5/12 done! My fifth quarter (start of second year) at UC Davis’ Bay Area Working Professional MBA Program

I’ve been neglecting this latest school update for too long!

In December I finished the two classes I was taking in the Fall 2009 quarter, Marketing Strategies and Negotiation in Organizations. Both were excellent courses I recommend.

While December should have been super relaxing, Sara and I spent our free time buying a house. We actually were in escrow on two properties at the same time, and through sheer determination and some excellent negotiation, we got the house we wanted at a fantastic price. I’m happy to report that I even negotiated a price reduction from Bank of America on a bank-owned property! No one believed it was possible, but maybe Barry’s Negotiation course was better than I thought. I should give it an “A” instead.

In the Winter 2010 quarter I’ll be taking an Executive Leadership Seminar course and a class on Technology Competition and Strategy.
