diploma

I got my diploma from Tiffin University in the mail yesterday. It was a very exciting thing! I know, I know. I'm 51 and many, many others have walked this path before me. But, I cannot believe that I am actually done.

Well, done with that part, as I started working on my MBA two Saturdays ago. Three classes a week: Friday evenings (Finance), two on Saturdays (HR & Marketing). It is a lovely schedule. Last night I was so excited about it, I finished filling out all the school forms for my 12 year old and was in bed by 9:00 p.m. Of course, the first time I looked at the clock this morning was at 3:12.

Did I ever mention how much I hate exams? I hate exams. I just get stupid or suffer from serious memory loss as soon as I get the exam in front of me. I have an exam Saturday in HR management. It is an essay which should be okay as I can usually BS my through just about anything but we will see. The second day of class, this same professor gave us an exam and as I missed the first class, she wasn't sure how I would do. I ended up with a 91 out of 100 (changed one answer which would have been correct except that I changed it . . . duh!). The class median was 87.4, so I did better than I (and Dr. H) thought I would do. Some people were writing "books" for the three essay questions. Dr. H had given us three pages and I only used one. I did get 25 out 25 on the essay questions so am hoping for the best on this week's exam.

Ah well, I need to get off to finish all my school work before my work day begins.
