One down, five to go.

So, I just finished my last final for this quarter. That final was in Turbo Finance (2 quarters of finance in one). How did it go, you ask? Bombed it.

I have to vent/reflect a little by stating that this quarter has been my hardest at NU. Not just because of the classes, but everything together. I have had some pretty bad quarters, academically. But they were usually balanced off by something else that I was doing that made it okay. Not really this quarter. Sure, there have been many things that I had fun doing. But this quarter is the one where I did the most work for the least benefit.

And I thought that business school was supposed to be easy. I can't think of a single thing that I've done this quarter that was easy. I hear that things will get better next quarter. I don't think they can get worse. But, then again, those were the famous last words of Pat Haney refering to my grades in '98 before he gave me a bid for LCA.

Well, it's done. All I have to do is look forward and start writing my cover letters, due this and next week. If you need me, I'll be at a bar. I'm reminded of the idiom "Drink 'til she's pretty." But, in this case, my grades are the object, so I would say, "Drink 'til it's a B."

If you are currently located at the bottom of a pint glass, I'll see you very soon.
