I received a scholarship to finish my MBA abroad so I am heading to Bangkok to study for a term!!!
I am going to try to blog frequently about my experiences while abroad. I hope I experience many exciting new things that I can share with everyone. My schedule is already getting full; I am going to be taking two night courses and interning full-time at the Department of Commercial Services at the US Embassy- so cool! Then on the weekends, I plan to soak in the culture, sights, and of course warm (hot) weather!
What about my job? I am so fortunate that they were willing to support my education and allow a leave of absence. I have to say this was nerve wrecking- i thought it would be a deal breaker. Thankfully, they see the value in the diverse education and know i will be more of an asset when i return.
What about Doug? It will be tough being apart from Doug for such a long stretch, but it is an once a life time opportunity that I can’t pass up!! He has been super supportive (as always, I am such a lucky girl). Thank goodness he is coming my first week-what a relief!!! We will miss each other dearly, but its only two months. I am going to go for cheesy cliché and say distance will make the heart go fonder, right?
All in all, this is going to be the ultimate wrap up for all of the time Ive spent on school the last two years of my life on! Outside of that one capstone course when I get back, this is really it and I am sooo glad to see the light at the end b/c I am soo done!! What a reward, I feel like this will be worth all the sacrifices.....writing all of those freaking papers when I would have rather been enjoying a glass of wine with some friends!
I am sure lots will go wrong, but hopefully it will all make a good laugh!
Talk soon!! Take care, much love...mis
