Welcome! You probably found your way over here from my flagship site, MBA Cutie. This blog is particularly directed at the Ross Day MBA Experience -- everything from classes to housing to anything else MBA, and specifically Ross, related.
This site will not include the stories and humor found at the original MBA Cutie blogsite. I plan to maintain all related MBA Cutie sites over the next two years, so please visit often!
Best wishes,

. Orientation Day 3: Management Assessment & Section Meeting]
We had our first section 4 meeting today at 8am. It was the first time we got to see the whole section in one place. Everyone has very diverse backgrounds. We have everything from Investment Bankers to Engineers to Medical Doctors! And from countries all over the world. The section meeting was basically to get a quick introduction to everyone in the class and then get details about the MBA Games, the Shout Off, and other various events that we have coming up. The section elections are a week from today... so we have to be ready to know what we want to run for, if we decide to run.
I spent part of today doing some research regarding the Zell Lurie Institute Wolverine Venture Fund. I guess they take on 8 MBA1's to sit on the advisory board every year. It sounds like fun and I am thinking about applying for it. We'll see how that goes.
The next session was our Management Assessment seminar. It turns out I am in the "blue" group -- or that my management style is more "market" vs. "clan", "adhocracy" or "heirarchy". Surprisingly, other people who filled out my assessment rated me "clan". I'm not really sure what to believe. I think I can be extremely competitive when I want something. Tomorrow my section has our first section-wide happy hour after orientation. Tonight, there is an MBA Bowling activity, but I don't plan to go to that.
I picked up my season tickets for the football games today from the Ticket Office. I also went to Briar Cove Mall and picked up my Football Season Student T-Shirt from the M-Den. The mall is nicer than I expected, but I doubt I'll spend much time there now that I have no incoming funds.
