ON VACATION. The first semester is over. The drunken revelry has passed. Congratulations to the first years for surviving core. Now all you have to do is survive recruiting season in the Spring. Congratulations to the second years. Only one more semester to go. We expect a lot more high jinks and a lot less responsibility from all of you.

Happy Holidays to everyone. Overheard is taking a holiday break. This being MIT, independent study season is upon us and that means Chile in January. Anything to escape the frigid winter winds.

We ask everyone going off on various trips around the world to write down any interesting quotes you might pick up from fellow Sloanies as they party in Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, New Zealand, Australia and the like and send it to us at Overheard. Any damning pictures are always welcome.

Thanks to everyone who bought us drinks and made us happy in 2003. Here's to the new year where I will hopefullly get you all back.
