I am officially a student once again. This past week I started the EMBA program at BYU. We had what BYU called "Residency Week" but I like to call "Adult EFY" this past week. I went to school every day from 7am - 5pm. I don't know if they have it that early to make you appreciate your job, but I now definitely appreciate my 9am start time at Monavie much more than I did a week ago. I almost can't wait to go back to work.....almost!
Highlights from the week included:
- Meeting my team that I get along with really well and should be my BFF's by the end of this year...LOL!
- Going to Camp Williams and doing really fun team building exercises that really made you get to know your team (a little too close in some cases!)
- Going to the power plant in Delta, UT. I learned all sorts of things about energy that I never knew (which wasn't hard since I pretty much knew nothing prior to this week).
- My professors and administration are seriously awesome. It was very well planned out week
- Eating WAY too much. They pretty much fed us every 2 hours.
I am actually loving school so far even though I did 10 hours of Accounting homework yesterday! I feel an overwhelming amount of gratitude that I was accepted into such a prestigious program. I will say that I was surprised by the average age of my program (37). There were so many people with many more years of experience that it was a little intimidating, but I think it will be great to learn from such smart people!
In short......I'm excited!
