Module II done, 6 more before graduation

Imagine a small child sitting in the corner of a cold, dark cell. Her knees are up to her chin, arms wrapper around her frail body and head buried deep into her knees. She's shivering and crying; her confidence destroyed. That's me at the end of mod II.

Alright, not destroyed but this was definitely challenging. Basically, everything I've never learned before was covered in this mod so I spent the entire time confused.

Classes:
Microeconomics - Utility maximization...er...ok. They did a great job of relating micro back to business, but it was tough. I'll be surprised if I pass this exam.
Strategy - The learnings were fascinating, but the professor kicked my ass in class! There was one day where I didn't do one part of the homework (no one did!) and he humiliated me for, literally, five minutes. Basically, he was using me as an example in class to get us to use our study groups, but this particular instance set me back in being comfortable with class participation.
Data Analysis - Finally, a class I can do well! Geez, data analysis was part of my roles for about 6 years before coming to school!...Not so fast. This class is actually stats. Great, another class that I'm green on.
Accounting - Just because one of my undergrad majors was originally accounting, doesn't mean I know anything in this class. Yet another reason to make me hate that accident tha wiped out my memory...
Finance - See "Accounting" above.
Law - This was interesting and everything is approached from the mindset that we need to understand the law from a managerial position. Besides understanding the law, it teaches us when to get a lawyer.
Ethics - Increasing in importance since Enron, Anderson, WorldCom, etc. scandals. Our law prof is also our ethics prof, and she's pretty funny. We actually combined law and ethics class several times (what's legal but not ethical, and what's ethical but not legal?).
Marketing - Woohoo! I've never had a single marketing course before, so I was looking forward to this. I loved our prof...great guy.

Exams:
Accounting/Strategy - This exam was combined but focused on accounting - 3 hours long - then move directly into a group exam...
Strategy/Law - This exam focused more on strategy. Our official study group got together and was given 36 hours to complete it. I heard horror stories from friends about their groups (fights that resulted in yelling, literally). We didn't have any problems like that, but I think we were tired of each other by the end.
Microeconomics/Marketing - If I failed any exams, it was this one. My first time learning both micro and mktg. I'll keep my fingers crossed but not hold my breath.

Other:
Alumni Mentor Program - This mod included the kickoff of our AMP. I met my mentor, who specializes in turnarounds, and was fascinated! I hope to spend more time with him in the coming months.
BCAP - Now known as BCRAP, our team spent days preparing and finally presenting our market analysis to our client and a panel of profs. My key takeaway? I'm afraid of professors (must work on this)...of course my strategy prof didn't help. At least our advisor (a prof) is really funny.
Writing/Speach Consultants - To help us improve our core capabilities, we had several sessions with writing and speech consultants. I wrote memos, reports and cover letters, and presented on Mr. Potatohead, The Muppets, and other lighthearted topics.
Study Groups - Can't forget the official study groups. While I studied with friends almost everyday, we were assigned study groups. This was another team designed to force us into learning and understanding the dynamics in a group. Togeher we completed several assignments, presentations and an exam.
My Birthday - If this isn't an offical Babson event, it should be. ;-)
