BYU MBA Program 2008

Well, I am back at school, and boy are things different. I went from living in a small apartment by myself playing Halo 3 online at 3am and eating Lucky Charms for dinner to living in a small apartment with my wife and child and NOT being able to do what I want. It is pretty crazy, but it is good to be living with my wife again, and my one month old son, even if he does keep me up all night. I realized that once you become a parent you don't sleep, you just take naps.

The hardest thing this semester has been making a decision on where I am going to work. I used to think when you had a job offer everything was easy and there was no problems because you have jobs lined up. Boy was I wrong, one of the hardest things to do was actually choosing betweening what job you want. It is hard, deciding where you want to move your family, what company you think is best for you and your future. I made a hard decision and said no to one of the compaines I had an offer from. It took a lot of thinking and praying, and it is hard because you always look back, but you can't, you just got to go forward.

So, you would think things are easy now, but I still have make a decision on what I am going to do by this Friday. I thought by December 31st everything would be ready and I could finally start looking at houses, but no, here it is, January 13th, and I still have no idea where I am going to end up. I guess I should thank BYU that it is a good program and I am getting these offers, but it is still pretty hard. We are leaning towards Phoenix, but we will see. Who knows where I will drag my family to.

School has been kind of nuts the first week because I am constantly forgetting what classrooms I am going to. At least it is my last semester so I have some nice easy classes like Basketball and Tennis, but I am getting a Strategy and International Business minor, so I still have a heavy load. I have a field study with a company sending DVD's down to Latin America, so hopefully we can come up with a reason to have to make a trip down there, especially Argentina, to check it out. That would be awesome, and isn't that what field studies are all about, Travel?

Since it has only been the first week of school there is not much going on school wise, but trying to make a decision between my offers has been work enough. Like I said, I guess I should just be happy BYU has given me the education I need to get so many offers, but it is hard, because a person is always scared they are turning down the wrong company. You just have to go for it though, and hope things go well.
