I know, I know, I already reported it once, almost two months ago, that my first year of part-time MBA was over. But it was according to the business school’s schedule, not my personal. If I did not take take classes in the first summer term module, then it would indeed be the end.
But now I can honestly say to myself that the first year of MBA is finished. For some reason I don’t feel the same level of exaltation that I had back at the end of the Spring Term, just a deep sense of relief and calm serenity 
It works for me.
I am still waiting for my grades in both classes I had. In Business and Public Policy we had our final paper and in-class group presentation on Tuesday last week. Yesterday I submitted my take home exam in Nature of Markets. I don’t expect any surprises with grading, so I can mostly take my thoughts of the school for now and engage myself into other, no less pleasant, things in life: going to the pool with the kids, hiking on weekends, preparing for a vacation trip, read for pleasure, etc. And the beauty of it all is that I have 2 (TWO) FULL MONTHS of SUMMER BREAK. That’s a big luxury. I really feel for some of my classmate who opted for both Summer Term modules. That would be too much for me. My summer break is much-needed and well-deserved, and I am taking it!
There is still another test for my professional certification that I need to take in less than two weeks from now, but that really does not bother me too much. You always can re-take it without negative impact on your graduate GPA for the rest of your life 
. So I will take it easy.
I hope I will not disappear from this blog for the rest of the summer, but I am not making any specific promises. I have a lot of stuff I would like to put on the blog, but I don’t want to strain myself either. On the other hand, now that I don’t have homework and required readings, maybe I will fill this time with updating the blog. We’ll see how it goes, stay tuned! Have a great summer!

Good for you! I am also a part-time MBA student and will be very glad when I have reached the 1/2 mark and can say the same! Enjoy your summer!
Actually, for me it is also just 1/3 mark. Part-time MBA program at GWU, as is in most American business schools, unlike European, is taking the same three years to complete. Good luck!
