I didn't realize when we got back from Fall break, that I would be so happy to get back to CIMBA. We are working on an accelerated MBA program, so obviously we don't get out much. And it's because we stay in the same building for days and look at the same 20-35 faces day after day, that we easily get cabin fever. But like I said, I was very happy to get back to school and to my friends. And then i t was time to get down to business. (ha... get it? business at MBA school ...ha ha ha) I had to finish my Accounting Monopoly Assignment, study for my Accounting final, turn in the Statistics take home mid-term, and study for the Statistics final. I first went though the take home final to ... read more

Saturday, Oct. 25, 2008 The day before our 1 week Fall break and our official last day in statistics class was, by any accounts, a very long day. Like any other students, or even more so, we were ready for a “jail break.” Not to insinuate that CIMBA is like jail, it’s just … as in any school, with any class load, sometimes the students are in desperate need of a break. We listened intently on Dr. Ringleb’s lecture, chiming in at the proper moments. At the end of the day, we were asked to run a DA, a Decision Analysis in the KT method. This is when we are presented with a packet about a company and something isn’t working right. We are asked to split off into groups and solve the problem. Normally these ... read more

After starting off with morning Italian lessons for a week, we started MBA Business and Economic Statistics with Dr. Ringleb, the president of our college. He is a no nonsense kind of guy, very serious. Thankfully he's a very engaging professor. It had been leaked to us that we were going to be covering 450 pages of our textbook and our entire book note supplements in the next week. I had started reading 2 days earlier. I refused to fall behind. We have 8 hours a day of class followed by hours of homework and reading. On the first day of class, we were being lectured to and taking notes. I suddenly realized I needed to write down something key Dr. Ringleb had just said, so I looked down to write it, when I heard "MISS ... read more

Sept. 10 I took a taxi to the train station, then the train to CastelFranco, then a taxi to Asolo. When I was waiting at the taxi stand outside the train station in CastelFranco, I thought to myself "With my limited Italian, how in the world am I going to explain where CIMBA is?" Just then, a taxi arrived. He was loading my bags into the trunk when i said "A Asolo" While we were on the way, i decided i should probably try to explain. So i said "a la scola en Asolo. un collegio." (meaning: to the school in Asolo. a college.) Thinking "now i'm really going to have to explain this one," the driver exclaims "CIMBA?" To which i responded a very excited "si, si!' Awesome, he knows the school. The little white ... read more
