Random B_School Thoughts

Hello All!  It's been a while since I've posted an update.  Since I have some free time right now, I figured that now is as good as time as any to do so.  I'm actually watching the MTV Video Music awards right now and there's a commericla, so why not?

So life in business school is incredible!  All I've been doing lately is studying, going to class, and drinking.  A LOT of drinking!  I knew coming into it that sure, my classmates and I would do a lot of drinking, BUT I had no idea that it was THIS much.

But aside from all that I would like to say that things are beginning to pick up.  I've already been through a week of classes and have already had a Marketing quiz.  I have an Economics quiz tomorrow....Accounting quiz on Tuesday... and an Economics paper due on Friday.

On another note, I just looked at one of my blog posts from August 28th (today) LAST YEAR and it was about an MBA Application Readiness.  (http://money9111.blogspot.com/2010/08/mba-application-readiness.html)

I would like to address a quote from the last paragraph that I wrote - "At this point I'm in this for the long run.  I realize that the next 6 months, will determine the rest of my life.  If I cannot continue to sacrifice and see this process through to fruition then THAT'S when I don't belong in business school.  But for now... I'm In!  I'm All In!  and THAT is all she wrote folks!"


I'm glad I was able to realize how important the application process would be for me.  It is not a joke and I can fully atest to it not being a joke now that I'm in business school.  There IS  science to the application process and once one figures out what that is, then one will get into A business school.  Should anyone have specific questions, please feel free to email me at richardbattlebaxter@gmail.com.  The I find it unfortunate when people don't fully grasp the application process and then ultimately get declined as a result.  This is why I try to talk to as many people as possible to shed light on the process that can be a black hole.


Also, the last time I made a blog post, I offered to review essays for any school.  I had one person email me and I've given her feedback on an essay twice.  I'm usually pretty quick about the feedback, so if anyone out there wants a second pair of eyes on an essay just shoot me an email.


I'm being pretty vague on here about my experience here at Johnson, because I'm waiting for something to get completed.  Then I'll be able to continue and give some more insight.  That's why there is no structure to my latest blog posts...
