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!

. Finals in Fall A, Mid-Sem Break, West Coast Forum]
Finals came and went. THANK GOD. I wish they could have gone a little bit sooner. Thankfully, my classes for Fall B don't have finals so stretched out. Finance was a disaster. I know I just didn't do well. I managed to pass the class, but who knows what mistakes I made on that final. Econ wasn't too bad, but I still don't have a grade in that class, so we'll see how that goes. In spite of my lackluster attention skills in Stats, I managed to get out of that class with a "good". The final was incredibly long. A lot of people said they didn't finish. I think because last year's stats final was considered "too easy" the profs tried to ramp it up this year. It was a little too ramped up IMO, but whatever. It's all curved anyway. Strategy was definitely the longest, coming in close to the 6 hour mark. I didn't really know how to study for that one, but I somehow got through it two hours early. Probably because I picked up the case early and started breaking it up into digestable pieces. We dont' get those grades until mid-November.
Because we're on the half-semester (essentially quarter) system, we have this one week off between Fall A and Fall B, called "mid-semester break". There are a variety of options available of what to do during break. I chose to go home to California and visit my family. The weather out there was incredible, and since I was in the bay area already, I could also go to the West Coast Forum, (more details at www.westcoastforum.org). I spent my days at home hanging out with my parents, and then the latter half of the week at the Sofitel in Redwood City, meeting with various recruiters and company representatives in the area to learn more about opportunities for internships in the bay area during the summer.
Now it's time to head back to school and everything else. I plan to attend an event this weekend in Chicago (yes, I know I'm missing the homecoming game) to learn more about opportunites for working with McKinsey in South America. I'm not sure I really want to work there, but it may be very worth it to at least get some more information.
Once school starts, and I find the other bloggers, I will be sure to link them here. If you are another Ross blogger, please email me at mbacutie1@yahoo.com. I will add you to my site.
