It's minnertime

One term that has fully entered the lexicon of male HBS students is "minner," the term for dinners attended only by the men of the section. Lest you think this is some modern version of the boys-only treehouse, it's common for both the men and women of HBS sections to have a few dinners or social events per year that are just for them. The term is delightfully compact, instantly recognizable (unlike its midday counterpart, the "munch") and loaded with the connotations of minners of the past.

Inflections

Things have taken on their own inescapable momentum now, as we hurtle towards the conclusion of our time here. The last week was marked by the HBS Show, the annual student musical written, produced and acted in by MBAs. It was one of the most fun experiences I've had, and a fitting way to cap off what have been two of the best years of my life.
