A journey through the Darden MBA. Part 2 of 2–BIG Photo Edition! Part 1 of 2). April 19, 2012. As I’m wrapping up my time here, I feel that I’m constantly being reminded of why I was so drawn to Darden to begin with. Next post will feature some of the more social elements that seem to be quite overt in our SY, but this post touches upon diversity, the #1 ranked faculty, and the Honor code of the University. Click on each of the links for a short one minute video–. This entry was posted in Darden.

A journey through the Darden MBA. Part 1 of 2). My final Darden post: What it means to be a WAHOO →. Part 2 of 2–BIG Photo Edition! April 30, 2012. As I write this post, I have my foot propped up on a pillow, covered in ice, and my crutches are strewn about my couch. I had been planning on writing the “Why Darden? Part 2” sequel focusing on the social aspect of Darden this week anyway….so how fitting is it that I’m injured from this weekend’s activities? Read the captions of the collages below! 2) view o...

Beyond Debits and Credits: A day in the life of a (SY) MBA..
http://almondspeaks.blogspot.com/2012/04/day-in-life-of-sy-mba.html
Beyond Debits and Credits. Thursday, April 26, 2012. A day in the life of a (SY) MBA. Caveat: This describes a day in the life of a second year MBA student. A first year MBA I'm sure will beg to disagree, especially Darden first years who know that life in the Darden bubble ain't a bed of roses. But hey, here's your light at the end of the tunnel. I have two classes today. In my second class (Digital Marketing), we have a speaker who spoke to us about the merits of mobile commerce and how it is diffe...

Beyond Debits and Credits. Thursday, October 28, 2010. First Dates (a.k.a Interviews). Please refer to my last entry for the contextual explanation of recruitment and the dating game. Http:/ almondspeaks.blogspot.com/2010/10/that-scary-thing-called-recruitment.html. My first taste of the recruitment dating game came all too soon a few days ago. I miss you Mom! And onto the 2.5-hour drive to Dulles international airport. Friday, 3:00pm (Interview with High-tech company). At the conclusion of the interview...

A journey through the Darden MBA. The best year I would never repeat →. April 18, 2011. I went to Dean Bruner. 8216;s house for a cookout tonight. Yes, the Dean’s house. For a cookout. He was casually clad in jeans and a polo while cooking burgers (even veggie burgers for you, Lils. The sign greeting us at the Bruner home. Photo courtesy of Brooke Edmonsten Lloyd III. One at his house next week is for the Darden National Association of Women MBA (NWAMBA) members (100 of us! Us Darden students moan and gr...

Beyond Debits and Credits: November 2010
http://almondspeaks.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Beyond Debits and Credits. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. Black November's Ray of Light. Today, I woke up to rain pounding on my window and an ominously dark sky. I wanted to curl up in bed, warm and dry under my comforter. But of course, there were cases to do and a Marketing simulation class activity to tackle. I was beyond astonished! Almost 12 hours after all the excitement, the dust has settled somewhat and I hate to say this but I'm faced with new fears. My letter had said, "Yumiko, we are looking...

Beyond Debits and Credits: January 2011
http://almondspeaks.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Beyond Debits and Credits. Friday, January 7, 2011. Caveat: This entry is in no way meant to be insensitive to the plight my classmates who are making intense preparations for their internship interviews and are in the process of landing internship positions. Rather, this is one girl's reflections on the choices she made and the possible repercussions of those choices. So, do read with caution. Decision deadline: early January. It would have been utterly hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Daughter. siste...

Beyond Debits and Credits: And that's how you Pay It Forward
http://almondspeaks.blogspot.com/2012/01/these-days-its-quite-easy-to.html
Beyond Debits and Credits. Thursday, January 19, 2012. And that's how you Pay It Forward. So to my fellow second years, kudos for paying it forward. The Darden community salutes you for your effort, sacrifice, and strong commitment to helping your fellow Dardenites be a little closer to achieving their ambitions. Cherish that warm feeling you get when the first years you coached get the job offers they wanted. It's like winning the bet on that right horse. Or just kinda. January 20, 2012 at 6:32 PM.

Beyond Debits and Credits: February 2011
http://almondspeaks.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Beyond Debits and Credits. Friday, February 11, 2011. Mulling over this strange, roller coaster-like saga that we've fondly called "the recruitment process" in business school, I'm reminded of a song I heard a while back. This teeny boppy song many people will find corny, mind you. But if you listen closely to the lyrics, it's actually quite beautiful and very apt to the many events unfolding in the Darden halls these days. I can almost see it. That dream I'm dreaming. You'll never reach it". That sense ...
