My understanding of MBA can be traced back to last June 165438+ 10. I found a tutor online and got to know Elaine, a student of the tutor. She is preparing for the MBA of Jiaotong University and asked me to help her with her English. We all have online classes at night, and Elaine's foundation is not very good. She said that she envied my English so well and kept urging me to consider studying abroad or studying for an MBA. She said that if I got good grades, I could get a scholarship.
So, at that time, the MBA planted seeds in my heart. She told me a lot about MBA, and I searched a lot on the Internet myself. I also paid attention to the official WeChat account and signed up for the MBA training class. I saw that articles were often published in it. She was admitted to Jiao Tong University Antai, Jiao Tong University Jingao, Fudan University and Tongji University. How could she not be moved?
Time flies. By the end of September this year, I was still hesitant to take the MBA, because it would be too late if I didn't prepare. At that time, I had just finished taking the PMP exam and thought that I should have nothing to do before 1 month, so I made up my mind to start preparing for the MBA.
Because I am a student of Foreign Languages Institute, I have been paying attention to the part-time borderless management major of Shanghai International Studies University, and I think this is very suitable for me. On the last day of September, the Internet applied for the pre-re-examination of 65438+ 10/5. There are two rounds of MBA now: interview and written examination, and both of them must pass.
I remember it was a Sunday when I went to Shanghai. It's raining lightly and I'm wearing a formal suit. The weather is really cold. The second round of group interviews was ranked by last name, and I was helpless to come last. So it was past 6 o'clock when I came out of the upper and outer rooms, and then I took the subway many times and came home very late. After the interview that day, I felt ok. A week later, I got excellent results. Then wait for online registration and prepare for the exam. As long as I pass the written test, I can go to school.
The month of 65438+ 10 is a bit tangled. I studied integrated management without borders. When I found out that I had passed the pre-retest, I signed up online. The deadline for registration this year is 0: 00 on June 65438+1October 3 1 day.
In the last few days of June 5438+00, I saw on the official WeChat account of MBA training class that they would organize a public welfare model test on June 28+00. So I signed up, and the biggest gain that day was to know Feitian, a classmate sitting in the front row. After he knew my situation, he strongly suggested that I report to East China University of Science and Technology. Because Huali introduced the scholarship policy this year, tuition fees above 230 points are free. I just found out that I only want to go abroad (I don't mean to belittle going abroad here), so I ignore other schools. He said that this year's interview in Fudan Tongji was very simple, but I could actually try.
After the exam that afternoon, I had a long chat with my classmate ChristianRandPhillips. He is very realistic and thinks that I am too naive and think everything is too simple. I have to say that he is a few years older. I really learned a lot from the perspective of seeing things and thinking about problems. During the chat, he asked me many questions. Do you really want to do an MBA? Do you want to take weekend time to attend classes in the next two and a half years? What are you going to do with the tuition of more than 200 thousand? There are so few foreign scholarships. Do you really have to rely on loans? I still have to pay the loan myself. I don't have a boyfriend at this age. If you study with a loan, it will definitely have some influence on the future. ...
When I came back that day, I thought a lot and consulted the teacher in the training class. At that time, I was still very worried and felt that it was risky to report the country. Because Huali can only apply for the batch of 165438+ 101,if you can't guarantee an excellent interview, you won't get a scholarship even if you get 230. Besides, 230 is not that easy. If you don't get a scholarship in the end, you can't go to Shanghai, because Shanghai doesn't accept transfers.
The days before the registration deadline are really tangled. I compared Shanghai International Studies University with Huali and asked my friends. The penultimate day, I also called Huali Business School. The teacher patiently answered my question on the phone. I found myself more and more interested in Huali, so I changed the online newspaper to Huali on the last morning. I chose the most expensive major in Huali, the part-time French international class, with a tuition fee of 25.8W W W.
65438+1October 3 1 I made a lot of decisions that day, changed my volunteering to report to huali, and called my junior high school sister and mother who had been a tutor for one year to ask her to quit. I also spent 5k+ to enroll in MBA training class, and I have considered it before, but I have been reluctant to give up the money. Although I have a good foundation, I can't do logic at all. I happened to listen to the logic class of this training class before, and found that the teacher spoke very well. It is difficult to get high marks by studying hard, because there are many technical things that can't be done without guidance. So, from the weekend of 1 1.4, I go to the city for classes for two days on weekends, and sometimes I have classes at night. The teacher in the training class speaks very well and is very responsible. They also organized three mock exams.
