I received the last of my grades this morning, and all is well. For anyone that is nervous about entering business school without having a lot of experience, education or otherwise, should know that as long as you devote enough of your time and energy to learning the material, you will be fine. I am living proof. The fact that a program has let a person in is proof that they are intelligent enough to do well, then it is just up to how hard someone is willing to work to be successful. During orientation, my mentor said the key to doing well, even beyond prior experience, will be to manage your time well. She was right.
I have watched a bunch of movies over the past week of freedom I have had. One of the movies I watched was Apocalypse Now Redux. Wow. Easily, the best war movie I have ever seen, and probably, one of the best movies I have ever seen period. I totally recommend it to anyone whether they are a fan of such movies or not. I appreciate that some people may not want to sit through a 3 hour and 15 minute movie, so you would probably be alright with the original cut instead of the Redux edition. Before I watched the movie I knew the Redux edition had an additional 50 minutes worth of movie over the original, and as I watched it before reading about which scenes had been added, I was able to pick out about 45 of the 50 additional minutes that had been added. That's the thing about additional scenes, usually they are pretty easy to pick out, or to recognize why they were left out in the first place. But, if you are the kind of person that can watch a three hour movie, go for the Redux. In my researching after seeing the movie apparently there are a couple other editions of the movie that are like 4.5 and 6 hours long or something. That may be pushing it.
