A Semester Later

Four months ago I predicted that I may be able to normalize my posting schedule. Apparently my skills as a forecaster are dubious at best. More pressing matters have consumed my attention; furthermore, the "MBA advice" aim of this blog has run its course. Everything I posted earlier on this blog contains the most pertinent material for those who are considering getting their MBA by traditional means. Therefore, my subsequent posts will focus more on just relating the balancing act that takes place during the closing months of the program.

That act includes my post-MBA career efforts and research, - in an economy as dubious as my commitment to this blog - my interest in the presidential race, my firstborn starting school, my current job, my class schedule, my self-directed education efforts and my brother's summer wedding. The takeaway is that the end is getting more difficult and compressed, not easier. Albeit, the classes I'm taking are much more attuned to my interests, so I am more eager to do the necessary work; however, that just adds more time spent for school.

I'm also finding my interest diverging and competition for my attention is increasing. This race is of particular interest to me and I find myself reading accounts on it instead of my bedside textbooks. Paired with the challenge of exploring new career opportunities in this suspect economy and my time is well allotted.

At the bottom of the list is this blog and the aforementioned reason in particular: this blog has served its purpose. There is no further reason for me to continue adding comments that add no relevant value to the reader or myself. If you stumble across this blog, I encourage you go back to the first handful of posts and glean the material there. The later posts are the Long Tail of this blog and only applicable to a small niche of readers.

With that, I promise to make one more post to this blog and will do so at the conclusion of my MBA program at SMU. I will wait a couple weeks, maybe a month after graduation, to make the post so I can internalize the whole episode; and the post will be geared at passing judgment on m experience through a traditional part-time MBA program, specifically at SMU.

So, until then.
