I’m still excited about being accepted to Norwich last Friday.  I got a huge envelope in the mail with all of the school info, what to expect, etc … Its good stuff.  The student handbook is pretty thick, and I took an hour or so to read it last night.  The change in scenery is very exciting to me.

I didn’t want to seem paranoid, and I wasn’t having doubts about my decision, but just for the fun of it, I pondered for a while yesterday, wondering if I had made the right decision.  I was thinking (if only for an instant) that perhaps an executive MBA would be better for me.  There are two primary executive MBA programs here in my town.  The first one is from the University of Texas, and the other one is from Baylor University.

Both are top notch schools, so I took a quick peek at their programs.  I am certain I’ve done this in the past several months during my exhaustive search for the right program.  Now I know why I didn’t select one of those schools.  Cost!

The UT program is $55,000, and the Baylor program doesn’t even announce their price.  Common sense tells me that any MBA program with group field trips (one of which goes to Europe) is going to be out of my price range. 

I poked around a couple of other programs as well.  I think I was really looking for something I missed.  You know that feeling that some people get when they are packing for a vacation?  They will spend two days packing for a trip and then at the last minute, they will convince themselves they have forgot some important thing that they can’t think of?  That’s what was happening to me.

At the end of the day, I am completely happy and satisfied with my decision.  I have been accepted to what appears to be a really great school and the more I learn about the program, the more I like it (even before I have started the classes). I am having NO second thoughts at all!  I am excited more than I can express.

I have about 2 weeks before classes start, and my hopes of reading a few books in my copious spare time between classes is slowly dwindling.  I better get started on that.
