Fortunato_NC's Journal: CCMBA Update

So, I haven't done the best job updating my journal lately - I've been busy!

We're going into week 5 of 6 of the distance portion of term 1, and things are super-busy. The team project for managerial effectiveness was due last week, and I felt our team's effort was outstanding. When the grade gets here, we'll know for sure.

Some thoughts on the first term:

Communication over distance is difficult to decipher. I've apparently been rude to one of my teammates, but I'm not sure what I said to offend. This is affecting the team dynamic, so I know I need to get it fixed, but I have no idea how.

Accounting is much easier the second time around. In undergrad, accounting was my least favorite class. In the CCMBA program, I have pleasantly surprised myself so far. Our second team project and final are coming up over the next two weeks, so we'll see if I can keep it up.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the CCMBA program is stocked with brilliant people. Our message board discussions are engaging and informative. Usually, I read message boards for the flamewars, but there is a lot of signal and very little noise on the Fuqua NNTP server.

Finally, I'm looking forward to the next residency. We're going to two Duke football games, and it should be a blast. We'll work hard, but we're also going to play hard, and this time around, I'll be at the Thomas Center, not the Washington Duke Inn! I can actually get drunk at Danny's Den, instead of worrying about driving back to the hotel! Sweet!
