    Journey to my MBA

    The plan and class update

    Two days ago I found out that I got an A in my Molecular Biology class. I was quite stoked. As I had received a B on the midterm, I knew I had some ground to make up. This class drew from Organic Chemistry, Genetics and Biochemistry and going into the class, I was shaking in my boots thinking that the students in the class were just going to kick my tail and send me running. I told my wife that I would show these youngsters that an older guy nearly twice their age still ad a brain.

    I was glad to have done the review for the 20 students. I've heard from 70% of them now and am excited about how well so many did. My review group received nearly 30% of all the A's in the class. There were 2 B+'s 4 B's and a couple of C+'s.

    So my plan over the next couple of months are as follows
    1) Revise my resume and create 3-4 different versions to highlight my managerial, Project Managerial, IT Director and Program Manager aspects of background. I plan on creating 4 different Monster.com and hotjobs.com profiles to accomodate each resume flavor. Because of my background, the turn around time to pick up a job takes 1-3 months usually.

    2) Finalize my Business App strategy this week.

    3) GMAT prep. I'm planning on taking the test in the 1st of 2nd week of November.

    Aregon did a great job of additional detail to the HBS info session we attended last night.

    Harvard Info Session

    Went to the Harvard Info Session today. I liked it. I'll do my best to describe the information and the experience. The info session was held at Intuit Corporation. The CEO, Steve Cook is an HBS alumni so it was good to see how the alumni support the school.

    The presenter was Alicent McCarty (Assistant Director of admissions at HBS). There were 5 alumni in the panel. All recent grads within the last year or two. She did a non-question PowerPoint presentation followed by a video and then the student panel was brought up to answer questions. Alicent moderated the questions. It was good to hear that she went through HBS herself.

    After checking into the registration table and picking up my name tag, I walked into a room with seating capacity of 90 seats. The room ended up filled to about 100% capacity. The first thing I noticed was the dual projector setup with the Harvard Logo with the words Ve-Ri-Tas on the shield logo. I decided to look up the word and found that it means "truth" in Latin. The founder of Harvard actually had a more specific meaning of the word from the Christian roots of the school to mean "divine truth".

    I was a bit surprised to find absolutely no hand outs or brochures. Alicent later said that this is because HBS is now completely paperless in its application process and brochures. Everything is available on their web site.

    The people in the room was of interest to me. I saw about 90 people. There were only 7 women. The room was about 45% Asian (not- including Indian) and 20% Indians. So the room was about 35% caucasian. Every woman was Asian by the way.

    There were sodas and large cookies and deserts which was very thoughtful for people coming from work. Big kudos to Harvard on this.

    So Alicent started with the PowerPoint presentation in a thorough and thoughtful way. It was clear that she did the presentation with her experience of questions that she had fielded before in here presentation. The mission statement of HBS can be summarized as "Developing/Educating outstanding leaders who contribute to the well-being of society" It was mentioned that HBS does not create leaders, but develops leaders who are on their journey to greater things.

    A key phrase that came up all the time was "Transformational Leadership". The learning experience at HBS is based around four key aspects.
    1) General Management Perspective which they believe is a broad scope way to create the most well rounded leaders. Alicent mentioned how becoming a good "listener" is key. This aspect of the school is probably one of two highlights that makes HBS unique.
    2) The sections. There are 900 students who are broken up into 10 sections of 90 students each. They all take the same class, but in 10 different classrooms. What Alicent may not have realized was that the room we were in fit 90 people. I looked around the room and was able to visualize how a group that size would be my closest classmates for a year.
    3) Case Method. The 1st year is primarily case method and the second year is about 80% case method.
    4) Passion for teaching by the Profs.

    HBS recommends that everyone join study groups. This helps with having some classmates check your ideas and strengthen your reasoning by poking holes when going over case studies together. 50 % of the grades are based on class participation. Tests are open book. The classes are Pass/Fail and students are rated 1,2,3. 1 is great, 3 is poor and most everone gets a 2. Getting 1's are a key to scholarships and for interviews as all 1 students are usually interviewed by companies first. The number one skill that every student says is hard to manage is time and priority management. Apparently, there is way too much stuff to get involved in. From social life to activities. Later several alumni mentioned how it was important to plan what to get involved with early on and to learn to say no to what you don't have time for.

    The diversity of the student body is as follows: 34 % Women, 22% minority, 32% international. This diversity is important because 30% of the case studies are from outside the U.S.

    There are over 80 clubs. Many of the clubs are saught out by the faculty to provide feedback about how things could be improved in the school. There are 65,000 living alumni and 7,000 are in California.

