“A dreamcatcher hanging from a rear-view mirror.
I daydream a lot while driving (not in a dangerous way – just quick, random thoughts), thinking about what I’d like to do, whom I’d like to be, etc. I guess if there was ever a good place to catch dreams, it would be in the car.

I will be revising and/or revisiting this post from time to time. The goal is to go over what classes I’ve taken at the Leavey School of Business and why I’ve taken them when I did. Perhaps a useful roadmap for others. Perhaps not.
Some facts – I started in Spring 2007, and am pursuing concentrations in Managing People and IT, Leadership, and Entreprenuership. I am also going to take some classes in the International Business track. The concentrations don’t really mean anything – it’s unlikely someone will hire you to manage an IT department because you took the first of the concentrations I indicated. But it helps guide you through your electives, to be sure.
In previous posts, I have talked about how I approached my choice in courses intially, and how that has subsequently changed. This post takes it a step back and perhaps upward – looking at why I took courses in a particular order. Some of the reasons are not mind-blowing – right professor, right time, needed a few more units, etc. The ones that start to show up more as you get later in my time at Leavey are the opportunistic ones. Taking a class because I managed to get in. That’s where the electives really get interesting.
This post is kind of long so I’m breaking it here
