2013: The Triumphant Return

Amy does still exist. And she's been going fast and furious since the start of her MBA program, which apparently also makes her speak in the third person.

Yes, I'm back. It's funny -- when I started this blog, I thought it would be a great way to keep record of my MBA experiences and observations. I've hesitated to blog extensively about my program, because for me some of the most dynamic experiences have been working with the people in my program. And I am not ready to have a public conversation about such a small program, because dynamic means warts and all, and I still want to be friends with the people in my cohort :)

Prior to applying to MBA programs, I read Snapshots from Hell: The Making of an MBA by Peter Robinson (though my copy had a much more '90s-tastic cover design).


I imagined I would be able to chronicle my MBA career in a similar manner, but as classes picked up steam and I began to think about the implications of writing a similar "tell-all," I scrapped that idea. I guess there was a reason Robinson wrote his several years after the fact and made his characters amalgamations of his classmates.

But I still like a good story, and lately I've been full of them. 2013 not only marks the triumphant return of my blog, but also: Final MBA semester, MBA graduation, job search, a Portland summer with my husband, training for my first marathon (Portland Marathon in October!), my 30th birthday, and many other adventures that I cannot yet conceive. These are things that I want to chronicle and contribute to the broader blogsphere, so expect more regular posts. Let's go get 'em!
