Halfway through
This week puts us halfway through this cycle of classes. I'm incredibly stressed between work and this school stuff. I also just setup my remaining schedule so I can get done 2 months earlier. I have to double up on two of my final three classes. That may end up being a lot of work. I really can't wait to be done with this.
Yesterday, I managed to speak to all my teammates. That was the first time in my MBA program that I've actually talked to another human being. It was great to talk to everyone and get to know them better. We're going to have a weekly chat so we can go over all the answers for the Handling Conflict exercises. The good news is that my team is very engaged so there's lots of communication in the forum. That should make this pretty easy. I'm confident that we'll get an A on our team projects.
I do think it's funny that we're basically all type A personalities. I'm pretty sure that if all four of us had to work in a group, we'd probably kill each other. However, for a project like this where we have space to do our own thing it's going to work perfectly. I wish I had this group for every class because it would be easy to have straight A's. There's a ton of work ethic in these folks. It's not often that I feel like the slacker. I'll take it for a change. Maybe I can lighten my load a bit for this class because I know my teammates will keep crushing it. I can probably give 95% on this and still have phenomenal results.
The book for this class is awesome. I don't plan on keeping many of my school books but this one is a keeper. It's like an instruction manual for life. I wonder why we don't teach things like this earlier. Couldn't high school kids really benefit from this? Or even undergrads? I'm not sure why we don't get to this until an MBA program. It's a giant missed opportunity. Kids should have a book like this. They should have to write papers conflict. They should have to think about it. It will make them better adults and maybe help them avoid some of the pitfalls of teenage life.
I posted a while back about my issues at work. I've decided I'm going to have to talk to my teammate. She's not willing to just come out and say things so I'm going to have to discuss it with her. I plan on framing the conversation around what she thinks I can do to help the situation. The fact of the matter is I'm just not happy in my role. I know I need to move on, but I can't do that until October of 2020 at the earliest. I need to find a way to make this work. Hopefully she'll be able to see something I can't.
I've got my own conflict between work/home/school. There's really nothing I can do about it. I've got to weather the storm until school is done. Then I've got to work through the work situation until I can move on there. My home life is awesome. I'm very lucky that my wife is so supportive of me. I know that I could not possibly do any of this if not for her.
