“After finals week last year, I had about a week vacation at home, and then went out to Hartford, Connecticut where I worked at ING in a summer actuarial internship, and in fixed income securities. I got back at the end of July, and went up to the Guntherland Trail in the Boundary Waters for about five days. I had about another week-and-a-half vacation there, then came to St. Thomas for operation managers’ training, starting on [Aug. 18]. Pretty full summer.”
