MBA Is Not For Wimps

I am now in my third trimester of business school. It's a rough, tough, mind boggling course but somehow I am enjoying myself despite it all. If you've been reading my blog for awhile you know about last semester, when I went for that experiential business training and how I wanted to lessen my sewing to try for that straight As?? Well, of course I did not sew any less and of course I did not get straight As!! :P

However my result last semester was okay.... Again, recording here for my girls to read one day (and sharing with friends) I got As for both Marketing Management and Human Resource Management and only a B+ for Financial Management!! I know now where my challenges are! The previous semester it was Managerial Economics and now another mathematical/financial subject is the spoiler. I really have to work on these skills. On a happier note, alhamdulillah I maintained a healthy cgpa of 3.821 and am learning A LOT. In the end, it's the knowledge gained that really matters.

This semester, I am well into my specialization area, taking the first International Business course. I am lucky to be in a visiting American professor class for this subject. IB is a very challenging subject with economics, accounting, politics and cross culture all in one BUT learning it from a very experienced professor makes me enjoy every minute of the class. Total nerd I know! lol

All I wanted to say is, MBA is tough. But if you are doing it after you have been working few years you'll enjoy it. This semester would be tougher for me, as other than IB and Management Information System (which I love!) I am also taking Business Law, which is my least favorite subject of all time eurggh!

Ok, none of my blog post shall be without a picture. Now that we are on this scholarly topic, these are pictures of my girls posing as graduates complete with a graduation cap (morterboard) my Aisha made from paper. She is very into origami and the lil sister is more than willing to model lol. Let this serve as a message to me!!!



Lots of sewing posts coming up, stay tuned! *hugs*