Then I will prepare for the exam with peace of mind. On the day of Double Eleven, I went to Huali for a pre-retest. After about a week, I found that it passed smoothly.
MBA students have to take two exams, comprehensive and English. Among them, synthesis includes 65 points for Chinese, 75 points for mathematics and 60 points for logic; Total English score 100.
When preparing for the exam, I also looked at the preparation guide for seniors and sisters to see which textbooks and how to arrange the review time reasonably.
165438+1October 5th, the first mock exam,165438+1October 9th, I found the results. Although I crossed the line, I was still far from my goal and my English was not as good as expected. So I really worked hard, set a goal for myself, posted it on the wall at home, and looked up every day.
From the 45-day countdown, I only sleep about 5 hours a day. I usually get up at about 6 o'clock in the morning and get up as soon as the alarm clock rings. Because I am used to bringing rice every day, I quickly cut the dishes and put them in the pot for frying. I started washing again when I was busy here, and it was almost the same when the meal was almost ready. If you go shopping once a week, you will buy food for a week and put it in the refrigerator. I usually arrive at the company around 7 o'clock every day. I had been reading for two hours when others arrived at 9 o'clock.
At noon, everyone will spare an hour for reading and exercise at night, but the exercise time will be shortened. Get something to eat after exercise and continue reading in the company. Go home after 10 every day. Because it is very cold at home, the rented cabin has poor sound insulation effect, and people in the next room can hear talking, watching TV and surfing the Internet. I like reading quietly alone. Even if I have classes on weekends and no classes at night, I usually go to the company to read books.
In the end, the more I feel that time is not enough. He appeared in his seat at 7 o'clock every day in the last week and left the company at 1 1 in the evening. It's usually 1 1: 30 when we get home. Wash it every day, and keep reading until late at night with a small desk lamp on around 12. Sometimes I feel very bitter and tired, but I feel very full inside, because I feel that I am fighting for my ideals.
He has always been a good student in the eyes of others since he was a child. I am a so-called schoolmaster, but I am a liberal arts student after all. The two courses of mathematical logic are too difficult for me, especially the arrangement and combination of mathematics and probability, which gives me the most headache. The math in high school is basically returned to the teacher. After listening to the math teacher's class many times, I felt that I understood many questions, but I wouldn't do it if I changed one. Logic only has 20 points at the beginning, and after completing a set of questions, it is completely confused, because few questions are confident. Preparing for the exam is really tiring. Sometimes I obviously feel that I have read a lot, but the problem is that I can't do it well, which always makes people doubt life, but I just insist so foolishly.
Most girls like shopping for clothes. I can't remember the last time I went shopping or the last time I had a weekend off. Because I have to work from Monday to Friday, I have classes on weekends, and I study in the company at other times, sooner or later. The circle of friends is no longer dynamic, rarely likes it, and doesn't like chatting with people very much. A little friend came to talk to me, but after a few words, I didn't want to talk because I wanted to read a book. Only a few friends who often chat are classmates in the training class and ask each other questions.
Frankly speaking, during this period of preparing for the exam, my heart was very tormented. Sometimes after a day's class, I will fall asleep on the subway and bus when I go back at night. Occasionally, I will buy a piece of Christine's cake on my way home to treat myself. When I go shopping every week, I also match vegetarian dishes. I hope it's not too hard The decision to study was entirely my own idea, and I didn't tell my family. Every time I call back, they will ask what they are busy with, and they just cope with a few words. A friend I haven't contacted for a long time chatted with me and asked me what I was busy with. I don't want to say anything until I get the result. On the one hand, I have always been used to keeping a low profile, on the other hand, I also want to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, or my grades are not as good as expected. I have a little hobby, and I will send some personal friends to cheer myself up.
Looking around the students in the training class, almost no one took the exam three years after graduation like me. Most of them are married and have rich work experience. Chatting with them, they said that my present age is a good time to study, so I must cherish it. This time, because of the firm goal, there is not much social interaction. So many people in the class are basically familiar with only Sam and Ann, the left and right deskmates. We often eat and chat together. When they encounter problems, they will encourage each other and feel like like like-minded comrades.
Sam's eldest brother lives in Kunshan. He has signed up for the basic class since March. Every time he takes such a long subway from Huaqiao, I admire his persistence. My first impression of Mr. An was a bit of a dude, but when I came into contact with him, I felt that he was also very motivated. He is good at probability questions, and I always ask him.
