After a stressful week filled with two mid-terms and two papers, I finally had the chance to relax and celebrate another eighth of my MBA career completed!  Just so you know the tough week I had, let me fill you in:

Monday:  Nonprofit Management paper due
Tuesday:  Managerial Accounting mid-term and paper due
Wednesday:  Financial Statement Analysis mid-term
Thursday:  Two case assignments

Don’t worry though; school isn’t all work and no play.  The silver lining to mid-terms week:

Friday:  New Kids on the Block Concert in San Antonio

Yes, that’s right folks; we’re talking about going back in time to 1993.  Nine of my classmates and I bought tickets to the concert and rented a limo to travel to San Antonio.  Talk about a great way to blow off steam.  As you might guess, the arena was filled with women reliving their teeny bopper years and it was so much fun! 

I’ve made some awesome friends at McCombs, and I’m glad that none of us take ourselves too seriously.  Getting creative with our free time is what makes all of this worth it (and keeps you motivated for finals).  Through the tough weeks and the fun nights, we’ll make it through this year one step at a time.
