We're back! New classes and catching up are in order.
Happy New Year! It has been wonderful to catch up with friends and get back into a routine. When I walked into my first class on Tuesday, I was faced with the usual dilemma of where to sit. However, this was not the usual “I don’t know where to sit because this is a new class” feeling- this was a “I don’t know where to sit because I want to sit by and catch up with everyone” feeling! What a great problem to have! There was so much excitement in the room as we chatted about our breaks and said how excited we were to see each other.
After class, there were groups of people that stood around and continued to catch up. We were in no hurry to leave, since we had almost a month of things to talk about! Just a few hours later, the Graduate Programs Office had coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies in the study lounge to welcome us back for winter quarter. This was another time of excited chatting!
I am taking two accounting classes with MAcc friends (Foundations of Accounting and Fraud Examination), an MBA class (Services Marketing), and Economic Analysis of Health Services through the College of Public Health (which I petitioned to get to count for my degree, since I will be working on healthcare clients after graduation). I am very excited about my classes this quarter!
