Typical MBA day

Big day at Columbia today - worked on five of my six subjects over a period of 15 hours! I'm tired ;-(

• 6:30am - 7:30am - wake up call from Stephenie. Caught up on the latest news from Australia, and worked on our plans for travels at the end of the year.
  
• 7:30am - 8:15am - shower, shave, and walk to b-school
  
• 8:15am - 9:45am - Options Markets class (incl. breakfast and catching up on emails)
  
• 10:00am - 11:30am - Introducting to Venturing class
  
• 11:30am - 12:00noon - lunch at Uris deli
  
• 12:00noon - 1:30pm - finish off a case analysis on H-E-B's private label brands for Building and Managing Brands class
  
• 1:30pm - 3:00pm - meeting with my Building and Managing Brands team - planning our approach for a brand revival presentation for A&W Restaurants.
  
• 3:15pm - 6:00pm - Building and Managing Brands class
  
• 6:00pm - 8:00pm - Dinner break - found a great restaurant called Deluxe that serves a decent steak for only $11.95. Not really a break though, since I read an article for my Marketing Plans Workshop class over dinner
  
• 8:00pm - 11:15pm - meeting with my Advanced Corporate Finance team - we're working on designing a suitable capital structure for a management buyout of Cap & Seal, including various forms of debt with covenants.
  
• 11:15pm - 11:30pm - update the blog, then go home to bed. It all starts again at 8:30am tomorrow.
  

Actually, it's not quite a typical day, but as we get towards the end of the term, it definitely starts to resemble the norm.
