Ok it is time to get in shape!

I am finally done with school, so guess what? No more school gym access for me. I through about buying the pass for a semester, it would come out to be around $145. I have been debating myself if I want to pay for it since I am not sure where I am going to be in fall. It was a hard decision, but I am going to skip it. I sure will miss the Stairmaster and the Indoor basketball a lot. In the mean time I will try to replace it by playing outdoor basketball again and do more stadium.

I just signed up for Crossfit in Brea. The price was $200 for 45 days, it is a bit steep but I always want to try it and I think it will push me a little bit. Not sure what few weeks of Crossfit would do for me, however hope it will prepare me for a great time in a half marathon, and help me jump higher so I can reach the basketball rim. I did a try out session yesterday, but my official start date is next week. I will for sure update my experience with Crossfit.

Took another step.

I been extremely busy the last month due to school and because of my injuries, I stayed away from weight lifting over the summer. However I will mention that I finally completed my MBA. It took almost 2 years; with some luck I am now officially done with school. MBA was a bit more challenging than I expected. Compared to undergrad, I definitely had to put in some effort, and sometimes I had to spend a week just to prepare for a midterm. My MBA gpa was decent, around 3.15 just a bit over the 3.0gpa requirement for the degree. I didn’t care too much about getting good grades, since I am 99.9% sure that I am not going to pursue a higher degree.

This is my capstone group for my MBA program.

A lot of people been asking me if the MBA was worth it, well I am not sure yet. But I think it is like everything in life, it depends on how you present yourself with it. I can see there are students from the program that won’t benefit much from it because they are extremely shy to express themselves and they won’t try too hard to sell themselves, however there is other group of students that I think benefited from the program greatly. Hopefully for me I can use the MBA to find a career that I want and I can use the degree as an advantage in my career.

The leader of my MBA group also my workout partner over the summer. OK now that school is finally over, I can focus on my fitness goal again between now and my career start. I will update this blog more frequently this month.
