California Girl in an Indiana town NO MORE ;)
I am currently working on my MBA. The program requires ten classes. This semester I have three classes and will need to take four more in order to graduate. I want to complete my MBA by the end of this upcoming summer. It all hinged on if the classes I needed would be offered so I could take three in the Spring and one in the summer. I already knew that all four would be offered in the Spring and two would be offered in the Summer but my big fear was they would be offered all on the same day.
Well, I don't have to fear anymore! Class schedules for the Spring and Summer were posted online while I was in Maine. I will be taking three classes in the Spring (Decision Science, Economics, And Management) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. During the Summer, I will be taking Business Law on Mondays. Now, I just have to register for classes which won't be until November 3rd but I shouldn't have a problem getting in. Classes here are in no way impacted like they were at Northridge.
The only thing that threw a wrench in my plans was that the Summer class goes from May 8 - July 14. I had hoped to be able to start my new job on July 1st. I might still let July 1st be my last day at work at USI and then have two weeks to pack up and move to my new location as soon as I finish the final in my BLAW class on the 14th. Or I might work through the 14th and plan to start my new position on August 1st. We shall see how this plays out.
New job, you ask? I don't have one yet. Now that I know I will be able to graduate, I will be starting my job search process pretty soon. I am not worried that I won't be able to find a position. I will be looking for a position that either supervises people in my current position or that works with student activities (like the job I applied for in Oregon). Location wise - I don't want to stay in Southern Indiana or return to California (though I would be okay with some places like Irvine, Long Beach, etc.).
I will be working on the resume in November and will attend a job placement conference or two in March (like the one I went to in Wisconsin to get this job).
Keep your fingers crossed :)

(To quote Amanda) "I am" 'Uber!' "excited for you."
Alittle jealous about the extra intitals behind your name... but maybe someday I'll go back to the real world and get a degree. Ha! :)
Do keep me posted about your potentials, and search process!!!

Congrats on school, as one student to another-someday it will all be worth it!
