Today was the last Consumption Function of the 2011-2012 academic school year at Haas. It’s amazing to think that an entire year has ended. It seemed like just yesterday that I was sitting in Andersen Auditorium listening to the second-year class talk about their experiences. Next year, I will be a second-year MBA student taking all elective-courses and everything old will be new again.

To end with a festive bang, the culinary club provided a roast pig. I should remind you that my friend Chris (who is also VP of Meat in the culinary club) has been talking about wanting to roast a pig since the beginning of the year. It took an entire year to coordinate, but he finally got his wish.

Well, almost. The original plan was to roast the pig in the courtyard in front of all the students. However, the vendor discovered that somebody had stolen the lid to the roaster from the back of his truck. As a result, he had to pre-roast the big, saran wrap it, and bring it to campus.

Regardless, the pig was very delicious. I think the best part was the layer of fat directly underneath the crispy skin. My mouth is watering as I type this.

I think those kids from The Lord of the Flies were on to something.
