I have been down with some viral infection for the past couple of days. Spent two whole days sleeping and reading intermittently. Fit as a fiddle now and back to blogging.
It is 9:30 am, a bright and sunny morning and I am sipping my first cup of green tea. I have just spent a precious morning hour reading MBA blogs, one that should have been spent cracking quant problems. Bad bad girl! I cannot help myself. The addiction to blogs and forums is ever growing and I seem to be in a trance, unable to control it. Behind all this is not just a thirst for information but more so, a yearning and envy at all these successful applicants. I look for some common thread that would indicate that my chances of getting into a dream school are bright. What I really want, I think, is some sign from the heavens that I am not blindly day dreaming. Thats all I have been doing in the past few days anyways - day dreaming. It really is time for less thinking and more action.
My research has inevitably revolved around building an alternative transcript. I have been unable to shortlist a more suitable school than UCLA extension. Now, I am mulling over the right time to enroll in these courses. I do not want to tackle them in parallel with GMAT. That still gives me a month to mull on this. I wrote to UCLA extension asking for their next enrolment dates - a couple of the courses I am interested in are closed - and I have received no reply. I hope some clarity dawns on this.
I have also decided to modify my work hours a bit. My work timings are flexible, the only consideration being client meetings that may be scheduled late. I intend to take these meetings from home. From tomorrow I will go it to work at 8:30 am and come home by 6 pm. This will give me a religious couple of hours every evening to GMAT prep. I can obsess over blogs during lunch hour. :)
Have to, have to be more disciplined. Now, off to work!
