TMMBA Week in the Life: Radu Mocanita, Day 7
Radu Mocanita, TMMBA Student, Class of 2015
Hello and welcome back for the last episode of a week in my life as a TMMBA student. I hope you were able to get a feeling of what’s it like to be a part time student here at UW. The courses are great, with really good study cases and great faculty. The program is well thought to help you optimize your time as much as possible so you can still have some free time to enjoy life, after working and studying. As I was saying in Day 1, I just started but I already feel like I’ve learned a whole lot and I had great experiences here, so far.
But let’s get back to our topic, which is how a usual Sunday looks like in my schedule these days. Sunday is your free day. Sure, you still take a few hours to study like most of the days, but in my (new) understanding free means that you have the chance to make your own schedule. No obligations, no places to be at, no fixed schedule for the entire day.
Today I woke up at 10 am – finally, a day to sleep in late! At least Sundays did not betray me like Saturdays did. Sundays are still mine. Got a coffee, studied for a few hours in the morning. Then a miracle happened – sun came out – so in the afternoon I went out to get some air. Spent again most of my day in the yard, doing stuff around the house. In the evening I got some friends over and now – after 10 – I plan to watch a movie.
On a usual Sunday, I’d probably spend a few extra hours to study more in the evening, from 7 to 10 or so. But this time is better, as we’re already done with most classes for the quarter and all we have left is the final exams – which reminds me, the Micro exam was published yesterday and is due on Thursday. I’ll probably have to sacrifice my evenings during next week since I didn’t spend any time on it today. But it was worth it – you don’t see the sun that often these days here in Seattle 🙂
Anyway, the weekend is almost over. In a few hours, I’ll start the week all over again with Day 1, getting closer and closer to my goal: to finish the MBA. One quarter down, 5 left to come.
Thank you for taking the time to read my stories, I hope they inspired you. Maybe we’ll get the chance to meet in person in a few years, at alumni gatherings. That will be cool.
Cheers and good luck!
Radu
