Where and how do you spend the days before final decisions? [#permalink]

24 Mar 2008, 07:55

I am in the middle of nowhere trying to clear my mind and prepare myself to whatever happens in the nearest future. A few days ago I solo climbed a mount at 4,050 meters. Strong winds (20-25 m/sec.), frost (- 15-20 Celsius) on my way up, avalanches on the neighbouring slopes seem to have done this job very well. Now I am at 2,300 m. hanging out in the bars, checking our forums and waiting, waiting, waiting....

Wow, uh, that's alot cooler than what I will be doing. I will be sitting in my cube at work, making sure the network works and trying to make progress despite the regular resistance I face.

Chillin at worked - obviously glued to GMAT club!

Tonight I'll hopefully be at a wine bar.

It will all be over in about 48 hours.

I`m off to China on business today until the weekend, so no time to think about it fortunately.

I changed drinking to skiing and try to browse the forums while on the lifts between descends. It's sunny and windy here

I wish I were able to post the photos from mobile.

Lol...since work isn't eliciting any productivity from me, am at my work computer trying to figure out what kind of wedding dress I'd like for a destination wedding in Morocco and shifting my anxiety to whether or not Mr. Right will comply with my dream wedding!

Lol...yes and he does want to marry me... at this rate it seems easier to find a Mr. Right than get a B-school admit!

congrats. I am married and finding the right person is much more important than b-school. After being married for several years, the b-school process seemed easy.
