• Time Management

  I keep telling myself that I have to update this blog more often. One of these days, I’ll sit down and clean up my iTunes library, redo my skin for Xanga, and still have enough time to get all my other work done. The first three weeks of school have flown by, and it’s definitely a change from past education experiences. I have to spend about 50% of my time doing actual work. Homework, Case Studies, and lots of reading constitute most of the labor involved. The rest of the time is spend networking. This includes going to company events, professional speakers, mixers, and doing clubwork. Clubs here seem just as important as any coursework. The groups that get formed here are going to be the people you could potentially work with for the rest of our life. There are several groups of people from the ’06 and ’07 class that have started companies that were formed at Rady. This illustrates the importance of making good connections and making good friends.

  I have to thank my old manager at Concrete Games for suggesting that I not try to work and attend school at the same time. I think my experience would have been completely different if I was part of the Executive program. After talking with several people in the executive program last night at our regular Thursday Business Casual, I realized how important it was to make these great connections with peers which is extremely difficult if you’re working at the same time.

  Recently, I’ve been closing my posts with the hopes that I will be able to blog more regularly. I will also end this one the same way. I’ll do my best to set aside 15 minutes next week to blog!
