On Monday I finally got my grades for Global Perspectives. The Managerial Accounting grade came within a couple of days after the final exam. I waited to get both grades before posting on that. Both grades came as a surprise to me: a pleasant one and somewhat disappointing, even though I got straight B’s in both classes.
The Managerial Accounting was a pleasant one, because of the blunder I had on the exam. I am quite happy that I was able to pull it out for that grade. The Global Perspectives grade was a bit of a disappointment, as I was really confident that I did reasonably well on the final. Turned out I was over-confident – I missed a couple of questions. Besides, our group paper on FDI to Russia was also just a B. Probably, it was a significant contributing factor to the final cumulative grade too. Well, as the saying goes, they don’t call it a B-school for no reason 
I looked up the group paper, but professor’s notes were mostly illegible. I guess, I will never really know what were his thoughts on grading us lower than we expected
For the last week the MBA students were on a “forced” spring break. Since the MBA program is on on a seven weeks modular schedule, while the rest of the University is on a regular 14-weeks mode, the rest of the University had their legitimate spring break. Ours was after the first week of classes already started, not much of a relief. The spring break was the reason that I did not post in the meanwhile, as there was nothing really worthy of writing about.
Now we are back to school, and the “adrenaline rush” is kicking in again. Forward to more excitement!
