Yesterday, I completed my final course at WGU in my MBA degree. Now, all I have left is a capstone which I will start on Tuesday. My brain needs a day off after two months of pounding out an economics class. Today, I will celebrate with Niko by getting shakes and Chinese food. I am…

Yesterday, I completed my 9th course at WGU and tomorrow, I will start my final course. I am taking today off to give my brain a very short break. I do have a written capstone remaining after my last course. After that capstone, I will be done and I will have a MBA! My term…

On Sunday, I start my final term at Western Governors University for my MBA. I have two courses and the final capstone written project remaining. I am planning to be finished by March. When my first term started on November 1st of last year, Niko stopped taking naps around that time and I was planning…

On Sunday, I completed my 8th class for my MBA at WGU. My next and final term starts on 11/1/2020, so it will be nice to have some time off. I am taking my final seven days of vacation from work, so it will be nice to be off and not have to worry about…

Yesterday, I completed my 7th class at Western Governors University in my MBA degree. It was the hardest class so far and I am very relieved to be finished with it. I am giving my brain a night off tonight and will start my 8th class tomorrow. It’s funny, because when I started last November,…

Yesterday, I completed my 5th class at Western Governors University for my MBA. That means, I am halfway done! Five more and a capstone. My first term started last November and that was right around the time that Niko stopped taking naps. I was planning on doing schoolwork during his naps on the weekends as…

Last Tuesday, I finished my 4th class in my first term for my MBA at WGU. My next term starts on May 1, so I have a few weeks off from school to relax, write, and read books. I need a little break. The book I am reading now is the biography of Steve Jobs…

On Friday, I completed my third class in my MBA at Western Governors University. it was Management Communication and I really enjoyed the material; so much, that I purchased the book as a PDF. It was slow going for me when it came to working the assignments; mainly because Nina had surgery on January 29…

When you plan something a month in advance and you finish it on time. That was the case for my 2nd class in my MBA.  I am proud of myself because I am motivated to be successful in my studies and have enjoyed learning new things that will help me down the road.   Yes, it’s…

I started my MBA at WGU on 11/1 and I am proud to say, my first class is done! It was a lot of work and during the 2nd week when Nina had surgery and Niko got sick, I was a bit overwhelmed and really wanted to quit, but I stuck with it; with the…

After Nina had her surgery on November 9th, I took the following week off to help her and take care of Niko. It was a lot of work; mainly because Niko got sick later on that week and two days that week, he woke up at 4:30 am. Yes, I was overwhelmed with everything and…

Overwhelmed because all of this past week, I have been taking care of Niko.  I took the week off since Nina had surgery on the 9th; she is doing really good in her recovery.  Throw in a sick child since Wednesday; it’s probably just a cold…coughing, runny nose, and sneezing.  On Wednesday and Saturday, Niko…

It was a weekend of firsts. On Thursday, it was Halloween and it was also Niko’s first time trick-or-treating. It was our first time living in a real neighborhood with other people around us who also have children.  Niko really enjoyed walking around, seeing other kids getting candy, knocking on doors, and looking in garages as…

Last Tuesday, I was finally able to start my orientation at WGU and I was excited. I made myself a really comfortable spot on the sofa, had food, had water, my Acer Chromebook, and a plush laptop pillow. From where I was perched, I had a great view of lightening from a thunderstorm that eventually…

I have been contemplating getting a higher degree for a long time and just within the past few weeks, I have decided to make it a reality. At first, it was Sports Management, then Journalism, then Accounting, and finally an MBA. So, on November 1, I will start my MBA at Western Governors University. Right…
