Another one down.

The MAB Class of 2010 wrapped up the applied economics course almost a month ago, and we've been on a bit of break since then. It's been a nice respite from courses and a chance to enjoy the summer without worrying about homework assignments or chat sessions.

I've noticed a few of us keeping in touch, despite the break, via e-mails and online chatting. It's neat to see how the program has fostered these friendships over the last seven months. We're catching up on non-academic items and keeping tabs on each other before the next course begins.

Speaking of that course -- we're set to start the Optimization course this week with Dr. Bergtold. It's another online-based course, and looks to be pretty fast paced. I'll keep you posted on this one, as time permits.
