MBA

I did it. I signed up for classes back in December on the LAST day possible. I am now officially a college student again. This time, I am getting my MBA. I have to write an essay on why I want to get my degree as part of the application process.

I'm sure that I will come up with something that sounds good. But want to know the real reasons?

My company gives good tuition reimbusement.
I'm so bored with my current job.
All the people in management here are working on their MBA.
It's a good distraction.
I want to put MBA after my name to look more impressive.
You can only play so much Farmville.

So far its actually been a lot of fun. The first class I am taking is in marketing. I like marketing, its really just a bunch of common sense type stuff. Hopefully the next two years will go as well as this first class.

Blood Donation

Happy New Year!

I don't make resolutions at New Year because I think its silly to wait for a particular day on the calendar to make a change. You can make a resolution at any time.

This year I am resolving today, January 2nd that I will donate a pint of blood for Manic Mommy's 3rd Annual blood drive. Each pint saves 3 lives, and all it costs you is a little bit of time. Its a good cause, and donating blood makes you eligible for her raffle!
