first week of classes...

Phew. The first week of classes finally ended! I know some folks were wondering what happened to me last week, since I fell out of touch for a few days... The answer is I just jumped on the moving train that is my MBA course. With six classes each term (and terms that are only eight weeks long), it means that we are charging full speed ahead from day one! We had about 800 pages of reading to do for the first week alone, in addition to other career and CV/resume workshops, speaker events, industry panels, etc. No rest for the weary, and by Thursday everyone was walking around the school looking like complete zombies!

The classes for this term are: Strategic Management, Organizational Behavior, Managerial Economics, Financial Reporting/Accounting, Decision Science (statistics), and Finance 1. It's a full load, but at least most of the lecturers are very dynamic and engaging (which is particularly helpful since each lecture is 3.5 hours long). All in all a good start, and I'm hoping everyone's moods will improve once we get more adapted to the pace... First assignments (one group and one individual) are due this Monday and Tuesday already, so we're off and running!
