End of Second Five Weeks!

Now that Spring Break has ended and we’re back in class for the rest of the semester, I have found myself getting anxious for classes to end.  Although it certainly feels as though the semester is winding down, we still have one five weeks full of classes left to go! This week marks the end of our second five weeks and a second round of testing. Although I didn’t get as much work done over Spring Break as I should have the week off gave me plenty of time to relax to get back into work mode.

I can’t really believe how fast time has gone and in just a few months it will be a year since I began IMS. Coming into this program I had just graduated from college with a Bachelor’s in Biology. I knew very little about business and far less about healthcare administration that I would have imagined. I genuinely feel like I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge over the last year in a field that I previously may have overlooked. I came to this program for the healthcare component of the MBA, but have learned so much more. At times it’s been rough. I’ve felt overworked, more time crunched than ever, and tired. In some ways I think that’s part of learning. Becoming familiar with something entirely new and immersing yourself in it can definitely be a challenge. I sometimes think back to my first semester of college and the rude awakening I had about how time consuming lab courses were! In the end the hard work pays off though and also tends to remind me not to procrastinate! I know that I will continue to learn more during the next five weeks and during my last semester when I come back to Waco in the spring! In the mean time I am looking forward to all of the experiences and knowledge that I will gain during my residency this coming summer and fall.
