It’s the night before my first day of business school and I don’t know how to describe my feelings. Does “reluctant anticipation” make sense to anyone?
Don’t get me wrong... I am definitely excited about the start of classes. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time. Earning my MBA from Fisher College will provide me the business skills necessary to think both critically and strategically about leadership and management. What more could I ask, right?
Well, I am reluctant to begin this journey because for the first time in my life I am behind on schoolwork before classes have officially begun. You might be wondering, “How is it possible to be behind in something that hasn’t actually started?” Don’t worry; this is not some theoretical question. (Remember, my personality is ESTP… theories and conceptual problems bore me.) The answer is really quite simple: three out of my five classes have work due on the first day of class.
*MBA 800: Financial Accounting & Reporting
*MBA 812: Managerial Economics
MBA 825: Enhancing Professional Interchange
MBA 860: Organizational Behavior & Teamwork
*MBA 870: Data Analysis for Managers
The good news is that I am almost finished with my homework and I will be ready to dive into my MBA experience head first. Wish me luck.
