break
The winter break of the so-called millennium is fast approaching (aaargh,
we mentioned it), and some of you have noticed and made some pretty wild
plans. But only a few of you seem really worried about just another calendar
date. Far more scary and far less airy is the prospect of final exams.
Pass or die. And then go home and recover.
 Adam McCabe,
Engineering ’99
“I’m Snoop Doggy Dogg trying to get a jobby job, and for New
Year’s I’m taking a cruise.”
Jessica
Chao, Nursing ’02
“I’m gonna go home and play with my brothers; they’re 6
and 12. I’m going to decide what I want to do with the rest of my
life.”
Kevin Dougherty,
College ’00
“Since I’m convinced the world is going to end, I talked some
of my friends into going to Amsterdam and London with me over the break.
We’re arriving in London on the 31st just in time to join in the
millennium madness in Trafalgar Square. It’s kind of exciting to
think that I will be experiencing 2000 before everyone here — at
least for a few hours.”
Josh Davis,
College ’01
“Nothing big. I’m going abroad next semester, so I’ll be
getting ready for that. I don’t have plans for the millennium yet.”
Lili Grunwald,
College ’01
“I’m going to Mexico for a week of swing dancing there. I’m
also going to Florida too. I’m having a good winter break!”

Rivera, Nursing ’02

sleep.”

“I’m going home to L.A. to spend time with my family, maybe
go skiing with them or something.”
David McCarthy,
Wharton Ph.D.
“I’m going home to South Africa, to lie in the sun next to the
pool and read a few good books. I will be celebrating the millennium at
my sister’s new house with my niece and the rest of my family, including
our dogs. I will return well rested and with a tan.”
John Baker,
Wharton ’00
“When I’m not partying like it’s 1999, I’m going to
decide whether I should work for Goldman, McKinsey, Chase, Merrill Lynch,
or McDonald’s.”
Michelle
Henry, College ’01
“I’m going home to work.”
Eric Mandel,
College ’03
“I’m flying all the way back to Portland, Ore. I’m also
flying in on my sister’s birthday, so it’ll be an extra surprise
present for her.”
Ethan Kay,
Wharton ’03
“I’m going to Israel with Hillel. I’m very excited
because it’ll be my first trip to that part of the world.”

Martin, Social Work Master’s
“I can’t even think past
Thanksgiving break yet.”
