Tonight was the first ever ASCA Gala, I had a wonderful might catching up with old friends from Fordham GBA!

Post Grad Celebrations

 

I can't believe that I finally graduated from GRAD SCHOOL last night!  I can now say that I'm an MBA Grad at 22, how insane is that?  I'm not even 22 1/2 yet - lol. Last night was bitter sweet, it's nice to finally be done with school, but sad that school's over - for a while at least...

 The ceremony was held at Lincoln Center, and it was short and to the point, 1.5 hours max.  However it was not the same, no throwing of caps at the end :(  which I totally called the dean out on afterwards!

After the ceremony, GBA held a nice reception for us at our Lincoln Center campus.  It was actually really nice and OMG the chocolate strawberries!!! YUM!  Marianna ended up coming out to the reception and I bumped into BoMa as well as my many other GBA friends new and old! :)

After the reception, a bunch of us headed to the Hudson Hotel.  The first thing I heard is - the dean is sitting in between the two bushes and buying drinks!  SKETCHY right?  But alas, it wasn't apparently it was like mini section separated by trees lol.  But wow, I was drinking at the dean at the Hudson Hotel!  He bought us drinks and even offered me a job at GBA! :)

Great night, I'm going to miss you all!

First Day Back

Today was my first day back to Fordham for the Spring 2011 semester and my last semester of grad school!  It's so surreal - aside from the fact that i was in 95 degree weather just 2 days ago, but that I will officially be entering the real world as an MBA graduate in just a few months.

Today I was supposed to start my law/MBA class, but apparently that doesnt start til Jan 20th, so all of the MBA students showed up for no reason...  Oops...

My other 2 classes were pretty awesome, I think I'm going to like Thursdays!  I have Mr. Saharia for "IT Strategy & Management" followed by Travis Russ for "Communication for Entrepreneurs."  Let's hope the other two will be enjoyable as well.

This is the first semester in my entire Fordham career that I am taking less than 16 credits!

DONEEE for the Semester!!!

I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!

I handed in my final paper and gave my last presentation for the semester today!  Went to bed at 4 AM and woke up around 9 AM - not bad.  Livesey said the presentation was much better and that I had improved, so that was good, although the paper is very rambe-ly.  I'm so done I'm over it!

Now onto birthday celebrations tomorrow! :)

1st Day of Grad Classes

 Today was my first grad class  I was supposed to have 3 but 2 of them got cancelled.  Apparently my Management Systems teacher sprained his ankle running...

Today I had Contemporary Issues in Global Finance with Professor Lothian, who is a student of Milton Friedman.  He seems really cool so far.  The class is a bit intimidating though, everyone came in with nice pants, and button down shirts.  When we went around teh classroom to introduce ourselves, evetyone was like my name is _____ and I hve a real job... where as I do not...  The professor remembered that i was in the 5 year program and seemed cool though...  I wonder what next week will be like... But I will say I'm excited to take a step forward and see what grad school will bring!
