What is draped in fog, enchantingly mystical, and renowned for its stubborn, indomitable spirit?
Most of you know Richard is in the weekend MBA program at the University of Chicago. He is actually getting an International MBA, which involves a mandatory quarter spent abroad as an exchange student at a partner University’s MBA program. (As well as fluency in another language-yay missions!) We decided the best time for us to study abroad was this fall, and after careful research it became obvious that the best partner school available for Richard’s areas of interest and maintaining the same academic rigor as Chicago Booth was the London Business School.
Because LBS is far and away the best choice for a rigorous finance-based foreign exchange program, that seems to be the placement that every student applying to study abroad wants, making the application process extremely competitive and nerve-wracking. However, Richard was just awarded one of the ten slots available to the Booth part-time and full-time students, as an exchange student this fall at LBS!! WAHOO!!!
Once past the biggest hurdle, he needed to get the okay from his manager to take an educational leave of absence from work, and a couple weeks ago we finally got the go-ahead! England here we come!! I am so excited I can’t hardly stand it! It barely feels real. I immediately started planning fabulous road-trips/train trips/boat trips throughout Europe for this fall. (I know from experience how much time Richard is NOT going to have to spend with me-lol) So, anyone who’s ever wanted to see Europe on the cheap-now is the time! Hopefully we will get an apartment with enough floor space for anyone who wants to crash for a week or two in London. Hey, we might even have a couch…
Bath and Wales, handsdown the most authentic experiences. Bath for Jane Austen, and Wales because hello, ancestral homeland. I sincerely regret not going to Scotland too. Sweet, Letty, you're going to have an awesome time!!
ReplyDeleteHey Letty! Mary and I were thinking about traveling to England and visiting the places were my grandfather grew up. Maybe we'll have to plan. Danielle Tennant
