This is the last day of classes for the semester, with only final exams remaining next week. It has been a long, rather difficult semester so I am glad that it is almost finished. It hasn’t been all bad, though. I really liked some of the classes and I had some excellent teachers as well. Some of the classes weren’t my favorite, but you’ll have some of those throughout an MBA. After next week I just have two six-week summer sessions left before I graduate. It’s crazy to think about how close it is. I’m definitely looking forward to finishing, but I know I’ll miss it once I’m gone. I feel that I’m ready to move on though. I’m definitely ready to move out of Toledo and down to Columbus in August. There are going to be a lot of big changes as soon as I graduate, but I’m ready.

This semester continues to draw to a close. I can’t say I’m entirely disappointed…it has been a difficult semester. I’ve had a lot of work and some difficult material. It hasn’t been all bad though. The group projects have made me feel closer to some of the cohort, which is always nice. My groups have 2 presentations coming up. 1 is to Owens Corning for our marketing plan, which I’m actually pretty excited about because our group came up with some really good ideas. The other is for our quantitative analysis project, which shouldn’t be bad at all…the project was more about the spreadsheet and analysis than the presentation. After those 2 presentations and 1 more finance homework, all that is left is final exams. They are going to be tough, but I’m still hoping to come out with good marks. We shall see.

This week I had a group presentation in Finance and we turned in our semester long group project in Marketing. I was happy with our Marketing project…I thought it turned out very nice. We will have to present our project to Owens Corning later this month. So for now, I am somewhat relaxed…although we have a Quantitative Analysis project due in a week. This semester has definitely been the toughest yet so I will be relieved when it is all over. There is still a long way to go in terms of studying and work though.

Hey all,
Its now officially April, which means just one more month until the Spring semester is over. This has been a pretty tough semester…a lot of work with a lot of content. My advice would again be to keep up with your work. There are a lot of group projects this semester as well…at least 1 in every class. If you can get with a group that you work well with it will make a world of difference. I have 2 big projects due next week, and then its crunch time to finish the two projects that are due in two weeks. After that, its final exam time. I’m definitely looking forward to having a few weeks off between Spring and Summer sessions. I’m actually planning on heading down to Columbus to look for an apartment and hopefully set up some job interviews (keep your fingers crossed). If anyone has any questions about the program or anything, feel free to ask. Have a good week. Take care.
