Officially Atenista

Yes! I am so back in my MBA after 20 months of delaying tactics to be able to save for it. Suddenly, I felt a pang of chill up my spine when I hang my school ID in my neck because I miss my original batchmates. And this year, they're graduating already.

Sigh.

I had goosebumps. I started questioning my decisions in the past. But heck! It was all said and done, the great thing is...I'm back on track. And I'm making sure I'll stay in the race...for real!

The last week of March was the start of classes. And last Saturday I attended the 'freshmen orientation'.*Just the sound of it made my blood rush to my cheeks*

It was a whole day of activities: with all the shiiibangz of film showing, MBA introduction, inspirational talks, group discussions, teambuilding acivities, learning, fun and laughter. Its finale was a mass..and it was so worth attending.

I have new friendships! And I know I made the right choice of school, the fit MBA course and the decision to enroll again!

This week was the second week of classses. I am now part of my second and third set of blockmates; which makes me legally 'an irregular student'. But I would never change my schedule to be 'regular-normal'.

Why?

One, your imaginary smart-fun-cool-approachable-respectable profs came to life. Two, I have a class with succesful-fun-fearless females who debate their views with our prof. And last but not the least, I ouldn't miss my other class with the goofiest executives, corporate lawyers, brockers, deans, marketing managers and engineers you've ever met!

I am here to learn. And having fun is an added value.

If learning is as dreamy and as happy as this...I don't want to wake-up from it. And I know the true test of learning is when you triumph through hardships, teamwork and collaboration..I'm so glad to be a part of it.


P.S. I finally got my grades..And being a dean lister during my last term was a bonus! *winks..* I thought they were kidding me!