    Career development is done through
    1) Self Assessment. The assessment is called "Career Leader". It's intent is to help show career direction suggestions.
    2) Coaching - There are numerous Alumni who have volunteered to coach students.
    3) Career Teams-These are student lead groups that help individuals stay on track with their career focus or to get a clear direction in where they want to go.

    There are a large number of Marketing and Corporate Partners. Alicent also mentioned that there were 1500 jobs in the job bank this year. 30% of them were for International positions.

    After the PowerPoint, Alicent showed us a 10 minute video on the school that was well done and with a few statements from the Dean. I didn't find the video over the top or cheesy at all.

    Admissions Points
    The key things they look for are
    1) Academic ability - If they don't see finance or accounting classes in your background they'll recommend that you take them and depending on certain experiences, they will either recommend or require taking a 2 week analytics course at HBS before school begins.
    2) Leadership Exp - Alicent mentioned that they are not just looking for people who are already clearly leaders, but also people who have a keen interest or untapped leadership slant. This is the second biggest highlight that I thought makes HBS unique. Where other schools may emphasize academics or teamwork, HBS focuses on leadership.
    3) Personal Qualities.

    About Essays
    One of the Alumni near the latter 1/2 of the session mentioned how it was very important to find your story of how HBS fits into ones leadership Journey. So, some Indian fellow asked about community volunteer work. The entire panel agreed that 1) The volunteer work better seem like a natural extension of the person's story 2) They'll be able to see real quick if it's insincere and kind of a random thing the person does with no real ties into the person's overall story. So for example, if volunteer work is absent in college/work after college and is only seen as something done in the last 6 months to 1 year which is unrelated to career path, then this may be a red flag of insincere volunteer work.

    Another good point by one of the Alumni was to make sure not to overdo it on the essays about ones leadership background. Basically, if you make yourself look like a great leader, then the question the reviewer asks is, "Then how can HBS help you if you've already got it that together". In other words, it's important to show how HBS is important to the Journey of Leadership in Business.

    With regards to letters of recommendation. They said to not bother with academic recommondations. The transcipt will already show what they need to know for academics in their view.

    Financing the MBA
    They have a need-blind guideline. Where financing is only looked after acceptance and not before. They have a guaranteed funding policy that mandates all students will be able to get complete funding to finish school. This goes for whether they really need the loan or not. 70% of all students receive some form of financial aid. The loans are underwritten by HBS. There are fellowships available of up to $20,000.

    My conclusions.
    The panel was full of sharp well spoken individuals. I was impressed with them. The presentation was thorough and the question of what makes Harvard unique was clearly answered in my mind. I was able to ask about internships, how exams were done in a case study class. The panel was candid and were even open in answering questions about the reputation of Harvard grads that are sometimes negative. The school is highly leadership focused and wants to find people who will make a difference. HBS is DEFINITLY a school that fits who I am. HBS really did a good job.

    On my way out, I had to ask one last question of Alicent. I asked her if she follows Blogs or B-week forums. She replied that she did not and said that she thought they were a good idea. That was interesting, I thought a person in her position might be following the forums somewhat.

    I ran into Aregon and Depak at the session. It was actually very funny because when the session was over, these two guys standing in the middle of the room were starting straight at me and kept staring. I walked over and asked, "so should I know you guys?" -Thinking it was probably them and they said of course.. "It's us!" We talked for a couple of hours in the parking lot afterwards. It was interesting to get to know them. They are both different from one another. They are so on the ball with the apps. I want to see them get into their desired program.

    Over the next week and a half, there are so many more Info sessions to go to. In my area, So far, I have plans for the following
    Michigan 10/14
    Wharton 10/6
    Columbia 10/8
    HAAS 10/14
    MIT 10/14
    Stanford 10/1
    Tuck 10/7
    Darden ?
    Kellogg ?
    Notice how HAAS, MIT and Michigan are on the same day? I have some decisions to make about going to the San Francisco ones instead of the Silicon Valley ones for the ones that conflict if at all possible.

    Back in Northern Cal-revised

    I've added additional details to more clearly detail bits of my mother's story and how it relates to me.-Dave

    Not much to report other than I've driven back home now. Drove back home on Friday. Feels good to be home now. Time for resumes and Business app work now. After taking the weekend to spend time with my wife, I can get back on the horse and move forward again.

    On a reflective note, I saw a movie several days before I drove home called TAE GUIK GI: THE BROTHERHOOD OF WAR. It's an import movie from Korea that was an incredibly moving movie. I think everyone should watch it, but especially if you're of Asian descent.

