Semester 5 
One year ago today I got married to my beautiful wife Jennifer. It’s hard to believe that it has been one year, not only because the time has flown by, but also because of the year that it has been.
Like any couple, there was plenty of last minute planning and decisions needed for the wedding to go off without a hitch. We decided to have a Saturday late-afternoon ceremony in August, which in the Mid-Atlantic region means “hot with a chance of thunderstorms.” The night before (our rehearsal dinner), there was rain, so the possibility of rain was in the back of everyone’s minds. After dinner, we arrived at the hotel to meet and welcome our guests, but as much of a traditionalist as I am, I actually behaved myself and drove home early (rather than, say, re-enacting The Hangover…)
When I woke up that Saturday, it was a bit of a hazy sunny morning. In keeping with the responsibility angle, I woke up early not just to make sure all of the wedding plans were in order, but also to study. Yes, I actually studied on my wedding day.

Semester 4 
Last week, I posted about the ‘other’ class of 2010 graduating, and how I thought there was an interesting, if overstated, bond between the classes. However, as one class leaves, we can’t forget there’s also an incoming CCMBA class, graduating in 2011!
Since this is not an ‘official’ blog in the sense of there’s no direct coordination with the Fuqua staff, I don’t know when the final acceptance letters are going out. But I know there’s at least some of you out there reading with admits in hand. To quote my friend Brian, a comedian, it’s time to ‘Sho ‘Yo’self’!
There’s already one member of the Class of 2011 who has contacted me, with the intention of blogging about his personal stories. In the beginning, his posts will be along side the Class of 2010d (there’s that shameful ‘d’ again!); in the near future, I hope to revamp this blog so that there are separate areas for each class, with the hope of cross-pollination and networking between blogs.
In the meantime, if there are any other CCMBA Class of 2011 admits out there who’d like to start blogging as well, send me an email at ‘admin at the-fuqua-experience.com’. Otherwise, why not leave a comment and start introducing yourselves into the Duke family!

Residency 3: Delhi Most of us are just getting our bearings back after that overwhelming trip to Delhi and it’s to be expected. India is an assault on the senses like few places else on earth, but while we were busy with the residency Fuqua has been busy getting an information session setup in Riyadh for prospective MBA students. Anyone who would like to know more about the CC MBA program is welcome. Lana Dajani, the Regional Manager for Duke in the Middle East & Africa, will be giving the presentation and I will be there as well. Here are the brief details in case anyone is interested.
