Memoirs of a "Former WEMBA" Student?

I have now successfully suffered through three final exams in two days to close out my first Term experience as a Fuqua WEMBA. How do I feel? Lousy and tired. If you asked me the same question yesterday, I probably would have answered "tired, but content." The difference? My two exams on Friday (Statistics and Managerial Effectiveness) were challenging but fair - the kind you step out of thinking "I actually learned something in that class." Today the daily special was Financial Accounting. And we are now talking potentially a wholesale dismantling of my dreams of MBA stardom. I don't mean to make excuses, but I truly believe that if I had spent time working over problem sets and old quizzes into the wee hours last week, I would have had a fair shot of getting by on the exam today. Instead, I was up into the wee hours last week reworking our business plan so that my father could have something to present to potential investors in Taiwan during his travel there this week. It was an unfortunate collusion of time and pace (too little time and not keeping pace with classes). Perhaps I will have to prematurely sign off this blog...or maybe the merciful god of partial credit will have pity and I will live to suffer another term. Stay tuned!
