End of the 7th Week! 14 Days Until Spring Break
Heyy Everyone! Wow. Wow. 7 Weeks done for me already? Someone wake me up because I don't believe it! Today I wake up with only 8 weeks of school left for the semester. Countdowns from today are: 14 Days Until Spring Break, 29 Days Until Chicago (BAP Regional meeting), 68 Days Until the Semester is over. Incredible!
In my Strategic Marketing Management course, I received my test back. The average for the class was an 88% and the high score was a 94%. I was average. I received an 88%, I aced the essay portion with 100% - had to do with the Business Model and how it relates to a certain company that we focused on in the beginning of the course. The Multiple Choice, however, not so well - receiving an 80% on that section and that was the majority of the grade. An 88% isn't bad because pair that with a 100% from my first paper - I have earned 45.2% of my grade so far with a total max of 50% left that I can earn. So, if I do the same on my next exam and report, I will finish the course with a 90.4%, HOWEVER, the next exam will be heavily weighted on the essay portion, which I do better, so I hope to achieve higher than that. Overall, not bummed, but not extremely pleased - there is still much more that I could have done to better prepare myself. You learn from mistakes and from practice, that is all that one can do.
I have an assignment due Sunday night at 8pm for Leadership with an Economic Analysis due Tuesday for Investment Analysis course. I will be pretty busy these next few days working on those assignments, but the distraction of this computer, as I have stated, is insane.
How does it feel to be 7 weeks done as a graduate student, as I asked myself? Well, it feels strange because normally, one would go to class, come home and study etc. Now, I wake up, study and do homework and then go to class - it's in reverse order. So let's say that you woke up every day and ate breakfast, but instead you wake up and eat dinner - it's going to be an adjustment that your mind and body have to get used to. I feel as though time is of the essence as that is ONE thing that man/woman cannot control - it is out of one's grasp, therefore you need to be both effective and efficient.
Anyone have any plans for spring break coming up? I am going to chicago the weekend after so I am excited about that - maybe get some of the chi-style deep dish pizza? Hope everyone's semesters and lives are going well and I wish you a great weekend! I will post again soon.
