Good riddance Winter Quarter 2010!! Can I be a 2nd year MBA yet?

I’m in the final stretch of Winter Quarter! Two more weeks to go. I actually have my first final on Thursday for my accounting class. My other two finals are next Thursday and Friday… Technically I’m taking those two early because I’m leaving for a study tour on Saturday. We’re seriously down to the wire [...]

Current: Front loaded.

I’m hanging out in the library at the moment catching up on everything I dropped earlier this week. My schedule this quarter is very front loaded. I’m busy Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and then my schedule on Thursday and Friday magically clears up. This week was especially front loaded with an interview and test to [...]

We started the evening with fondue and wine at Helen’s, then cheese and wine at Lacey’s and finally chocolate and wine at my place. I’ve never purchased so much chocolate in one shot in [...]

Foster Blog
European Union GBF  (This is a speaker-series class that I’m taking on the EU business climate. It’s two “deliverables” are blog posts!)
 
Second off, I’m reading an awesome book called, “Orbiting the Giant Hairball”. It’s written by a creative at Hallmark, who essentially has [...]
