I'm in the home stretch - this is my third and final year of graduate school. Last week was my first week of classes. This semester I'm taking Financial Management for Nonprofit Organizations and Leadership - two required classes. The finance class will be challenging but our professor is friendly, very knowledgeable, and he makes the material interesting. Leadership should be fairly easy and it's co-taught by two really wonderful professors. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my class schedule for the semester.
My research assistantship is a ton of work already. So far, I'm researching Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in New York City and their involvement in arts and culture. While it is extremely interesting, I'm already starting to feel the pressure from the added workload.
This past Labor Day, I decided to not do any work at all. I went with Dennis to a Yankees game. Even though the Yankees lost to the Orioles, we had a great time. We took a water taxi to the Bronx and had hot dogs, beer, and garlic fries (which smelled way better than they tasted). I met his twin sister who is sweet, easy going, and very warm and friendly. The weather was beautiful and my skin is nice and tan.
It's so important to take a little time to relax and put work on the back burner every once in a while. This was such a great way to ease into a hectic fall semester.
