projects, semester, summer
I always feel like starting these updates like Jim Anchower from The Onion: "What's up, hombres? Been a long time since I rapped at ya."
I celebrated the end of the semester last weekend by relaxing at home while Kara was in and around NYC for a baby shower, and got some work done around the house. The garden is planted, new blinds are up in the study, and the motorcycle is up on Craigslist. Got a few prospective buyers, too. Now I just need to follow up.
Having Strategy and Project Management the same semester was a great mix. Strategy gives you the big picture while PM gives you the specifics, and you need a combination of the two for the best chance at overall success. You can have a great business strategy that makes tons of money but has lousy project management, and you can have projects that are organized and successful but make no money because they're the wrong projects in terms of strategy. Haven't gotten grades back yet, but I feel good about what I've learned.
So now I have a few weeks off, then back to school for a summer class in Financial Statement Analysis. Lots of 10-Ks and balance sheets. Should be fun.

So Mark, how much are you selling your motorcycle for? I think I might be in the market for some wheels.
Haha. Just kidding Dad.
