So, grad school is going pretty well. I'm not going to jinx myself by mentioning specific grades, but let's just say that I'm happy right now. It's funny b/c I had serious doubts about whether I'd be able to do any of the work. My undergraduate major was Film/Video Production and my minor was Literature. When I graduated in 2002, I didn't even know what an MBA was.

At any rate, being in the program has turned my world upside down. The pro: my coworkers (90% of whom are Vice Presidents) seem to have a newfound respect for me. The con: I have absolutely *no* free time anymore.

Of course, this is a finance blog, so what would this entry be without a little something about my monetary status? Well, my recent downfall has been Starbucks. I never used to drink coffee in the afternoon, but now by 2pm I'm trucking off to the nearest Starbucks. Of course, this puts a pretty big dent in my wallet. I also find myself going 2x a day on weekends as well.

So, once again I'm turning to the readers out there for advice:

Does anyone have any advice for people who work full-time and attend school part-time on weeknights? Where do you find the energy to give both work & school 110%?

Of course, it could be far more difficult:
Some students have work, school -and- children! I can't even begin to imagine how exhausting that could be.
