So, my classes for school started this week. Goodbye social life, hello papers. I know, I signed up for it, so it's my own fault, but it is something I wanted to do for a long time. I am pursuing my MBA, which for most of my inner circle is kind of out of character. Why, you ask? Well, first of all, there is the whole "bettering myself" thing. I am a huge advocate of life-long learning - which explains my current job. Secondly, it is a challenge, and contrary to popular belief, I LOVE a challenge. However, I am doing it because it is a goal of mine - and one I hope to accomplish very soon!
You see, sports fans, I am smart... my family will attest to that. The thing is, I am smart when I apply myself. Let's not talk about college... ok? For me, this degree is so important. It makes me realize that perseverance, determination, and a little bit of drive can get you anywhere. It also makes me realize that I am masochist, and love that I am educationally abused and love every minute of it.
So my goal here is to not complain of the three HUGE papers I need to write in the next six weeks. It's not to bitch about the "group work" that comes with the program, and most importantly, it isn't to bitch that I don't have a life. I didn't have a life before Grad school... I am sure I won't have one after... but it's a life I like. I like being a homebody. I like having the phone ring and catching up with an old friend, and I like that when push comes to shove, my impeccable (HA) time management skills are put to the test.
Here is hoping the 4.0 stays after Human Capital Development! I will drink to that!
