I’ve promised to dissect my MBA experience at Goizueta Business School before and I thought publishing now, after graduation, made the most sense.

On May 15, 2006, two days shy of a full calendar year, I became a full-time MBA graduate from Emory’s Goizueta Business School. “Wait a second here,” you say. “Aren’t full time programs two years long?” Yes, normally they are two years long but I was a part of a fifty-four student program which compresses the entire MBA experience into one calendar year. As a side note, I met some of the new incoming students for the new one year class (they started the day after graduation just like we did last year).

I recently read about a new “service” of sorts - Valleyschwag. Interesting idea especially since people like me love to collect this stuff. Of course the stuff I have (Ask Jeeves shirts, PayPal pens, etc.) has personal/business significance to it rather than just being something I bought. I might sign up for this service once I figure out what I’m doing after school (2 weeks until graduation!) and see how good it is.
