My favorite reading material is now officially Business Week. I’m considering getting a subscription, but I already have one to Forbes — only because it was one of the few financial mag choices I had when getting my 5 subscriptions for $30 deal at NetMagazines.com. How the heck would I have time to read five magazines, I don’t know.
I was forced to subscribe to Fortune during my senior year in college, and I threw away the last couple of issues still fresh with the plastic wrapping around them. (Hmm… Now that I think about it maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was taking 7 classes in the business school holding two jobs an internship and driving myself crazy with finding something to do after graduation.) So I never really found financial magazines very interesting or helpful while I was studying business.
But Business Week — this stuff I actually read! The stories are quite concise and informative, and most importantly they are in plain English. How innovative. OK, I guess that just tells ya how good my business vocab is at this point. I really like the Asian Section. Er… in fact, I read little beyond the Asian/Global biz section. ^_^” Hey, at least one of my interests has proven long lasting. Whether that interest will lead me anywhere is another question all together.
Oh yeah, just finished my SOP (Statement of Purpose) for UTD (University of Texas at Dallas). It was quite fun to come up with a long term career goal while typing up that letter. Then I started looking at McCombs and I was like… Man, #1 program in the nation… and really not that expensive to go to… Then again, I looked at their course requirements and they don’t really offer a lot of international perspective. I guess accounting isn’t really an international field per se considering every nation has its own standards. We’ll see what I can make of this.
Five days until GMAT! I’m so excited that I can finally get this whole thing over with. Then I can concentrate on studying for my Japanese exam in 2 months. Only 2 months!! Already registered and even got my flight to Chicago booked. Yea! I get to see Gina again!
Hmm… back to work.