    The movie is about a family caught in the midst of the Korean War in 1951. Two sons are forced to join the war for the South. What happens next is the story of how they change as a result of the bitter hatred between the two sides and how their relationship changes as a result. The backdrop is the brutality and explosiveness of the Korean war that rivaled much of what I saw in Saving Private Ryan. The special effects were great.

    So why am I mentioning this movie? Well, because this war forever changed my life. In 1951, a North Korean Artillery shell hit my mother's home and killed my mothers 5 sisters and her mother. Her father later died of what we surmise to be cancer and pneuomia which came on as a result of his weakened health.

    My mother was orphaned and was eventually adopted by her Church pastor. Whom I now call my Grandfather and his wife, my grandmother. In recent research, I found that my mother's family was killed in the first wave of the North Korean invasion. The South along with the General MacArthur led U.S. forces came back and beat back the North Koreans. In the midst of the chaos however, my mother was initally taken to the ad hoc local orphanage formed. In a second push by the North Koreans, they came back through Seoul and this time were pissed. They slaughtered many of the locals.

    Before the second onslaught, my grandparents found my mother and took her away to the southern tip of Korea. You see, my grandparents had to run because one of the target people being killed were pastors. The North hated pastors so much. Stories were rampant on the torture of pastors. For example, they were forcing the issue of faith by forcing them to walk barefoot across 20 feet of broken glass. There were many more stories of what happened after that. One story is where my mother recalls being thrown onto the top of an already overloaded train of people and peoples belongings. She was strapped down by rope on the roof so as not to fall off while the train sped down the tracks at 60mph. How scary it must have been.

    My mother and grandparents met on an island off the coast of South Korea called JeJudo. There they hid for about a year. In the second onslaught by the North Koreans, I found out that the orphanage my mother was at was destroyed and all the children and support staff were killed brutally by angry North Korean forces. It is generally known that the North did this because they were thinking that these children would grow up to fight one day.

    Despite the shared tragedy of the South Korean people, orphans were never looked upon in a positive light. My mother was made fun of and ridiculed by neighborhood kids and even the cruel cousins of her newly adopted family. There are currently no known geneology roots of my mother's real family. Nor do we know her true B-day.

    Years after the war, my grandparents congregation members were able to pull enough money together to send my my mother and grandparents to Los Angeles.

    My mother endured much growing up and I believe God gave her a chance at life. My mother's personality is lovingly strong. She's also so open and a great conversalationist. Growing up, my mother totally spoiled us and I never knew why until years later. Both my parents always encouraged me (not pushed) to always make the best of what I got.

    This became especially true of the number of schools that I went to. I attended 4 elementary schools, 2 junior high schools and 4 high schools. These moves were caused by my parents continued growth in their businesses of which I worked a lot at and learned at an early age how to deal with customers and manage a business.

    My moms heart for people has always led me to be a person who comes along side others and walk together with them. The caveat here though is that I generally only find myself doing this with people who show a lot of promise and drivenness.

    I attest that my mother's life as a large influence in my leadership and desire to make a difference with my life. I'm constantly driven to be the best I can be at whatever I do. And because of all the moving and my parents modeling of preserverance I've learned to be very comfortable in a variety of situations

    So I guess you can imagine that as I watched this movie, that I needed quite a few Kleenex at hand. I thought the movie was going to be cheesy and emotionally manipulative. It was a bit, but stayed sincere to a reasonable plot.

    I hope someday to perform some more family interviews and to write a reasonable document on what my family went through.

    Ok, now to bed and to prepare for a productive day tommorrow.

    Application Deadline Edit

    I just performed an audit of all listed deadlines on the right of this web site to verify that all the dates are correct. I found a few minor adjustments, but nothing huge and no changes to any of the R1 deadlines for any school except for Berkeley which was listed 10 days earlier than it should have been.

    I suggest you double check your prospective school dates with the audited list with what your records show. Honestly though it seems like some schools changed their dates by a couple of days when they moved from e-mail private announcement to me versus what they published on their web sites.

    All the links associated with each listed deadline will take you directly to the web page with the deadlines in most cases where the school allows one to create a hyperlink to that particular page.

    My sincereest apologies for the errors and for the unneccessary anxiety this may have caused any of you.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY, the dates shown are for U.S. applicants! R3 dates for some schools have different dates for International applicants. If you are an international applicant, please do your homework by going to the prospective links yourself to review the dates. A majority of schools don't have seperate International and U.S. dates, but Darden for example has one date different and I did list that, but I recall some schools did and I didn't list them.

