A real day?

After a few days in class, its time to reflect on how things are going. I wake up at 7am, leave by 7:45, drive my moto like a madman to arrive at school at 8:10, then its into the computer lab to print the results of my cases, a quick stop in the bathroom to gel my hair and I make the morning meeting by 8:15. Mas or menos 5 minutes. The group meeting is every morning from 8:15-9:15. This is where we discuss our three cases for 20 minutes each so we understand what's going on and don't need to ask stupid questions in class. 9:30 is the first class, it lets out at 10:45, the second class is 11-12:15, lunch is from 12:15-2pm, this is when you can work on a case or study, the third class is 2-3:15 and Spanish is from 3:30-5pm. Every evening we need to go home and prepare at least 1 case but this week the average has been two. Soon it will be three a night. You may ask yourself, what is a case and why do I care. To answer the first part last, you don't care and you shouldn't. I have to care, so I do. A case is simply a write up of a business situation where there is a problem and its up to us to figure out the problem and how to fix it. Some cases are very vague and we spend time figuring out what's happening and other cases give us tons of numbers to crunch. Each case is expected to take 1-3 hours to prepare thoroughly. Yesterday at lunch I asked a few classmates if they thought classes/professors were what they expected. Everyone said no. I admit that classes do not seem very structured but that is part of the case method. Its just like with a business, a million things are happening and you need to figure out what is important and why. You have to learn to cut through all the crap. At 5pm I usually head straight off campus, hop on the moto and arrive home around 5:30. That gives me enough time to check emails, make a call or two, spend time with Tessa, and do homework. I already learned that sleep is the most important thing so I'm trying to get 6-7 hours a night. I think this is way above the average.
