So I had a heck of a weekend from a schoolwork point of view. As was mentioned previously, I’m involved in a lot of school activities. Friday we had a “leadership retreat” at the Tilikum Retreat Center where we (those of us who are involved in various committees) got together out of cell service range for meetings on events for the upcoming year, basketball games, and canoing. That was a lot of fun.
Saturday I was also involved in MBA Preview Day here at Willamette. I got a chance to meet some prospective students and talk to them about the MBA program here (without spilling the secret of the wretchedly uncomfortable room that all first-years spend their time in) and got a free lunch out of it.
The rest of the weekend was spent on homework. Friday night, the rest of Saturday, and almost all day Sunday was on homework. We had to do a case write-up for our strategy class where we look at Dell’s entry into the China and write various strategic recommendations and we also had a case to do for our finance class where we looked at the benefits of international portfolio diversification from a return and volatility standpoint. That one took like 20 hours this weekend, and it’s not like I just started working on it.
So aside from the two events I participated in, I set foot outside my apartment like twice this weekend. Lots of work!