    Getting a breather, but staying in the game

    I feel like a quarterback who is taking a break during a game timeout. Although the break is good, it's got quite a bit of anxiousness, excitement and planning/reassessment involved before I get back into the game. I've made the rounds in the area to visit quite a few friends over lunches and dinners. It's so good to spend time with them again.

    I've been putting together a comparison chart of all the candidate schools I'll be applying to. It's quite a bit of work. I know I have enough resource links on my FMR web page, but finding the information I'm looking for takes so much time. I'm interested in finding out what makes each school unique at various levels of academia and student experience. For example, I'm putting together information about how classes are taught, what classes are taught, unique real-work projects, specialty areas and post-graduate forecasts for graduates. I need another 2 days for this.

    So far I'm finding it difficult to answer the following questions:
    1) What makes the school unique academically? (Weeding through the marketing and looking for the nuggets that makes one B-school unique or not unique compared to others in the same tier)
    2) What kind of recruiting outlook would an IT Mgmt/General Mgmt specialty lead to upon graduation?

    I had asked around, but got no response of assistance in this regard from others that are applying. I realized in asking though that to ask someone for this kind of information is like giving away the farm because it's an incredibly valuable thing to be just giving away. So I'm creating my own and will ask people that I know at various schools to fill in some of the blanks. Please don't ask me for a copy... it's really too much work to just give away. (Although, after I'm accepted, I'm more than happy to share it)

    During this timeout, I decided to remove myself from nearly all my e-mail, blogging, etc and treat this timeout like a mini-vacation to minimize what I'm doing and to just enjoy life, friends, food and take care of required responsibilities. I feared that not doing so would cause burn out problems for me down the line and/or a lack of focus on priorities. My apologies for not being around.

    No GMAT prep yet as I'm finding that I need to take care of this school analysis first in order to make some clearer decisions.

    Still haven't got my grade for my last class yet and I'm shaking in my boots to find out whether I got an A or not. I know worry at this point is useless as it isn't productive, but sometimes I think about it and get a bit anxious.

    P.S. Thanks everyone for the encouragements and congrats on my class completion.

    Tidbit comments about things that are going on:
    1) Looks like Alex has added many of my fellow bloggers to the Wharton adcom Blog site. Cool!
    2) Graham at Clear Admit really turned on the afterburners with all his essay advice.
    3) Tyler Hamilton may get suspended and lose his Cycling Gold Medal-yikes
    4) My $1 Lance Armstrong Bracelet that I'm still wearing since the Tour de France that supports cancer research was selling for $25 on ebay. Guess the money will go to support several jerks looking for a profit on this hard to get bracelet.
    5) Wish Kerry and Bush would get off the war crap and talk more issues like on Health care, education. Wish Kerry would get more specific. At this point, I think Kerry lost the race though.
    6) Signed up for quite a few individual B-School invitations. October evenings look really full as a result.
    7) California was just announced as the worst state for Traffic in the U.S. The #1 worst city in the California is LA, #2 in California is San Francisco and #3 is Orange County. No wonder California is the worst. And no wonder I hate traffic so much!

    I'll be heading back home in a couple of days to pick up the GMAT study pace again with apps this time and looking for my next job. The timeout is just about over now and the game is still in the 1st quarter. When my GMAT is done and I have a clear handle on school information, I think that'll be the time that I hear the gun go off letting me know when the 1st Quarter has ended.

    School Finally Done

    All classes done! Now I can cross that off my list of things I had to do before applying to B-school. Whew! My final was today. I was pretty well prepared for the final. The only problem was that I ran short of time. As did many of my classmates. Something I was glad to hear because then I knew I wasn't alone.

    I had been holding reviews for my review group of 20 over the last 4 days. A total of 22 hours of review time. I was jazzed to find that we had covered things on the test so closely on quite a few questions. I'm still upset with myself right now because although I'm relieved this class is done, I'm sure if I had 20 minutes, I felt like I could pull off an A in this class. Now, it'll depend on the curve.

    So I invited everyone to a lunch and I ordered a Mai Tai. They bought me lunch and drinks, we took pictures and with hugs and goodbyes we ended our lunch. The fact that 90% of the group came out truly warmed my heart because then I knew that friendships had formed and the people enjoyed being together. I really get a kick out of leading and seeing such synergy.

    Now, I'm FREE to work on apps and GMAT. Oh boy. Here we go.

    Agenda for the next several days: GMAT studies, organizing and filing all this classwork to get it out of the way and to begin prelim essay and application strategy assessments, resume work for my next job.

