Whoa.  I really thought that I’d have time to update the blog and stuff during my first semester of grad school but obviously I didn’t.  We’ve made it through the first semester!  I can honestly say that I learned a lot this semester.  Here’s some high points from my classes:

Accounting- represents exactly how I don’t think

Finance- Finance professors can be ridiculously nice, almost like an older uncle or grandfather

Economics- is so much more interesting if you are applying it to what is actually happening in the world

Strategy- When you’re British, people like you with little to no reason but then if you give a difficult test they immediately dislike you

Systems & Design Thinking- Business people are not only not skilled at drawing they are extremely insecure about their drawing skills

Marketing- Is kind of a joke even for people like me who have spent their entire career in marketing

Operations-meep… meep… meep… ????

Statistics- Don’t eat meat, wear only black and when in doubt write calculations that fill the entire board but will not be on the exam- but make sure you don’t mention that until AFTER everyone has frantically tried to copy down everything you’re writing.  Suckas!

LEAD (Leadership Assessment & Development)- People think differently about you than you think of yourself

I’m looking forward to the next three weeks.  My plans include:

- Detox- no more coffee for me!

- Cleaning the house because it’s not untidy, it’s actually dirty

- Learning to prepare more nutritious meals

- Attending Sustainable Cleveland 2019

- Figuring out and preparing for my future career

- Catching up with friends I haven’t talked to in months!