I didn't book a hotel in advance because I couldn't sleep well outside. I got up to tidy up the alarm clock at 5: 30 yesterday morning. It's still dark after 6 o'clock, and I'm already on my way to the examination room.
I thought I was almost ready, but the exam really depends on various factors. I'm sorry. I posted the bar code wrong as soon as I came up, and I was a little confused. The invigilator left me a message saying that you were responsible ... and yesterday morning's synthesis was really difficult. Math was too slow, there were too many logical words, a lot of reading, and there were two Chinese assignments that I couldn't finish in three hours. In short, after the exam in the morning, I was already desperate, thinking that I could recite English in the afternoon. However, what can I say? In my opinion, this year's English questions are not very good either. Although reading chapters is simple and there are few new words, the topic is really bad. Either it is too simple, and the answer comes out after reading the meaning of the exam questions or articles, or it is wandering around without focus. After all, I am also an English major. After passing TEM-8, I took an examination of translation and interpretation, and read all kinds of English papers. Even if my level is not higher than the quality of the paper, I can still make a general judgment. Yesterday, I read several versions of the answers that were madly transmitted on the Internet, and sure enough, there are many different versions.
I tried to find someone to eat after the exam yesterday, but I didn't find it. Because my family is from Kunshan, Brother Sam can only apply for Suzhou test center, although he also applied for Huali. Ann applied for the Maritime University in Pudong. I really want to talk to my friends, but I don't think they will understand my feelings, so I went to Xinzhuang alone and went home.
Elaine, the tutor, didn't get in at all last year. This year's World War II, she said that no matter what the outcome, she finally passed. Feixiang students themselves have a good foundation, but they also said they didn't do well in the exam. It is estimated that they will come back next year. Hui Hui (I met her in the second interview) also said that there is no hope this year, and she may come again next year. Brother Sam said it was impossible to get high marks, so he probably crossed the line. Ann said that after reading the answer, she could consider coming back next year. I really don't have the courage to answer questions except English. I thought about it in a few days, but I couldn't help watching the pot when I saw the crowd explode. It should be okay to cross the line, but I should miss the scholarship. Maybe World War II next year, who knows. I chatted with my friends who were preparing for the exam last night. I'm so tired that I can hardly lift my eyelids. I fell asleep without washing, because I was really tired and didn't sleep well for many days. But I can't sleep when I am very sleepy, and I feel that another battle is over.
I don't know what changes MBA will bring to me. I remember a teacher abroad said that when you don't know what to do, go to school. In this era, reading at any time is the best investment for yourself. At noon yesterday, when I was eating in Huali canteen, I chose a seat facing the sun by the window. Later, a sister a few years older than me also sat over and we chatted for a while. In the chat, I learned that my sister had participated in the Huali Adult Education Examination before, and now she still wants to study after work, so she came to sign up for the examination. My sister said that it would be great if she consciously chose to study at my age. I am very excited to hear the news.
Busy and full, with regret and progress. I finally made up my mind to give up some unworthy people, participated in various activities and made many new friends. Learn to spend money, invest in yourself in all aspects, learn to make up, and learn to dress.
1, from the beginning of the year, driving alone with trepidation, it is no problem to drive on the highway alone now. I often drive to class on weekends, and Evcard has driven 100+ times.
2. I learned colored lead painting. I liked painting very much when I was a child, but I put down my brush for a long time. I find it difficult. In fact, I really find it interesting to start writing.
I bought a new bathing suit and brushed up the breaststroke I didn't learn last year.
4, adhere to yoga for one year, from the beginning of yoga Xiaobai to the current Xiaojiaren, almost uninterrupted classes every week.
5, fitness, mainly running. Thanks to the company's gym, I can go to the gym after work every day and go to the nearby Jiaotong University for a morning run on weekends.
6, read 30+ books, including financial management, literature and so on, and gained a lot.
7. I got three certificates: English translation and interpretation, PMP.
8. Prepare for the MBA exam
There will be new plans next year, hoping for a breakthrough.
Next, I will relax myself, travel to Thailand on New Year's Day, and change Thai baht at the bank this afternoon, hoping to meet better myself on the trip.
20 17, still haven't met the right person. I hope 20 18 can find an arm to lean on.
On this evening, the teachers and students of the training class had dinner. They are all busy studying before class. I hope everyone can have a good communication today.
Attach some photos to commemorate the youth walk ~
