The Blue Eagle Always Prevails

I am so fucking high on adrenaline right now. I just got my summer offer from Barclays and feel like I can rule the world.

All of you dumbasses at American Bulge Brackets, beware. Heh, I'm sat here drinking my tea knowing I will dominate the competition half a year from now. My little monkey gets erect at the thought of winning mandates over Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan.

The big leagues here we come. I may not have gotten a return offer from my previous SA, but that shan't happen again. The Blue Eagle will Always Prevail.

If Barclays' blood flow is anything like its deal flow, they'll need it.
