I’m off to Arizona today and will be there through the weekend. As you may know, I’ve decided to go to Arizona State University to get my MBA, and this is their preview weekend. Even though it’s a short trip (only until Sunday), I’m glad that my wife is able to come with me. It should be a nice getaway for the both of us, and I’ll be able to see what it is that I’ve actually gotten myself into with the MBA program. So here’s a quick run-down of what’s planned for this weekend:

Tonight there is a reception/dinner at the Scottsdale Mondrian Hotel which looks to be quite a ritzy joint. There’s going to be a pre-dinner reception and then the Associate Dean and Dean of the business school will have some sort of remarks. It should be a good time, although I’m not really keen on wearing a suit to dinner. I suppose I’ll manage though.

On Saturday there are activities planned from 8 am till 3 pm. We’ll be introduced to the core curriculum of the MBA program and then have a case discussion on leadership. The Career Management Center will discuss their role in the afternoon and then we’ll finish up with what I believe to be a question and answer session with current students. We’ll then have the rest of the afternoon and evening to ourselves or to hang out with some of the people that we met over the weekend.

We then fly out early Sunday morning so it’ll probably seem like a really short weekend. Hopefully it’ll not only be a fun weekend away from home, but also an informative one. It’ll also be nice to scope out some of the surrounding areas and get an idea of where we’ll want to live once we move there.

I’ll try to have some updates for this site throughout the weekend, but we’ll see how the schedule goes and what type of access I’ll have to the internet. As a final reminder, the Millionaire “Giveaway” Next Door Blog Contest will be ending tonight at midnight, so if you haven’t already entered just leave a comment to the contest post. I’m giving away two copies of the book, and right now your chances are pretty good.
