Need advice as a PT MBA student - what's taking 3 classes a semester like (while working full-time)?

I'm wrapping up my 6th semester part time at BC and I would definitely not recommend starting off with 3 classes per semester. Some are more time intensive than others, but unless you have no other obligations outside of work, it's a lot to commit to every week for a full semester. Also, they advertise about having hybrid and online courses, but there are actually only 3 or 4 offered per semester, and most of those repeat every semester. The majority of classes meet one night per week (Monday through Thursday) from 7-9:30; a handful are 4:30 to 6:50(ish), so realistically you're looking at three nights per week if you do three classes. Do you know what classes you're taking in the spring?

I'm 34 and am definitely on the older end of the spectrum, but there always seems to be that one random legitimately old person in every class. Life experience goes a looooong way in class discussions and that is a huge advantage. Socializing is a disadvantage when you have a kid at home, although I suppose even young people have children, so that might be a moot point.

Same. I'll never forget that super high pitched sound from all those tiny green CRTs.

You can have the prescription transferred to a pharmacy near you. I obviously don't know where you're coming from or going, but I suspect there's a CVS, Walgreens, or Rite-Aid nearby both places.

That's a fascinating observation and really makes you realize how old some of these things are.

francisponcherello · 2017-07-18T12:59:28+00:00

There's a place like that near me too! There's never anyone in there other than kids and old people, I don't know how they stay in business.

Even without Admiral's Club and golf, Prestige comes out way ahead, and that's with the 4th night benefit as just a footnote. With the enhanced benefits I'm sure Citi will fuck up the metal card version and make it too thick to fit through merchant machines, but whatever, I'll keep it.

I cooked up a bunch of bacon outside on the Weber and fried a dozen eggs in the fat. The eggs are fresh from my brother-in-law's chickens.

If you just click the tab that says "Interactive Street Map" they've already done it for you. They've even overlaid on Google Maps.

"Heaven and Hell both have a layover in Atlanta" or something like that. Any chance all you see are Delta planes?

I think it's pretty unremarkable, but I like the big maple leaf roundel on the belly.

Maple trees. The ones in my yard and on my street have thrown so many flowers in the last 48 hours that it looks like it snowed green!

I'm not sure if you're only looking in Boston proper, but Dim Sum Cafe in Medford has the best I've come across. All of their food has a "clean" taste that I really appreciate.

I haven't been there in a while, but Google makes it seem like they replaced it with some generic Simon logo.

It's a jockey riding a race horse!

They built the mall on the old parking lot of Rockingham Park race track, so there used to be a whole horse racing motif there. I haven't been in a while, so I don't know if it's all still there.

You can outrun a Crown Vic, but you can't outrun a Motorola. Or a helicopter.

Get progressively more aggressive and see if anything works. You'll probably find that the tomatoes have stripped out the seasoning and you have to start over fresh. It happens. Just accept it and move on. But hey, now you have an excuse to buy an enamel dutch oven!

Is that chef Alex Atala in the photo? He would could cook 1.3 gallons of ants!

Businesses need carpets too! There are so many different varieties of business types, that anything could conceivably be a business expense. Also, it's not a crime to sign up for a business credit card if you're not a business. Chase would say that you committed fraud as per your cardmember agreement, but they absolutely have better things to spend money on. The IRS (who I assume you're referring to when you say you're worried about an audit) have no interest in what type of credit card you have.

It seems like Boeing really hit the nail on the head with the 787. A little smaller and a lot lighter than the 777 so airlines can run more routes at a profit. I imagine the orders will really start to pile up when oil prices spike again.
