I found this old post from December 10, 2003, and it made me smile, remembering the college days and how very horrible I was at test-taking (and apparently at writing odes). I don’t know why I put it in the…

I read books like they are the last pieces of driftwood and I am drowning. They are my lifeline, inspiration, education, and friends. I learned to read before I went to school, my parents forming letters and words, using the…
Tomorrow morning I will walk with the other students of the classes of ’05 & ’06 in the commencement ceremony of the College of Business. I graduated in December but we only have one ceremony per year. It is very…
Finals upcoming. Next Thursday I will be done with college. Weird. DC conference was awesome…family, friends, etc. Music all over the place. I acquired a nasty cold on Sunday, but am fighting it with all of my strength. I keep…
Things can get repetitive in business…you hear the same terms, snazzy fads, and tired lingo over and over. In order to keep myself from going crazy while reading my finance, strategic orgs, and operations management texts, I decided to find…

Everyone has their own learning styles. And it also varies by topic. For instance, when I do research on something Baha’i Faith-related, I dive in, compile everything in a Word document, and then read over later. With business, I take…
Tomorrow is the first day of school. I am ambivalent. I have most of my books, all of my supplies, and my schedule is set. I just have to show up to class! The next few weeks will be flying…
For the next week, I am consumed by the Baha’i National Convention and Finals. I’m done next Wednesday at 5 pm, hurrah! But for serious, I have 10 pages to type tonight, so I’m going to get on that now….
I rode the train today, red line to roosevelt bus. I missed the Roosevelt stop, and ended up in Chinatown. Too immersed in my book, I did not mind the delay. I come home to discover a gift of chewy…
This is has been my view every day for the last four years. Today was beautiful. I took this while holding textbooks in one hand and a purse in the other, while wearing 3 inch heels. I’ve got mad skillz….
(Our school mascot. I don’t know what it is wearing.) I have realized that I may refer to my classes once in a while this semester, given that some of them are rather amusing (or rather, the professors are amusing)….
I ended the semester on December 10th, but didn’t find the need to write about it. I just checked my grades and I am very happy with them (yay!) so that is all there is to it. Home is good….
This is what has had me knocking my head against a wall for the last 2 months. (well, this and other similar problems) yikes! Truth tables!
Ok, so with 6 classes, one tends to get confused about which class one is in at any given time. I literally had to check my schedule halfway through one of them to find out the title of the course….
And I hit the ground running. 18 hours, 6 classes. I already have 6 chapters to read before Wednesday. I walked into my Philosophy 102 (Logic) class and discovered a couple of interesting facts. a) Neda is in my class,…
My search for an apartment has ended. Well, it ended last week but I honestly couldn’t bring myself to write about it until I was really sure everything would work out. It is very close to my school, the L,…
A piece of advice: never start a paper 4 days before it is due. Especially when it is 12-15 pages long. hmph. To take a break from pulling out my hair over how to compare 3 target companies when I’ve…
These children, in their beats there is somethin’ missing you know I’m listening a fragile kinship blossoming I’m not saying I know it all but this generation hit a wall I’ll stumble but I’ll never fall on my knees but…
