Done

Well, Commencement and Convocation have come and gone. I don't have my degree in hand (or on the wall), but I am officially graduated. Julie McCoy, B.A, M.B.A.

While it's been a long road, in retrospect the time went quickly. Because I attended part time, I have had two parallel tracks: professional and academic. It is true that I've been able to bring real world examples into the classroom, and turn classroom lessons into tools for understanding my workplace.

That said, turning those tools into actions and accomplishments is a separate endeavor.

Regardless, I now have an MBA. This may sound like Kool-Aid talk, but I do feel like I have a much stronger grasp of business fundamentals, especially financial analysis and strategy. I have what I sought; a formalized framework in which to apply what I have already known about business.

So yay. Yay Me! I did it. Now I need to decide what I'll do next.
