I still have one class this semester, but it's over on July 17 and then I have a month off before school starts up again in earnest. In addition, the class I still have left is my product and brand management class, and I'm really enjoying it. It's stuff I get, stuff I care about and most of all, my teacher is a lot of fun to listen to. He's been around (he worked for Disney at one point) and has a wealth of experience to share. I think it's been my favorite class of my entire program. But the good news is that I can finally take a break and relax a bit.
As I look back on the last year of my schooling, I've figured out a lot of things. Number one, don't try and do too much (school + work + Mormon Tabernacle Choir + no wife = no sleep*stress) and in order to get good grades in something you haven't studied your whole life (like, let's say music) you've really got to put in the time. I've finally figured that out, and my grades are improving because of it. Thank goodness for that because they probably would have kicked me out had I not figured it out. Plus, now that Angela has returned home (yay!) she keeps me on a more stringent sleep schedule. Thank goodness for that too.
In any case, I've learned a great deal about business in this last year and stuff that I think will make me more marketable in the future. The best part? I'm mostly done with my "required" classes and now I get to start taking all my electives. I'm really excited about that because I don't have to take any more math intensive courses, which I've discovered, I can do, but not without a great deal of perspiration and frustration.
Anyway, a break is coming and I am now officially a second year MBA student. Gotta love that.
