------------------------- Intro-------------------------Hi again, Greetings again from Montego Bay, Jamaica! I finally started my MBA studies this month- really excited! BUT (a big but), I am equally conscious of the long hours I'll have to put in. In fact they told me I need up to 20 hours per week! How will I manage that with a full day job, an active website to maintain, plus my active community involvement? ...Pray for me. On the positive side though, thanks to this very website, I dashed the idea of taking a loan to pay for my tuition- my website is/will be taking care of my monthly installment! By the way, I have some really exciting news to announce next month so please don't miss the next edition. So, what's the latest on Jamaica? Lot's of stuff! I'll waste your time no more, |
