I just spent 2.5 hours writing (by hand, on notepaper) ten pages of essay answers for a marketing exam. Doesn't it seem silly to have an essay-based marketing exam? Is this preparation for when I present a business proposal to angel investors and they ask me to write an essay about it on the spot? Not likely.

Also, he didn't reserve the computer lab for us. Who takes exams by hand any more? I had a flashback that I was taking an exam in undergrad in the mid-90s, in the day of four-eighty-sixes.

My semester is done - what a relief! I am 75% done with my MBA.

Next semester I am taking courses on risk analysis and real estate. I am looking forward to learning about REITs. I want to invest in a commercial real estate REIT but don't feel confident about making a choice until I am better informed.

This week is my fourth week of a base building cycle so this week I can catch up on some other things. I am sore, so the rest and recovery will be good for me.
