Hawaii for fun and sun

Sunday begins a two week break between the spring and summer semester at Argosy University (where I am pursuing the DBA) http://www.argosyu.edu/ and http://online.argosyu.edu/. So, my husband and I are taking a long overdue vacation to Hawaii for two weeks. We will not be taking a computer, we will only have the cell phones on for emergencies (this is a huge challenge for us) but since we are both pursuing our Doctorate's in Business Administration at the same time. This has been an interesting year with both pursuing the "terminal degree" much of our time has been spent working on class with trying to catch time together when we have finished our class work and when we have finished our day at the office.

So, I am really looking forward to spending some quality time together.

Even though I just started this blog, unless I post tomorrow do not expect a post until after the middle of May.

Spring 07 finished

The Spring Semester Session II 07 has just ended today and I completed my fifth class in this quest for a Doctorate of Business Administration in Accounting. There are days I cannot believe I am actually pursuing this degree, but then there are other days in which I am glad to be pursuing this goal.

The two classes I took this past spring were probably the most frustrating ones I have ever taken. The one I just finished was on qualitative research which really stretched my learning boundaries. I lean heavily toward quantitative, so thinking about non-numbers oriented research was a different experience.
