whole bunch of new friends coming to Chicago for graduate school. I'm looking forward to 2012 and hope to make it just as memorable.
Happy New Year
Cheers
