Yesterday was a monumental, memorable, meaningful and magnificent day.
Yesterday, I received the actual MBA diploma. I almost feel like it’s been just a whirlwind experience and classes are now simply a distant memory. 6-12 page papers once due weekly are now a distant memory. 400 pages of reading per week, now a distant memory. Compromising […]
So, I’ve sort of got a routine going. I was catching the bus at like 7:14 which gets me into work a few minutes before 8am. Then, of course I had the moment where someone now recognizes me and decides to talk to me the entire time.
I didn’t mind, the person was nice. They live […]
This week was full to the brim with new and challenging projects, plans, papers…etc.
I think I’ve discovered a routine, which is fitting because I am a creature of habit and do well with structure (hence why unemployment was so discerning for me). I get up just before 6am and hit the pavement to catch the […]
Friday evening’s class was celebratory. I brought in cookies to announce and invite classmates to have a “Kelly’s got a job” cookie. I got lots of congrats and even a small bottle of Champagne from one of my dearest classmates.
Saturday felt really long. Class seemed to just drag. The 10am guest speaker decided not to […]
Saturday’s MBA Seminar spurred a ton of interest in new reading material. I already have about 10 books staring at me telling me to finish them. Some of them are brain candy while some are appropo to career development. In case you are interested they are, as I’m sure you will recognize some:
The Tipping Point

I never was the person to sit and gaze over a laptop or textbook for hours at the coffeehouse, but I’m starting to become one.
With the consistency of distractions that are at my every turn at home, I’ve decided I need to be somewhere, where I can truly concentrate with minimal distractions.
Last week it worked […]
Not all of the papers and case studies we are forced to read and conduct are without their true merit. This one particular case that is due tomorrow before class is on Robert Mondavi and The Wine Industry.
How appropo since I just applied for two jobs with two different wineries (talk about a hell of […]
This past week has been good, however incredibly stressful and I’m obsessing over my next paper, just too much pressure.
I was floored last Thursday, when I received my latest paper back graded from the professor and learned from the e-mail he sent to the class that, “Kelly knocked the cover off the ball on this […]
Well, my confidence just like the Zebra got completely devoured. I’m more than disappointed in the grade I received on my first paper to this professor. According to him my writing isn’t even close to what one should be at in a graduate level course. So, my course of action is to request a re-do. […]
So, what fortune is to be told on this yearly anniversary of my birth? So much is yet to be revealed. I am hopeful for the best, the best is yet to come I am sure of it.
Despite the incredibly demanding new class (Business, Government and the international economy) pretty scary eh? I am trying […]
