In August 2010, I joined the Weekend MBA program at University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I decided to pursue the MBA while working full time at a mid sized digital media consulting firm. At the time of joining the program, I was 32 years old, married and a resident of San Francisco. This is a chronicle of my journey through the balancing (and often conflicting) act of a full time job, a rigorous academic schedule, demanding yet fulfilling relationships, challenging career aspirations and numerous personal lessons along the way.

Through my writings I hope to achieve two purposes - First, a constant reminder to myself of the reasons why I chose this path, especially during the times when I find myself in doubt. Second, a useful insight for people who are debating the pros and cons of pursuing a part time MBA program.
