EMBA Survival

Team 8 was Great

Last semester, I was fortunate to be on a great team with some fantastic people.  We were team #8: Seema, Faycel, Thomas, Bob, and myself.  These folks are very smart, motivated, nice, and fun to work with.  We accomplished a lot, worked well together, and laughed a lot.

A notable achievement was our victory at the Ice Cream Game, where our team sold more of the virtual product that we made than any other team:

That's us at the top :)

Here we all are at the end of the semester smoking victory cigars:

I miss working with them, but I don't miss them because we're all good friends now and will definitely keep in touch.

mail at school

It used to be that opening your mailbox was a fun part of the day.  Sure, there might be bills or unwanted coupons and such, but there was always the chance of receiving a nice surprise.

Opening your mailbox at school will evoke a completely different kind of anticipation.  Might you receive a surprise?  You bet ;-)

Semester I - done

I haven't had a chance to blog as much as I had hoped I would this first semester.  With the workload, I feel guilty about blogging and not studying.  I have good news about my grades.  I did much better than I thought I was going to:

                           

Data Analysis	A-
Financial Accounting	A
Organizational Behavior	A
Leadership	A+
Leadership Communications	A
Managerial Economics	A-
Strategy	A

I didn't get grades for Team Dynamics or Negotiations yet - I think those continue into the 2nd semester.  I think they are pass/fail anyway.  I'm not exactly sure, isn't that funny?

Here's what I do know.  My GPA is 3.92.  A+'s are more than a 4.0 and A-'s are less than a 4.0.

With work and school and commuting I felt behind all semester.  Given that, my good grades really blew me away!
