Grad School Becomes Me (again)

Due to some inexplicable reason, I forgot to mention that I am a Graduate Student at NYU. Yup, and I’m working on getting my second Masters Degree. Pretty neat for a 23 year old :) Nope, I am not precocious, nor am I the super-smart-nerdy-and-scholarly-type of gal. I just know what I want and I work my way from there.


It is challenging (yet very fun) to be thrown out into some unfamiliar city, to interact with people who are more familiar with the city, to try to learn and familiarize oneself in the environment, and eventually be one with the whole familiarity concept.


When you think about it…Yes, it’s from the Boardroom to the Classroom. From Client meetings to Study groups. From Monthly Salary to Monthly Allowance. Is there something wrong with the picture? I don’t think so. There definitely is no amount of demotion happening over here. I view my going back to school as a step to self-improvement (how cliché!). As when I graduate in 2 years’ time, I will be more learned and more valuable – academically and in corporate.


With my fingers crossed behind me, I will land a job that I am passionate and knowledgeable about, at the same time, one that will pay my bills, my travels, my needs, my wants, my rent, my dinner, my shoes, my black SUV, my “pasalubongs” and education for my kids. (Haha, I’m just kidding! I’m not that selfish!)


Let me rephrase: I cross my fingers to land a job that will make me live life as I love it.


Anyway, it’s that time of the semester when projects are piling up and Finals are slowly crawling in. This is just one of those blogs written just for the heck of it. I will be extremely busy the coming days, but I’ll be back as soon as my papers on my study table clear up… and if I have identified if two means that are statistically significant would or would not denote a more profitable source for a direct marketing campaign. And if I should conduct a one-tailed or a two-tailed test, using either Hypothesis Testing or Confidence Intervals. And if the error rates associated with the confident interval is Type I or Type II. Hmm… should I undergo Sample Size Estimation first!? Something something. (Oh, that’s just my Statistics psyche babbling) Whatever.
