The End Is Near!

End times are near.

The end of my MBA, of course!  It’s with mixed feelings that I look at the calendar and see that in just two and a half months I’ll be graduating form NYU Stern with my degree.  Then I have about a month before beginning work–so there is time for me to take a little bit of a rest before the next phase in my life!

In the meantime, the MBA2s are starting to get involved with more and more activities on campus–especially as the weather improves.  Beer blasts (our Thursday night on-campus social get-togethers and weekend kickoffs) are getting more crowded; so are club happy hours and events near campus in the village.  Most exciting of all is that our student leadership has been planning a class-wide senior trip for our last weekend here in May; this year, they are leading a trip to Puerto Rico, and all MBA2s are welcome to join.

I have never been to Puerto Rico, so I’m looking forward to a cool new experience with my Stern friends–a  proper send off after two years of really great times (and a decent amount of homework).  The pictures of the city look beautiful:

Meanwhile, we also have spring break coming up–which is a week off in March.  It’s nice to have a few days to just relax in NYC–though some of my classmates are using the week to travel (I know someone going to Australia–pretty ambitious for just a week off)!

One of the great things about business school, if you couldn’t tell, is that there is a good amount of time off.  When we are in classes it is very busy, make no mistake–but having the “students’ schedule” is a huge benefit of the full-time program here.

Anyway, I guess it is best to travel now, as soon enough we’ll be working pretty long hours as we transition from full-time student to full-time employees.

But, you know, pay checks are good too.
