Last night was my last night of class for my MBA.

The last class I will ever, ever take.

I don’t want to learn anything. ever. again.

Not even in conversations. Hell, from now on I’m not gonna even learn names- the people I meet will be required to carry little chalkboards with their names on them, which they will present whenever I must address them.

My last class ever went out with a bang.

I had to negotiate a deal on behalf of my section of the class which involved keeping a corporation out of bankruptcy and absolving the owner of personal liability for some shady and stupid business deals. it was the final class and my turn to show off my skills- see, I’m a bit of a master debater.

And that my friends is precisely why I showed up, um, howyousay, three sheets to the wind. These kinds of deals require a precision which can only be attained after hours spent at the bar across from the business building. You have to be dedicated.

Not to fear tho- I was the ninja. I negotiated the crap out of that deal- whilst throwing out some of the most vulger and obnoxious jokes the MBA program will ever hear again I’m sure.

Afterwards it was back to the bar to celebrate my academic freedom.

It’s funny. All this schooling and I’m no more mature than I was in the 6th grade.

    Congratulations! Any chance there is a transcript of that last class somewhere? Sounded like quite a time

  2. Pete Says:

    Congrats, slut. If I ever need a drunken negotiator, I’ll be sure to look you up.

    true adkins form

  4. Shane Says:

    Wow, that’s great. And now after this year is over, I’ll only have 1 more year for my BBA. Then I have years of more school to look forward to before I get my MBA. I think I’m gonna start drinking now.

  5. Current Student Says:

    Congratulations Ed. I too have 7 years of school under my belt… only, I haven’t even gotten my bachelors degree yet… but hey, who’s counting right? And I’ve only got a year left! So theres something… Doin’ it, doin it… By the way who the hell is Pete? Whoever he is, he said the word ’slut’ which makes me laugh. Because I like funny words… poop! ass! hahahahaha.
    Pete, great comment, you are still the master.

    ni dice on the transcript khandi. at least not until i have my diploma in hand.

    too many incriminating details.

  7. lu Says:

    Congrats! As I’m still a year away from even beginning my Masters program, could you please just humor me and tell me it will all be over before I know it? Thanks, Ed, you are a good man.

  8. Becky Says:

    Alright MBA Ninja! Congrats on finishing. I had a huge wave of relief when I finished in Summer 2003, and I didn’t have a newborn baby either! Wished I lived closer for the May 13 bash.

  9. Shanti Says:

    congrats dude!

    a master debator huh?
    that probably took hours of practice in your home watching other debating shows, like jerry springer and such and such.
