While it's only been four years since I've been out of school, it feels like an eternity since I've been on-campus... learning! Going to class, going to the library, doing homework, reading... All of these things feel so mewhat foreign to me. Although studying for the GMAT was definitely good preparation--I got real intimate with the library through that process... just ask the Chicago crew--what GMAT studying didn't prepare me for is all of the READING that comes with the graduate studies!!!
Did I really not read that much in business school? Doubtful. I'm pretty sure I read a ton, and I'm now suffering from selective amnesia.
Anywho, despite all of the reading demands, I'm actually enjoying things this go round... Last week, I read lots of Finance and Econ stuff, The Prince and the UN's Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women... Hadn't touched the last two since Mr. Horner's class and Model UN in high school. This week it's The Art of War, Half the Sky, Gender and Elections and some Econ and Finance texts. Next week it's The Art of Woo as well as more Econ and Finance texts... You see a pattern with Econ and Finance??? Oh, and I read The Power Broker over the summer... That one is in a class of it's own.
All in all things are going well... Just in a couple of short weeks, though, I've realized it's going to be a hectic, page-turning semester :-)
(Oh, the first picture... that's the Harold Washington Library in Chicago, my former second home... Below you'll see my new home, the Van Pelt on Penn's campus.)
