Rushing to Judgement

"Grad school is like drinking from a fire hose; the good part is, when you get to grad school, the fire hose is filled with beer."

With these words of sage wisdom, Michael Caplan, director of student services, closed out the end of the PMBA 2010 orientation session.  I hope that I am able to live up to the fun and hard work that this phrase implies.

Over the weekend I met my study group (great folks by the way) and learned more about the vast resources the SMU Cox School of Business offers its graduate students.  From talking to friends and family who attended other MBA programs (mostly full-time), its clear there's not much quite like this anywhere else, even at top Ivy League schools (much less anywhere else in D/FW). 

Another thing Mr. Caplan talked about was having "no regrets" about the PMBA experience - taking full advantage of all of the non-classwork offerings, from social programs to business leadership center seminars.  As one who is given to procrastinate from time to time, I really intend to push myself in this area and utilize the goodies I am paying a lot of money for!  I expect to be extremely busy for the next couple of years but I will try to keep blogging about ColdFusion related stuff as much as I can.  I have a couple of posts I need to finish out in the next week or two before classes start, but after that the pickings will get slimmer than ever.

Of course I will also periodically write stuff about my SMU PMBA experience and how that is going.  My first classes are financial accounting and managerial economics - I've taken accounting before in undergrad but I expect this will be a more challenging course, and managerial economics is all new to me - although I hear there's quite a bit of calculus involved (shudder).

I also just started using Facebook (I know I am way behind the times on this), so you can find me on there too.