    World MBA Tour & Happenings

    Just to be clear before reading this entry.... I just want to make it perfectly clear that this journal entry is from 2004 and not 2005

    I went to the World MBA Tour in Los Angeles Today. I met Dirty_Martini there. We said hi and went our way wandering around the tables. It was a zoo! There were quite a lot of schools. Wharton, Kellogg, Duke, Michigan, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Darden, McCombs, NYU, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, INSEAD and many others were there. There must have been 40-50 schools represented. The event was NOT what I expected.

    Let me describe my experience.

    I came thinking I might get to hear some informal presentations from various top schools. I was even more surprised by the $5 admission fee. I was thinking... these schools want to recruit the top students and they want us to pay to hear their sales pitches? Something not right about that. And if you registered at the door, it was $10. It's not a lot of money, but it was the thought of even charging at all that got to me.

    I received a big magazine that listed some information about every school represented. It was about a 1/2 in thick and was full of interesting articles that were relevant to the MBA app experience. I picked up a map and an agenda sheet. The agenda sheet listed three events. 1) A Kaplan GMAT seminar at two different times and a 2) panel of UCLA and Colorado MBA alumni or students to ask questions of. I was not interested in any of them. Then I asked myself, where are the real events?

    As I walked into the room, a guy holding a handful of white plastic conference bags with the word Kaplan written on it in huge blue letters handed me one bag. I entered the room to see a room full of tables with banners about 9 feet high behind the tables of most of the schools. Moreover, banners of every school fully covered the front of every table. I felt lost because I didn't know what to do because I didn't realize it was going to be like the Comdex computer conferences I had visited so many times in the past. There was nothing different about this setup.

    Tables lined all 4 walls with 5 isles stretching from front to back with tables lining each isle. You went to whatever school you wanted to, talked to the person at the table, grabbed some brochures.. pop them into your bag and that was it. I went to every school I plan on applying to and asked them several questions. I asked about IT background and desirability at their school. I asked about my age and I asked about their support for applicants and how they were providing help to get to know more about each school.

    You know what's sad.... they all said nearly the same thing. Didn't matter whether I was talking to Wharton folk or Darden. Some were weak in presentation compared to others. For example, when I went to Duke, I looked at the brochure and didn't see a single area that showed MIS or IT job results for the recent graduates. I saw finance and marketing predominantly. The lady told me that it was probably under 'other', but wasn't sure. I was infuriated. I asked her nicely if I could get a feel for what it might look like to go to Duke with an idea on management in technology. She said there were a few classes. Then she grabbed an alum who talked to me for 15 minutes about the school. That helped alot. He happened to come from the IT industry and told me what he experienced. I was still left with a bad taste in my gut about Duke as I walked to the next table though.

    Some schools had 1 rep and others had an army of 5-6. Kellog suprised the hell out of me with only 1 person behind the table. The biggest swarms of 10-15 people were around Wharton and Kellogg. It was truly sad to see tier 3 schools with 1 or 2 person manned tables with nobody really walking up to their tables. There were many tables like that. Once, I made the mistake of walking too close to a table as I was walking and the lady behind the table caught me off guard as she leaned way forward and asked me if I had any questions. Out of politeness, I asked her a few questions, grabbed a free pen and walked to the next table. She was so friendly... I sort of felt sorry for the schools with far lower ratings.

    I managed to meet many admissions directors and assistant directors. Got their business cards and made note of their names on the cards as nearly every single one gave me a generic business card without their personal contact info. I think UCLA was the only school where the assistant director gave me her personal business card.

    I got bored so stinking fast. You would stand at a table waiting for the person in front of you to finish asking their questions and than take your turn. Same old questions over and over. "What is your typical class like, What is your typical student like, What are my chances, How much experience in word do you need before applying..." Yada yada yada.

    I got really surprised when I was at the Kellogg table and I heard these two guys mention that they had received an e-mail from the rep at the table about the dinner tommorrow night. Then it hit me. What the..... there are side events aren't there! How can I get invited to one of those? Why wasn't I invited? How did they get invited and not me?

    Anyway, I decided to take matters in my own hands. Since this happened very early on, at nearly every school, I would ask, "are there any events going on over the next several days where I could get to know the school or people a bit better in an informal setting?" Not a single solitary bite Dang. The other side events going on were interviews. I had recieved an e-mail before arriving asking me to visit their table to be interviewed. I won't say the school, but let's just say, it was a school I never heard of before in my life. So that made me think... damn there are interviews going on with some schools on the side aren't there!

    I was in and out of there in 1 1/2 hrs. Although it was a 4 hour event, I just didn't see the need to stay there that long. The sheer number of people made it very inpersonal and hard to ask questions or talk to the reps without 3 or 4 people around you listening to everything you were talking about. The funniest sight was when I glanced over at the Kellogg table and saw that 1 rep standing in front of the table now with 13 people around her listening intently at everything she was saying to one Asian fellow.

