School’s Out!!

I say school’s out even if Captain Awesome just started his first day of school here in the States today. For me, three years, $36,000 later, I am finally done with my MBA program. I vividly remember the day that Chef and I sat down to discuss this. From the sacrifices that included me having to excuse myself during holidays and dinners to do some homework to the opportunities that this will bring. I thought the business realm was never my thing. But to be honest, I’m interested so much in personal finance, cost-efficiencies, and basically telling people what to do that I felt everything I learned can be applied on everything I do. I chose the Global Management specialization, which was not shocking given my inherent interests to different cultures. This specialization opened my eyes even more to the cultural differences that we witness everywhere, but, I also embraced them.

Now that school is out (at least the program, because I actually am starting my French classes tomorrow), I have a laundry list of projects to finish.

• Setting up the Loft – which I need to finish part of it as my friends are coming over to scrapbook on Monday.
• Finish my Paris, Seattle, Spain, and Manila Scrapbook
• Finish my Seattle, Spain, and Manila Photobook
• Selecting wedding pictures to send to Nelwin Uy for our wedding album
• Selecting the framed wedding picture
• Selecting the wedding pictures for canvas printing
• Framing artistic photos
• Starting my wedding Scrapbook
• Finishing our Paris video for my parents
• Finishing our house blessing video for my grandparents
• Finish reading one million books
• Finish decorating guest rooms
• Create personal theme with DreamWeaver
• Visit G in Japan
• Plan my parents’ trip of a lifetime
• …
• …
• …
• Life, pretty much

So apparently this list has become my to do list. So I’ll just finish them on my gmail task list. I have given myself a year off from school as I intend to go back again for another degree. But I’m a perennial student. There’s so much to learn. In this year off, I will spend more time in the kitchen and be more of a wife in that regard. I will learn how to use Dreamweaver, AI, and hopefully create the app that Chef and I envisioned. This is ridiculously exciting. I may have withdrawals from not having homework.

Woohoo!! Here’s to another accomplishment under my belt! I have an awesome husband who’s ever so patient. My God who always provides. My family who believes in things I can do. I am blessed. Oh, and by the way, that’s summa cum laude baby!!!

Now to use this… Hmmm… It’s time to build my empire.
