Sometimes I wonder if this whole grad school thing is worth it

I sure as hell hope so cause I'm almost done with mine. Two more classes to go! It can't end soon enough. Stupid me, I'm thinking of going for a second Masters or a Doctorate shortly after finishing this MBA. I need to stay out of school for a while and actually do some work.

Are you in school now?

It really depends on what you want to do and what you are interested in.

I have had the opportunity to learn and do some neat things because of my grad experience, even if I don't carry on to work directly in my field.

Actually, it's not so bad. Medieval lit is just stuffed full of blood, gore, and sex. It's like going to see and R (or NC-17) rated movie everyday.

Nice! I'm probably going to get a minor in Japanese.

So you don't hate yourself enough to go for the major?

Pretty sweet. If you have a chance try taking a class on classical. Whole different ballgame than Tokyo standard, and pretty necessary if you want to read even slightly older texts. That and it's fun (did I mention the violence?), and modern grammar makes a whole lot more sense afterwards.

I don't think the minor will go that deep, but we'll see.
