    25% down...75% to go

    Finished 5 classes on my 20 class MBA track.

    It's not easy.

    I'm still standing.

    Fall will be the true test of my resolve:

    QM
    Calculus
    Marketing
    Legal

    In class 3 nites per week. One night 6 - 10:55 pm

    If anyone out there is on the fence: YOU CAN DO THIS
    As for the charges against me, I am unconcerned. I am beyond their timid lying morality, and so I am beyond caring.

    Mark, congrats on being a fourth of the way there already!

    Talk about serendipity...I was thinking about you this morning and rethinking my "no new masters" stance, so thanks for this update. I may cross over to the dark side and take up some finance, accounting and statistics yet. Or really say fugg it and just get the JD/MBA.

    This past weekend, I attended a multi class reunion of Stuyvesant HS black alumni. So many great stories. The one theme that kept hitting me upside the head was that of resolve. Not all of us made it thru the experience. But we all shared the experience.


    Some of us lacked the support or the encouragement. Some of us found all we needed within ourselves.

    Congrats Mark!!
    . . . I heard Older Kats lay claim to her, and say they spit game to her, but they never put a name to her, so I called her D'Zyre. Like so many street cars that I did for . . . Malik Yusef

    Dude!

    One night, Larry Levan played this song about 8 or 9 times (including maybe 3 times back to back)

    Changed my life. For Real.

    The above is my only PG story worth telling

    Mike

    I had hoped to see him but he was a no show. Hopefully he is doing better than he had been (on the low, Eliot was MAD smart in addition to being a good baller)

    I never got chance to attend the Bear Mountain boat rides but I always heard good news about those events (as in dope girls)

    Did you run with a lot of folks from Stuy?

    Congrats my brother. You got me thinking about going to get my MBA. Calculus kicked my ass at U of I though, lol. Having a tutor really helped.

    Ha ha, business calculus, or calculus?

    Just remember, less than five percent of America has a Masters; it will make you more of an educational aristocrat. Keep up the good work!

    BTW, it's really hard to study after eating BBQ.
