Phew!

We finally got done with our first set of finals this semester. And they were painful. Yes. That’s the only word that I can think of to describe them. My classmates will not disagree.

I’ll tell you this — the A session finals brought all of us ‘high-flying MBAs’ back down to earth. Everyone’s emotions were running high, whether they were through screams, tears (no kidding), caffeine binges, or (hilarious) Facebook status updates.

As for me, I don’t think I performed well enough. Accounting troubled me a lot; enough to make me hope for some kindness from my professor. To be honest, I’ve learned a lot of lessons about my study patterns and how I should adjust to these new circumstances. Hopefully, I’ll be able to incorporate these lessons into the B session so it doesn’t hurt my overall first semester grade too much. The good news is that I’ll have Marketing in the B session which is definitely my strong suit. The bad news is that I’ll have Finance — numbers again! 

My class certainly knows how to blow some steam. MBA ‘11ers gathered in full force at The Foundry last night in an effort to forget the past 2 months (hehe, just kidding). It was definitely a relief to see so many smiling faces after so long. 

Anyway, I’m looking forward to Monday. We didn’t have classes on Thursday and Friday. A lot of my friends are using this extended weekend to go on hiking/camping/mountain-biking trips or just some general out-of-town R&R. It’ll be good to get back to the grind on Monday.

Over ‘n out.
