Having been in Philly for nigh on six weeks now, and into 'real term' for two (as opposed to the glories of pre-term which I am sure others have covered by now), it has become increasingly clear that life is like, not a box of chocolates, but...

Pre-Term was chaotic fun. I ran from one activity to the next, sleep deprived and giddy. Now, as I reflect on the past three weeks, I've noticed things are still fun but less chaotic. I'm getting better at this whole grad school thing. Making...

Preterm is over, done, and this is what I got out of it; a half course credit, a thousand different Wharton t-shirts, two water bottles, and my learning team. I also lost some things; mostly sleep, but also the mouth-drying dread that had been building...

Only 21 days passed since I landed in Philadelphia, and every moment of it has been very joyful so far. When I close my eyes now, 4 major points come to my mind: 1st P: Pre-term This year, Wharton has compressed its preterm schedule to 2 weeks. With the...

Summer is drawing to a close, and it was a busy one for the JD/MBA class of 2014. Having recently completed a challenging first year of law school ("1L"), we pushed ahead in May and June with a "mini term" comprised of Federal Income...

It's been just about a week since all of us returned from our learning team retreats, and we're all still struggling to recover. You may have heard about the retreat, an infamous and integral part of Wharton pre-term. Basically, the schools sends...

Summer camp . Some of us cherish its memory deeply while others once whittled away their childhood summer months ensconced in the comfort of their proximity to home. The highlight of Wharton Pre-Term is a 2-day trip to a summer camp in the Catskills for...

I realize I'm a little behind my fellow student diarists: I meant to post this last weekend... but I'm glad I waited until now, because every new day here at Wharton offers a ton of new experiences! So I have more to share with you :) Also, this...

It's great to be back in Philadelphia and pre-term has been a blast so far. It's been insanely busy though. I got back from India (where I was on summer immersion as part of my dual degree Lauder program) last Saturday, which was immediately followed...

As a joint degree student in the Lauder program (Chinese track!!) I had the privilege of starting school back in May, and spending the summer in China with 16 other Chinese trackers!! It was a blast, like study abroad all over again, this time with better...

Drinking from a fire hose ( expression ): To be overwhelmed (with information, work, etc.); to do something intensely; to be inundated. Recently, one of my friends described the first few days of Wharton pre-term as "like drinking from a fire hose...

Kids! What's really really magnificent? It pains me that I've been away from this blog for so long, but I'm about quality, not quantity - ask somebody. Now, looking back on the past twelve months - I smile. Sike. I actually have a blank stare...

It's hard to believe I'm already three weeks deep into Pre-Term. It seems like just yesterday I had my going away barbecue back in NY. Life seems to go so much faster the older you get. In fact, a year ago I was still figuring out why business...

It has begun. What started out as a journey to understand what an MBA is and how it fit into my life long career aspirations, has now transitioned to living that MBA experience. After leaving my job in May this year, I took some much needed time off to...
