yep, that's what I thought

Midterm 1 is down.

Out of all the possible combinations of questions, these 3 really weren't that bad. A few people grumbled that they studied too much... but really, that's impossible.

I just hope they did well.

Come to think of it... I hope I did well.
I'm sure I did alright, but I'm not fooling myself. Two nights up North hanging with friends followed by a fantastic day at the opera with my wife did not lend itself well to hardcore studying.

I almost, almost hope I get a lower than average grade, just so I can kick myself into schooltime shape.

Almost.

more information, please...

Mid-terms are next week.

Normally, this wouldn't be an issue. Normally, I understand what topics I'm responsible to know.

Normally... I have at least a clue about what's going on.

I have discovered that more than one of my classes is taught using a self-described 'nebulous' approach... meaning I'm supposed to teach myself.

Do I see a problem with this?? Yes.

MBA programs may be cost effective, but they are not cheap. I came here to learn from professors and industry leaders because there are aspects of business that I do not know.

If I wanted to go to the library to learn how to run a multi-national corporation, I would have.

...


I guess I just wish I had a study guide.

"AAHH! You're not my science book!!"

Proven to myself.

After more than a month, I still have not completely grasped the concept of "efficient time management".

Isn't there a class I can take on this? There could be, actually.... sounds like something I should look into while I'm not working on required assignments...

But yes, I have proved to myself that 4 hours is enough time to complete an accounting case study, even when working on zero sleep and a head full of post Western PA wedding bliss. Those country folk do know how to throw a party.

Ouch. I have so very much left to do.
