Today marked my last class for 2012 ((I have an assignment due for this class that I just finished today, but it’s not due until January 14, so I figure I don’t need to worry about it until after Christmas))! I am a very, very tired – but very happy – Dr. Beth. The classes […]

Just finished a marathon Skype call, on which my group and I completed our Business Economics assignment. We were encouraged to do the assignment in groups of 4, but pretty much everyone in class felt that it was the best idea to do all the questions on our own (as it’s the best way to […]
Since the core part of my MBA program is complete, I figured it was time to check in on my “time spent” data. When last I looked ((Back in July.)), I had been spending, on average, 17.7 hrs per week on school (including both time in class and time on homework), with a 0.87 hrs […]

I had grand […]
My managerial economics prof offered my class the option to have a math refresher evening to make sure we are up to speed on the math we need to understand to be able to do the work we need to do in managerial economics. So after spending the past three days at the health care […]
And so my glorious, glorious summer break ends. After work today, I head back to class for the first time since June 24! The break from classes has been much appreciated – though I’ve been working on assignments and readings and our big business plan project, it’s been really nice to be able to sleep […]

Whenever I’m on the Island, I always go to Serious Coffee ((Again, no association with this company. I just like them!)). It’s a local chain with some pretty decent coffee – both the drip coffee and the espresso-based drinks. Since I am on a workcation ((Working on both homework and on my top secret project!)) […]
