My baby's first bib and T-shirt from Yale SOM

The director of the Yale SOM hold a baby shower for me at her house this afternoon. The dean of Yale SOM prepared a special gift for my baby, a baby bib with Yale SOM print. It is so funny. I also received my son's first Yale T-shirt from a friend. There are great memories.

Here are the photos, enjoy.

Here are thanks notes from my unborn baby:

Thank You From Baby

I'm really glad that you could surprise my mother today.

I know I made her tired by carrying me to all the classes and events.

Thanks for waiving my tuition at Yale.

I have been enjoying my early education at Yale SOM,

But it is too early for me to decide my career in 2030.

Though I'm not here to thank you for the special gift you brought

My family and I are grateful...

We appreciate the thought.

I'll be arriving shortly

and I will visit you at Yale SOM!

I want to say that

I do love my first bib and T-shirt!

Love,Baby

The first month went so fast

What a hectic week I have for this week! 7 homework due before Friday including 4 writings, 2 accountings, 1 probability, and 22 corporation events. Plus we are having 7 core courses lectures at the same time within 12 weeks. Each course has one or two lectures each week and homework. It is the first time I make the best use of Outlook calendar and try to fill up every space each day from morning 8:15AM to midnight. Of cause, I do not mean that we do not have any personal free time. But if you want to get the best out of each day and from what the school is providing, if you want to find a good internship job and full time job, then you make yourself busy and try to show up at each valuable event.

Since I am lack of sleep, I often woke up 15 minutes before the class, and drive to school although it is only 15 minutes walk and 3 minutes drive. In the past month, I went to bed after 1AM. Sometimes, 3 to 4 AM if I cannot finish the homework. Many classmates look so tired this week. Me, worse case with 32 week pregnant. I feel so bad for my boy but I cannot help. The only wish I have now is that I can have one day sleep without worrying homework. Maybe I will need wait until the winter break.

Even I am so tired, I still went to almost all banking presentations at lunch and evening time. I also enrolled the communication workshop, and went to one-to-one writing and oral English coaching sections whenever my calendar showed some space. I think it is the most valuable education I can get from Yale SOM. It is free and coached by a few professional language experts. The communication skills and language skills are my weakness. I got back my 50 pages analysis report about my English skills. I am so surprised that the report provides me so many details about each component of my language. I feel lumbersome in my career if I cannot improve these skills. I also tried to go to the club events, leadership speeches, and case interview workshop. Sometimes, I felt so hard to keep my eyes open during the meeting, but I thought as long as I sit there and hear something, I will learn something new. I am so eager to learn more new things in business and finance industry from my two-year MBA. From the past month, I am opened to so many new things, concepts, and new opportunities, which excited me. I cannot imagine what the other school like. But I feel that I chose the right school for my MBA.

Tomorrow, the director of Yale SOM will give a baby shower for me and the other student at her house. The faculties and schools are so helpful and support for my pregnancy. I am trying my best. I feel that the efficiency is so important now. As I am approaching the late pregnancy period, I need priority my tasks and try to get more sleep.

Oh, time goes fast. 2AM already. I need go to bed.

Tommorrow is the other busy day!
