For starters: This quarter’s exams were WAYYYYYYY harder than last quarter.
All that I have left (exam wise) is my MCV take home which is due tomorrow at 2:00. I’ve written up my paper and done all the exhibits but I worked on it for 9 hours today so I think it’s pretty crappy right now. Tomorrow morning will be spent editing and possibly rewriting if I wake up and realize that I could have written a better paper drunk… Hey, it’s happened before.
There’s also the case competition on Monday/Tuesday.
I’m really looking forward to the break, unfortunately my todo list has 8 items already. ugh.
Since I’m just relaxing right now watching stargate I’ll give you a quick recap of my feelings about various parts of the first 2 quarters.
Classes:
Very interesting in general. I’m already an order of magnitude better at assessing biz problems and understanding what’s important and what’s not. The bad part is that it’s probably still not good enough.
My favorite courses: Strategy (or what I like to call “Applied Economics”), FIT (interesting discussions), and Econ (so well taugh).
My least favorite courses: MCV (mainly because I didn’t like the structure of the course), Stats (for the same reason as MCV), and Accounting (because it’s so boring and the final exam was brutal 
).
Most motivating moment: Reading the 30 page Dell case for class and just picking out things that are important. Wow, I learned something!
Most demotivating moment: I’m going to cheat and give two—1. Having to redo the stats paper SO MANY TIMES. It was kind of our own fault but it was very demotivating; 2. Organizing a social event to find that almost no one is going. The main problem is that everyone is so busy but it still sucks to put a bunch of time into something only to have no one enjoy it.
Most stressful: The first 2 weeks of Q1 where you question if you can hack it or not.
What kept me sane: My 1 hour break every night to watch stargate
What I wish I did more of: Enjoyed Toronto and all it has to offer. I still feel like a visitor in this city since I’ve barely done anything other than school.
Ok, this stargate episode is over—Dannel Jackson just “died.” It’s just not the same without DJ
