C-Dawg's Post M.B.A. Career Plans

"My post-M.B.A. plans cumulate to myself holding a C.E.O. position of a leading pharmaceutical company, on par with Bausch and Lomb or Johnson & Johnson, by the age of 46. I expect that with my knowledge accumulated at this fine institution, I'll climb rapidly through the ranks in the Business world. My past education, being a B.S. degree in Biology and three years of academic research on Alzheimer's Disease, have given me a wealth of knowledge in the inner working of the Biological sciences arena. As such, when complemented with an M.B.A. from a world renowned school I will be an unstoppable force focused on a single goal and armed with the ammunition to succeed."

Lesson In Brevity

While working on my Simon application essays, I received the following note in the mail:

"Melisa,
Thanks a lot for the money. I really appreciate it. Can't wait to bug you about being so short. Miss you.
Love,
xxxx" -written by my cousin who recently graduated from high school

It made me smile as I was trying to make my own sentences concise and clear.

And The Winner Is...

It was great to see that voter turnout was higher than anticipated. The winner is:
Choice #1: YAY!

This was an exciting race with a few unexpected turn of events. Due to a glitch in some voting machines, one vote was divided equally among all three nominees. An additional hopeful emerged, hoping to secure a place on the ballot as a write-in candidate.

The final results are listed below:
  • 61.90% : "YAY!"
  • 19.05% : "YEAAH!"
  • 19.05% : "YAAAH!"
  • 00.00%: "YEEHAW"
The formal concession was sent via iPhone at 10:49am.

Thank you to all who came out to vote. The polls are officially closed.

2 Simon Promises

While contemplating spreadsheet models and the wonders of Crystal Ball , two members of my study group and I made promises to each other:
  1. When we all get into the program, we are painting the town red. Clark is going to wear a suit; Jessica and I will fancy it up. The other group members will soon be informed of this plan. And they will love it. YAY!
  2. When we all graduate, we are going to spend a week in Marco Island painting the town with every color in the rainbow. Super YAY!
