Getting My MBA at 48

In Pittsburgh, with a Dilemma

I am here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were it is cold to some people, 37F chance of snow. It looks nice from the window but not sure today would be a day I wanted to play in the snow.

But back to the dilemma, I need to work on my essays for school, but I also need to pick up more hours (money), So today do I go back to San Francisco or stay in Phoenix?

San Francisco, I could get some studying done, sleep in my own bed but use up a lot of hours just commuting back and forth or Phoenix where I could get some studying done, sleep at a friends on the couch and have all those extra hours I wouldn’t be commuting for studying.

It is tough, like I have said before I feel home lost.

I know that I need to get both things accomplished school and work, and this trip though it looks good and no early morning check-ins, I have only been able to exercise and get some studying done.

I tried last night but the internet here at this hotel in Pittsburgh reminds me of the good old days of dial-up, slower than slow.

I do like Pittsburgh, I like the view out the window, but I feel Pittsburgh is fading like Detroit, because the corporations have moved out leaving the cities and people to fend for themselves.

Sad there is so much Rich American History in both places.

Time to finish getting ready and fly to Phoenix. I’ll let you know what happens.

So I opted to stay in Phoenix, I picked up a trip that reports at 5:40 a.m. in Phoenix which means getting up Thursday morning at 3:00 a.m. OUCH!!!

So flying home last night just to have to fly back this afternoon would have been hard, and long hours. Staying in Phoenix, my friends are great and even though I always sleep it not a good sleep.

But I am thankful
