200 Days of H - E - Double Hockey Sticks

We had our first class weekend since the break and I need sleep.  But there ain't no rest for the wicked.

Here's what is going on over the next little while:

• I am working on my take home "Individual Case Exam" for marketing.  Since I didn't realize that the Earl Grey tea in my cupboard was "free trade, organic" when I bought it, I must not be part of the target demographic for Nestle's Partners' Blend.  It's due tomorrow night.
• On the 17th, I need to submit a reflection paper on my entrepreneurship assessment.  If I asked you to complete an assessment, please get it in soon!  If I didn't ask you and you want to do one (it'll take about 10-15 mins), let me know!  If you have already sent it to me: Thank YOU!
• On the 18th, our team marketing paper on a B2B service is due.  I have two deliverables for it tonight and I think we have a Skype call on Wednesday.  And we'll have a round robin review (hmm -  new acronym:  RRR) on the weekend.  There's an email with all the details in my school inbox. I better look at it.
• On the 20th, I have to submit a memo and MS Project assignment.  My book from Chapters.Indigo (MS Project 2000 for Dummies) has not arrived yet...  I ordered it before Christmas, and was shipped when a few other books I ordered were shipped, so I am getting to be a little irritated.  The one copy the library has is booked for months, so not much help to me.
• And then, on Saturday, January 23rd (or whatever the date is on the Saturday), we start our Creativity and Innovation (C&I) session.  That goes for a whole week.  I am looking forward to it.  I think I'll be a bit of a turning point for me.  It'll be a lot of work.
• In between all that, I still have readings to do for the various courses that we will be taking during C&I.

They call the period from January through to the end of August "100 days of hell".  Well, my math doesn't work that way.  I see it as closer to 240 days.  It's a tough period because there are NO BREAKS.  We just go to school, go to work, do homework, submit assignments...  Someone in their infinite wisdom said we should take a break somewhere in there.  One of the guys on my team is going to Disney World the first week of February.  Another is going to Cuba in March.  I guess it helps that their employers are paying for their MBA studies.  And give them the time off work with pay.  I knew what my deal was when I started, but would like to have some time off from everything somewhere in there.  Someone suggested a Disney Cruise because they keep the kids busy so the parents can relax.  Something to think about.

Well, I must go and get some money to pay the cleaning lady and then pick up my chickies at Brownies.

Remind me to book a massage therapy treatment.  I can hardly move my neck.  Thanks.
