Partner Case Night

Our time here in Boston has been jam packed.  If Andy isn't busy, then I am.  One of the unique opportunities I had was to attend a Parter Case night.  The major part of Andy's curriculum here at HBS is Case Studies.  They are given different cases to study and then they discuss them in class the following day.  Sometimes he has one case a day (which is rare) and other times its two or three cases a day (which is more frequent).  It is much more difficult and time consuming than I am making it sound.  Each case can take 2+ hours to get through and that isn't including doing financial calculations, answering questions etc.  Needless to say, Andy spends a lot of time studying!!  

Anyway, the partners club here on campus sets aside one night were partners are given a case to read and study and then attend a class with other HBS partners.  The case they gave us was very simple (they were being kind) and of course the classroom setting was much less stressful than what Andy usually experiences, but it was fun all the same!  

There were a group of us who all went together.  It was nice to get a glimpse of what Andy is doing all day, and makes me appreciate the work he is doing! 

Here is our little group!  These ladies are fantastic and we have enjoyed being able to spend time with them and their families.  We have made some wonderful friends here.   

Although I thought case night was a lot fun,  I can honestly say I'm glad it's Andy that's going to class every day and not me!  haha.  For now I will stick with wiping the butts and faces of my children.
