I am hereby congratulating myself on reaching the half-way point of my MBA at Wake Forest Universty. I’m particularly proud of the A+ in finance I managed to get. I’m likely to get a B in marketing, my worst grade so far, but as I’ve struggled in that class more than the rest, I’ll take it. The important thing, of course, is that I’ve learned a great deal.

Now I have two weeks of no classes, and then on to year 2. Wish me luck

I’m a pretty smart person, but I couldn’t get an A+ in finance to save my life. My eyes would glaze over and I’d be doodling designs in my notebook. Fortunately, I can hire someone like you to advise me about this stuff!

You go!

Hey, good job! Now that you’ve passed the crest of Mount MBA, I hope you pick up speed as you race to the end. 😉

Thank you, I’m looking forward to the next year, as I hear it isn’t quite as frenetic a pace. For now though - time to relax. My first vacation in a year is next week.
