One week down, Happy New Year

One week of b-school down, and it's not too bad. The classes are small and the professors seem relaxed and professional. My fellow students are friendlier than I expected, a much warmer attitude than the Canuckistanis. I ended up testing out of intro accounting by the grace of the MBA school manager and a last minute cram session, so I will start with financial accounting today and more or less resume where I left off in Toronto. I currently have a very "grad-school" schedule with 7 hours of class on Tuesdays, 3 on Wednesdays, and 2 on Fridays. I can now begin to apply for part-time jobs, yyaaaaaayyyyyy........

One possibly fortuitous event occurred on Friday, when I walked into class 25 minutes early and witnessed the school A/V/IT people troubleshooting a rack of electronics. Since I am Mr. Smarty, I immediately butted in and inquired as to what exactly they were doing with the equipment my former company BBI may or may not have installed. We discussed A/V geek stuff for a bit and they suggested that I send in a resume.

Why it's a Happy New Year: 2007 is a really mixed bag so far. One mysterious death in the family, one dear family pet euthanized, one motorcycle (symbol of freedom) relinquished and one tiny, cold apartment. On the other hand, new fun school and program, healthiness and daily yoga, possible job, new gas stove (replaced the rusty, leaking antique from Before My Time). I don't hold much with "deaths happening in threes" thing but the thought keeps popping up intermittently. Maybe I should look at it as "new stoves happen in threes". Yeah.
