The first term of my MBA program is complete!  It's scary how quickly the last four months have flown by. This week was filled with final exams, half in person, half online. Monday: Microeconomics Tuesday: Corporate Finance Wednesday: Financial Reporting and Analysis (accounting) Thursday: Management Science (statistics) I'm embarrassed to say that I actually enjoyed sitting for the statistics exam, but it was fun to flex those muscles from undergrad. I feel confident that all exams were passed, and I am so grateful I finished the essays before this week as I am brain ded. Looking forward to traveling over the holiday and not having to think too much about school. It is properly cold now, there is no question that winter is here. The snow has not melted since Sunday, which has made it very difficult to walk on the pavement, it's totally just iced over. Haven't fallen, yet, but definitely have slid on the ice! Queens' looked lovely dressed in the snow though, and I&#

This week started off with our Cambridge Venture Project final presentation! I am soooo glad we decided to present on Monday because that gave us the rest of the week to study for finals. Study Group 16, AKA the Guardians of the Galaxy did great in the presentation (in my most humble opinion). It was neat to learn about the consulting process and an industry (banking) that I knew nothing about. When I say the rest of week was spent studying, I mean I lived in the Queens' graduate study space all week. Very grateful for the Armitage Room, and all the MBAs that have been in there all week as well. Saturday brought a fundraiser at the St. Pancras Hotel in London. It's absolutely a beautiful location, and a solid group of MBAs went to support one of Thomas's friends. Met some lovely non-MBA folks throughout the night as well. Such a fun end to the term and a nice break from studying too! Tonight I went to see Jack Whitehall with Chad and Tenaya - a funny show. After some last-m

What a week y'all. This week we had final review sessions for all our classes - super helpful! But we also had a little (lot) of fun.  [That means this blog post is mostly a photo dump, enjoy] Monday night ended with the Cambridge Union Ball. There was a big group of MBAs there, which always makes for a fun time. There was food, drinks, a silent disco, and a casino. What more could you want from a ball? Under suggestion, I wore my trainers instead of my heels, and it was definitely the wisest decision I've made in a while.

Go Tommy Go! Thursday brought with it another Ball, this time at St. Catherine's (Catz) College. What is it with this city and silent discos? Karl discovered

This week marked the official end of classes! yay!  We all look a little ragged at this point and I am definitely feeling the end-of-term blues.  To fight this, a nice group of ladies gathered for dinner on Tuesday. On Wednesday, there was a talent show in Judge. We have some very talented people in our class - lovely voices all around. Emily and I showed up to Judge accidentally matching in all-black with leather. We died of laughter and had a few classmates ask if it was a planned occurrence for the talent show! That night, the space crew went to London for a space industry night - I even ran into some SGAC friends, which was so lovely! Thursday was the last official day of class and also Thanksgiving! I'm not going to say Stream 2 is the best, but it's not not true... Taylor and Ian planned a beautiful Thanksgiving meal for the Americans et al at their neighborhood pub. This was my first Thanksgiving spent away from family. Turkey day is a big one for the Dubberts. I realize