    Now for the lame school comments. Throughout the last 2 weeks, I received e-mails nearly every day from various schools letting me know a little about the school while reminding me to visit their table on Sept 12th. This is fine except for the following schools who sent their e-mails this afternoon when I had already left to go to the event. (Some sent the e-mail at 3pm when the event had already started at 2pm) The following schools get my ,"That was funny to send the invite an hour after the event started award", UC Irvine, University of Pacific, Drucker, Santa Clara and UC San Diego. The other award goes to Arizona state for sending out their invitation with all the recipients included in the CC section of the e-mail as opposed to the BCC section allowing me to see all 3 pages of e-mails of all the people who got the same e-mail. Not good.

    The funny award. I was walking by the Michigan State University table and I commented how it was interesting how they had changed their B-school name to Ross. Then when I saw her confused look, I realized I was talking to the wrong Michigan school. After an awkward realization that I had got that wrong, we talked some.

    I was introduced by Dirty_Martini to a guy named C who told us a bit of his experiences with GMAT tutoring. He was a conference attendee just like us but was just saying Hi to his friends. He said some very encouraging things.
    1) He said that R3 last year was great time to apply unlike many years where R3 is a virtual death sentence for applicants. This was caused be the severe lack of applicants over previous years.
    2) This year in his strong opinion, applicants were going to be way down again.
    3) Some schools buy students into their schools to get better students. I won't mention the school he mentioned that is well known for this right now.
    4) He was very unappy about the GMAT because it's been compromised. The Chinese pass around the test answers all over the place now.
    5) He really encouraged me after I told him my GMAT score and told me that I was in a very good range to be very capable to do much better on the GMAT and that doing well on the GMAT can be learned as opposed to just being an assessment test.

    Some Humor

    This made me laugh-Dave

    OFFICE ARITHMETIC
    Smart boss + smart employee = profit
    Smart boss + dumb employee = production
    Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
    Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime

    SHOPPING MATH
    A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
    A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.

    GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
    A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
    A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
    A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
    A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

    HAPPINESS
    To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
    To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

    LONGEVITY
    Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more willing to die.

    MEMORY
    Any married man should forget his mistakes,
    there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

    APPEARANCE
    Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
    Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

    PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
    A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
    A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does

    Tragedy in Russia

    I just got up to speed on the Russian hostage situation and I cried my eyes out. I’m really sad for the survivors who have to recover from the trauma of the situation. In case you’ve been out of the loop like I’ve been, I’ll do my best to journalistically describe my understanding of what happened.

    About a week ago, a Russian elementary school had its 1st day of school. Most of the students were escorted by many of their parents. This was a time of the year when the classrooms were flooded with people. It was then that 23 Chechnyan Muslim Terrorists who were already within the buildings took over the school. Shooting ensued and within minutes 15 students and parent were dead. The total population of the school that day had swelled to 1300 parents, teachers, administrators and students.

    The hostages were all corralled into the gymnasium.

    For 3 days, Russian authorities labored to work out a release of the hostages. Russian authorities were able to find out that the reason for this violent act of force was because these Chechnyan rebels were demanding Russia to leave their country. In the mean time, the parents and teachers pleaded for mercy to let the children go. Their cries fell on deaf ears. Not only that, but they weren't allowed to go to the restroom, eat or drink or go to the drinking fountain that was down the hallwayto even get a drink; a mere 5 feet away. The terrorists ate and drank in front of their hostages, tantalizing them like spectators look into a cage of animals at the zoo. The hostages were forced to urinate and defecate on themselves were they sat. 5 and 6 year olds were crying their eyes out. Now, the weather there was at about 100 degrees during this time. The bodies of the dead were also adding to the incredible stench. It must have been putrid and unbearable in the gym.

    The terrorists were incredibly well armed. Survivors later reported that they were forced to open up hidden cavities in particular walls and dig and into the ground in various areas of the playgrounds where the terrorists had planted ammunition and armory. Clearly, they had planned the takeover months in advance and didn’t decide to do this at the last minute.

    In the meantime, the Russian authorities managed to work out a deal with the terrorists to pull out the dead bodies with unarmed Russian volunteers/officials. About 15 went in. And that’s when things changed.

    As the unarmed Russians went into the building, the Chechnyans’s opened fire on the entering volunteers killing a few and wounding many. The rest fled back out of the building. For 3-4 hrs, the wounded unarmed Russians lay there. Russian police and other authorities were able to pull them out later on.

