last wish … :)
i just came from the first meeting session for my Strama (Strategic Management) class … Strama is my last subject … and this is (hopefully!) my last term in MBA! (well, i do have one elective this term and technically, i still need to enroll OCE next term but Strama is supposed to be the climax of my MBA life … and it was a long wait … very loooong! Typical part-time MBA students with no business background (whatsoever! — like me!) will take around three years (normal 6-unit load per term) to finish … i started in 2003 and only now am i in my Strama Class! Most of my basic MBA subject classmates have graduated … (most of them got married as well … but that’s a different blog altogether … hmmm … i think that was the subject of my previous blog! ;=) hehehehe) Anywho … as i was saying, it was a loong journey and i can almost see the end of my 6-year self-induced, pursuit-of-higher-learning struggles! Of course, i have to pass this term to actually graduate … and the first session was a bittersweet taste of the weeks to come! I specifically chose the section i am currently enrolled in because i know i will learn (and suffer! ;=) ) a lot from the professor and tonight’s session was a sampler and it’s making good on my wish of learning (and suffering!).
I have grand plans for this term and this subject actually — i will not cram on my papers … i will read all assigned readings and do additional research as needed … i will be extra hyper at Class recitations … i will get 4.0!!! (hehe … one can dream, right?!) — hmmm … come to think of it, i did have all those plans every term and every end of the term i have a blog (well, not really every term!) about my cramming ingenuity and my buzzer-beater successes! i think this time it will happen though … i am not very busy anymore (read: updated facebook and friendster and chatting throughout the day!) and i even arranged for work-from-home (WFH) every Monday! ;=) Yeah, this time it will happen … it has to … since i cannot anymore hide under the guise and excuse of being busy! ;=)
