The year begins January 2
Well 2008 is here and next time this year I will have lived through KWEST, CIM, and my first fall at Kellogg. I know some of you are ready to turn in 2nd round applications (don’t forget to make sure your recommender’s have handed in their part!) - so to all of you may the next two weeks seem like a time freeze so you can finish editing and re-reading and adjusting your essays. I think that the Chicago GSB power point slides will be interesting to look at once some sneak out online…
Well I will be taking a quant class here in the spring, and apart from that I am still busy trying to clean up the basement ahead of moving down to Evanston. I’m going to try to put together the FAFSA as soon as possible, but getting tax forms is always a struggle. I am also looking at some summer opportunities that might even have a community service aspect. Oh and yes I have been checking out some class requirements, but for the most part things won;t really start rolling till after DAK.
Last thing - I was watching the Iconoclasts show on Sundance the other day and it was very interesting to see how Norman Lear (I admit I did not grow up with his tv shows) and Howard Schultz (sbux whiz) became friends and in disparate arenas managed to influence life beyond the narrow roles we would normally give them. Norman bought the U.S. Constitution and took it on tour to encourage voting. Howard was a pioneer in health care for part-time employees, as well as ownership stakes. Anyways, not totally related to mba - except that meeting people from different arenas and learning from them IS really one of the top expectations and hopes that I have for my 2008-2010 journey.