    Inside, the Chechnyans who had previously lined the roof of the gymnasium with explosives decided in their anger and frustration to activate the explosives with every student inside the building. Remember, these were innocent 5 and 6 year old kids. As the roof caved in nearly 100 students and parents were immediately killed.

    In the chaos of the destruction, 5 year olds having seen their Mom or Dad killed beside them, and other students and parents decided to run. They tried to escape through windows and hallways only to find most of them blocked. The Chechnyans would have none of this and opened fire upon them with automatic rifles. Accounts tell of the terrorists targeting many of the children. And as they ran, they were shot in the back and their heads. They were shooting to kill; not wound them. These were 5 and 6 year kids getting murdered! Over a Hundred children were massacred at this point alongside their parents.

    Can you just picture the scene? My heart breaks just thinking about the shortened lives of these children that will never know the possibilities of their life……………….. They’ll never know the wonder of having a boyfriend or girlfriend………………... Some of them will never know the pain of applying to Business School……………. This tragedy will last in the minds of the survivors for the rest of their life.

    At this point, the Russian authorities had no choice but to send in their people to kill the terrorists despite the loss of innocent hostages that this action would result in. As the authorities went in, additional chaos reigned because of the escaping people. When the shooting stopped, the total body count from the roof cave-in and the terrorist execution of the hostages totalled a little over 300 students, parents and teachers.

    What really made me angry was the cowardice of some of these terrorists who at this point, dropped their weapons and attempted to run out of the building while trying to blend in with the hostages whom they were shooting at seconds before.

    The actions of these men can only be described as evil. They offered the hostages no mercy or pardon. They offered the Russian authorities no peace or options. And they offered us no choice but to hate them.

    I don’t see our world as one of Countries with soldiers to fight wars anymore, but rather soldiers trained as professional counter terrorist’s forces. As far as I’m concerned, this is at the level of a Jonesville incident where years ago, hundreds of people followed one man and drank cyanide cool-aid as a guaranteed passage to heaven.

    These Chechnyan terrorists lost their humanity somewhere along the line in life. They became evil in fleshly form. Truly, there are no bounds to the evil in this world.

    On another note regarding Florida. All I can do is shake my head. I don’t envy Governor Bush’s position. I actually laughed when he chided in on a news interview that there was a law being passed that if anyone mentioned the word Ivan around him that there was a $5 fine. I wonder if that would be considered a moving violation. Uh, just kidding.

    Anyway, I needed to lighten up this Journal entry a bit. Back to the books.

    Holiday's and Pacing

    It's another Holiday weekend and many of the new people that I've met here at school are out playing and having fun. I envy it. For the last 15 years of my life I've been working in the IT industry and there is ALWAYS one thing IT folk understand. Holiday's tend to be our most worked schedules. That's when we can bring down the Servers and make overhauls. I've learned over the years not to expect much from Holiday's because of this. If I do get away, it's such a pleasure and yet hard to see that it's a time to relax because I'm always on the phone or e-mail trying to help someone resolve an issue or re-allocate my team to adjust for surprises.

    This is probably one of my most hated aspects of having grown my career through IT. It's incredibly hard to plan vacations and make plans for Holiday's because of the push to get certain projects done and IT folk are always the ones around late at night. It's normal for me to see my car all alone in the dark parking lot as I walk out of the building to go home.

    Since I've been married, my Wife has been the one to instigate many of our excursions. Because of her, we've been all across Europe, on Alaskan Cruises, been to the wine country numerous times and gone to a variety of events. I think God that I have a Wife who helps me to do things that haven't been easy to plan for. I have such a dedicated passion for my work and to do the best that I can do and taking a planned break is not always on my mind.

    This weekend, I was invited to go fishing by some students and bungi jumping with another group. It was so natural to thank them and turn them down. In a way, it was like old IT ingrained mentality of thinking that the holiday weekend is a time to get a lot done. I had specific reasons this time though. For example, I know that I have a final in a week and a 1/2 and I see the vacation as a time to really go through my notes ravenously. The test is cumulative so there's a lot to review. My Sister and Mother are flying into town this evening from Seattle so I wanted to spend some time with them. We are going to be seeing my Grandmother in Los Angeles. She's 97 now and although she walks around and is as feisty as ever my Mother wanted to take the time to bring us together to spend some time with her.

    Sadly, I don't spend enough time with her. Although, I'm the one who has probably spend 4x as much time with her as my other relatives because I'm in the area. The hard part is that my primary language is English and since I was born in LA, I don't have much of my mother tongue fluency to communicate with her. My Grandmother doesn't know any English. What makes it worse is that she wears a strong hearing aide. So our conversations our rather awkward. I'm trying to speak our mother tongue about as well as a 3 year old and I'm yelling across the table as every 5th word from her is "what?". It's very frustrating. I like taking my wife because she has the ability to speak the language fluently with my Grandmother.

