My journey up to and through the full-time MBA program at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario from May 2008 to April 2009.
Blog is "finished"
Thanks for reading. I've decided this blog is finished. It has served its purpose for me and I hope others will find it useful as either a reference for their own research into MBA degrees or for nostagic ends as they remember their own past journey through an MBA program.
All the best,

Good work. Keep it up! Blogging during the program is a tough job, and you have blogged consistently. You deserve it!
Thanks! I know you understand just how difficult it has been to blog and be in the program since you did it yourself. It is good to be recognized, but the real reward comes when I get e-mails from the next cohort telling me how much this information has assisted them.
