The pain, the agony... [#permalink] New post 02 Apr 2008, 21:41
Sorry, I just need to rant (and boost my post count :P).

But just finished with the first draft of my fellowship essays. And they're already like Biryani (which I had yesterday, yum...) sitting out for 3 days. It was SO painful to have to write another essay, let alone 4. It took me all day today, with plenty of time to distract myself with GMATClub and cleaning the house... but it's done, it's on paper, and now i just have to edit (and read the crap that I wrote).

I hope none of you will have to deal with this at least until school starts... it's definitely NOT advised! Ugh! If it weren't for the chance to get that new 2009 Audi A4... :P I hate you mNeo, I hate you! :twisted:

That's one sharp looking car. The A5 is gorgeous as well - almost reminds me of a 6-series at half the price.

yeah, the A4 and A5 will really launch Audi into the limelight. I just could not stop looking at those pictures in my magazine... it's so beautiful!

You are buying a 2009 Audi A4 for school?

Damn it, kry, I hate those essays.

Got two done, but three sucks BIG TIME, since I havent thought of myself as an entrepreneur that much yet... (which will probably not get me the fellowship anyways).

Number 4 is fricking ridiculous:

What inspires you?

Guys, what inspires you? I need some INSPIRATION! ;)

Hah and you said you liked smaller cars in the b-school life thread.
Quote from Motor Trend:
"the 2009 A4 is sneaking up on A6 dimensions (its wheelbase is only 1.3 inches shorter). This also makes it the largest in its class, nearly three inches longer than the all-new C-Class and seven longer than the 3 Series sedan"

It does look pretty damn good though. I'm not a huge fan of the tail lights though. I think my favorite A4 is still a 2005.5 in dolphin grey.

mNeo, maybe I should make you eat (read) my Biryani. :P

rhyme, I'm not sure if you meant the question for mNeo or myself, but no, I don't plan on getting an A4 in 09, but I'll probably get the 2011 model when I graduate from B-school (as a reward), and it'll be the same model, with all the kinks worked out of a new model line.

bher, yes, unfortunately it's getting bigger. I REALLY don't like that trend, but what can I do? I guess I could also check out the A1 when it comes out in 2009 and get that instead. That looks like a cool car like the Mini.

branson, sharing my pain eh? Man, the first two essays of mine suck (probably because I wrote them first), but by the 3rd and 4th, I got better and better. I actually like what I wrote in those two essays. Haha, "what inspires you" is a tough one. I ended up using ideas from my "what matters most to you" essay, since they're somewhat similar, but I had to refocus the examples to why they inspire me. Now you know how tough the "what matters most to you" essay is. :wink:

My "how does this benefit you" answer is so bad... I want to throw the computer out and burn it... I can't really come up with good ways to "show and not tell". The other three I can list examples, but I can't think of anything else to say... grr...

So what are your word counts at? I'm around 350, 350, 750, 750.