    My Grandfather passed away 5 years ago when he was 97. So we all think that she may not be around much longer. The saddest thing I hear from her though is that she's so lonely. To have lived that long, she tells me that every one of her friends have passed on. The only ones still around are the ones who are 20 years younger than she and they weren't that close. And they're not exactly very mobile. She sits alone at home most days reading her Bible and praying. Mostly just lost in thought and thinking of years gone by. We've recently moved her to an elderly care center because she no longer has the energy to keep up the apartment and cook for herself very well. How my grandparents got to be that old and still be so active is a miracle to me.

    My Sister and I often talk about whether we'd like to live that long and have concluded that we would, but only if we had signficant friends and family around.

    So now, I sit here studying and spend my time trying to get all this information into my head while my Grandmother sit's at home alone. Time is such a valuable thing and yet I'm not doing the things to maintain great friends because of my studies these day's. It's really quite sad in a way. But I know this is temporary as the B-school app process is temporary.

    I realy look forward to getting some of my life back. I want to get back and reconnect with friends and family. My Grandmother reminds me of just how important that really is.

    I'm sensing a little panic

    I'm reading people's Blogs and the one thought that has been coming to mind as of late is panic. The kind of panic that moves us to buckle down like the week before a Final and we are trying to very that we have all the notes and what will be on the Final or what won't be.

    I'm so happy for those that will be applying in R1 because then I'll be seeing a lot of happy people on these Blogger boards. That will be awesome. I gave up kicking myself months ago that I didn't get this school and GMAT thing done and over with already because it's so pointless to add to my stress at this point. I mean that intellectually and emotionally.

    Personally, I miss my wife/best friend oh so much. She doesn't understand exactly what I'm going through. I don't expect her to. I asked her to read the Montauk book, but she didn't. I think she got inimidated by the the stinking size of the book. So these Blogs and friendships through them have been so special to me. People that understand what I'm going through and I them.... !

    As far as my studies are concerned, I'm in the groove and am staying on top of my study game for the class. I am planning another review for my group that I did the review for. Although, the group has already grown because people are getting invited when I didn't want them to be solely because the group may hit 25 at this point. How the H@#$ to you have a review session with that many people without one person leading and teaching it. So, I'm preparing for that and making sure I don't walk into the review unprepared. I'm focusing on repacking topics in easier to understand explanations. Since I have a Microsoft Certified Trainer background, presenting technical topics is really quite fun for me. I have ideas on how to make the size more manageable. I'm going to be using small groups to help them answer questions amongst one another. I'm also going to be drawing the line in the sand as to who will come. Oh well, gotta be practical.

    The challenge of all this is to make sure I take care of myself first and have everything I want covered and nailed down to memory very well. I'm happy to say that 90% of my last review group received B's or higher. 30-35% received A's. That made me happy to know they all did well.

    One of the girls in the review group currently attends Harvard Undergrad. I talk to her occasionally about the east coast to get her take on school and life. It's pretty interesting. She tells me about how she misses classes twice a week because it's too stinking cold or too tired in the Winter to wrap herself up with 6 layers of clothing before heading out the door. There's another guy in my class who graduated from Harvard undgrad about 6 years ago and they both tell me how competitive the students are. Although many of his classes were graded on straight scale, the girl commented to me how in one class that was graded on a curve, she got 95% right and still got a B on the test because so many others did just as well. How crazy is that! 95%?

    The Harvard girl showed me some websites of videotaped lectures from her classes and we were able to integrate those into our studying these past few days because their Bio dept went over similiar topics we are currently covering. It was nice to virtually attend a Harvard Undergrad class.

    I really do wish everyone the best. It's hard to Blog regularly though because it seems like all I ever have to write about is my class. I'm doing my the best with the situation I'm in so I'm happy about that though.

    I do plan on attending the MBA Tour on Sept 12th though. Despite my Final on the 15th. I'm just going to have to suck it up. I really look forward to seeing the tension of all the applicants. I expect tension, panic and insecurity to be the reigning emotion of many of them. I just want to meet the adcoms and chill with them.. go have a beer with them or something and chat. Find out what their struggles are and see how people screw with them all the time. That would be oh so fun to hear about. If I could walk away with some personal contacts, have some key people get to know me a bit and clarify the specifics about each school I'm interested in, I think it will be time well spent. Anything else is sugar. My biggest wish would be to figure out a way to get some of the adcoms away for a beer and casual talk. :)
