First year orientation has started today, making me an "official" second year. I cannot believe the year has gone by so quickly. When your swamped with group work, exams, research papers, socials and lectures; time flies...FAST.
I reminisce on my year and visually bullet point everything I have gained. Besides the obvious, (knowledge and connections) I have gained a group of friends for life, bonded by numerous hours of perfecting every details on PP presentations and staying up until wee hours cramming for exams.
Last Sunday, I threw a baby shower for my dear friend/fellow MBA classmate/co-president for NAWMBA/OB partner for life, Tal. A dozen fellow classmates gathered in celebration of Tal becoming a baby mama! Then on Tuesday, I met up with my fellow leaders for NAWMBA (National Association for Women in MBA) trying to plan networking events for our club. And last night, a bunch of second years got together at Saddle Ranch on Sunset for some happy hour fun before school started. There's always events going on through out the school year in order for students to network and to get to know one another.
I cannot help but feel blessed to have such a great community at Pepperdine. When I signed up for B-school, it was mainly education, so the fact that I have developed life-long relationships is an added bonus. It's as if I can have my cake and eat it as well. And I must say... it's pretty sweet!
