of cabbages and kings...
Hokay, so. Classes have started up again, and I'm currently in my LAST required class for my MBA, holy crap. I'm taking a second class in Fall II because I want to, but after that I WILL HAVE GRADUATED.
Ironically, I think this class will be the one I actually find remotely useful. It's called "Strategic Management" and it's basically a Capstone course. We're also doing a program called "Capsim," which is a ... game, I guess, and our team competes with other Capsim teams from colleges around the world. Our prof has already told us he expects us to rank in the top ten at the end of the game. (This is out of hundreds and hundreds of teams and oh god.)
So, our team consists of five people, and I am in charge of Marketing.
And if last night's class is any indication... I don't suck at Marketing. This is a refreshing, reassuring realization.
Our term paper for the class is supposed to be a personal strategy on where we want to be in five years and how best to achieve that. I have decided I'm going to apply the tea shop to the task and see if it's a realistic expectation for a tea shop to be turning a profit in five years. This will probably help me decide if it'll be worth the financial risk, since THAT is what's keeping me from getting on the ball and doing a business plan and all that jazz.
I've also started rewriting UT. Again. Sigh. BUT I intend to work on the drabble meme I posted MONTHS ago, so yay!
And now it's time to walk zee dog, who has completely recovered from his tummyache on Sunday. I'm starting to wonder if he was experiencing a sympathy hangover. ;)
