"Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad that I'm no fool" -Billy Madison-

So as most of you know, I have decided to go back to school to get my Masters of Business Administration aka MBA (which a lot of the time when you first say it to someone they hear "NBA" and get confused and think I am going back to be a basketball star, clearly they haven't seen any of my attempts to play sports).

Anywho, last week was my first week and I was a little nervous considering I haven't been to school in 5 years. But as Jude (mother-in-law) said, it is like riding a bike, once you learn you never forget. Well all I can say about that analogy is after not riding a bike for several years you definitely aren't as good at it. Example, I used to be able to ride my dad's old ten-speed (you know the ones with the tires that are like an inch wide) without using my hands, and man I was good at it, I could turn corners and everything. Well I used to be really good at school too!

So the first class is what I expected, mostly just an introduction to the course, not too bad. The next class we jumped right into the lesson material, and the last class I didn't even realize the professor had started his lecture until he was like 30 minutes into it (nice one Ames!).

So here I was thinking that the first week wouldn't be too strenuous, but I was entirely wrong. I am only taking 6 credits and I already have 2 papers to write, 100 pages to read, and a case analysis in which my analysis will have to be written out for class, even if I don't have to turn it in. Oh and did I mention that the case study I read was like 30 pages (single spaced). OH MY BRAIN HURTS ALREADY!

I guess I am going for graduate degree, I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I was hoping the first week would at least ease me into it....OH NO!! maybe that was me being eased into it and it is just going to get worse!
