13 down 1 to go...

I have not been updating this blog too regularly, because I finally gave in and joined Facebook. So I joined the dark side and update there pretty regularly. If you know my "real" name, friend me and you can read my updates and random thoughts there.

I finished my 13th graduate course last week. It was my last core course I was required to take. It was a great course. I really liked the professor. He is by far the most down to earth guy I have ever had and the amazing thing was he really respected the students' time and recognized we are working professionals going to school at night. We had lectures and I had to write a 6-10 page paper for my grade. The last class we went to a local watering hole for drinks and some food while we discussed our paper topics. It was a great end to a great course. I received my grade back today and I earned an "A" so he must have liked the research paper I did on the "Economics of Cloud Computing."

The Master's program I am in has a 6 course core requirement, 6 elective course requirement, 1 prerequisite programming class, and a capstone class to wrap everything up. I only have the capstone class remaining. That class starts in January and finishes the first week in March. Then I am done with my MIS degree! I am planning on putting the cap and gown on for the last time in May 2010. That should be it for me forever. That is unless my current employer wants me to get an MBA, then... well back to school I go...
