It's been a long time since I've added an entry...I know. I can't understand why I'm so swamped of late.
At the office, I'm helping train someone who will take over a few of my responsibilities and I'm counting down the days to freedom. Yes, indeed. On my last day, I just might carry my own music around with a bandanna around my head, blasting some Nina Simone. "Bird flying high, you know how I feel!" Also, it might just be me, but I think my workload has tripled since I announced my departure.
At home, my husband is still jobhunting and that alone brings it own level of stress. Thank goodness I joined a NYSC that's on my way home! I'm tryin' to work that stress out, hear?
There have been and continue to be company events that students going to top business schools can apply for. It seems unfair, I know, that all students headed to b-schools aren't invited to consulting, marketing and other events by reputable companies. That was my first reaction, too. I applied and, miraculously, was selected to attend 2 events; I'll get back to you when I figure out why these are so exclusive.
Also, those of us headed to school this fall will all tell you that there are scores of events that we organize just to chat, unwind, and even party with each other. A good deal of these are interschool events which makes it all the more interesting.
Anyway, it's back to work for me. Can't wait to be gone.

When I read your weblog from beginning to end, I found myself supporting you. Your honesty hit home. Normally, weblog entries are not exciting (Useless at most-no offense to the others). You engaged me and did not let me down. I am extremely encouraged by your drive, dedication, and devotion. The fact that the a top business school did not overlook you is encouraging as well.
As you struggled through your decision-making process, I prayed for you. I am glad you reached your goal. I am glad you are one of the few among the few!
Finally, it is hoped that you realize that my comments although brief are shared by the many countless future business leaders. Once again, thank you for your honesty in revealing your emotions, ideas, suggestions, and GMAT scores.
Sincerely,
Rick Ortega
