Well, I decided today to stress a little bit out.

Right now listening to AC/DC: "It's A Long Way To The Top". Later will do some jogging, and at night will have dinner with my wife and some friends.

Tomorrow I'll resume the application process...

What about you? What are you planning to do this weekend?

I have Monday off, wohoo for 3 days weekends.

Spent this morning changing the foglights, battery, and alternator/power steering belts on my car.

Going out for sushi for dinner.

I spend Sundays with my Mom making food and watching football. Good times.

My weekend is already half way for me. :( Went out drinking with co-workers last night and just came back from a wedding party today... all in all, pretty eventful and fun weekend. :) I feel I have destressed myself a bit since Tuesday and so I will spend some time tomorrow working on my apps again.

Happy Bday!

I hope everything has gone well!

Well, from my side plans have changed, will resume tomorrow, partied hard last night, so today was a recovery day. I'm putting my photos in order, going for my hobby.

Tomorrow I will certainly resume application...

Slackers... All of you.

Just kidding... i've reached total application burnout. I'm starting to conceptualize everything in my daily life in terms of a business school application. For instance, this morning on a bike ride I was thinking of the adjectives I could use to describe the determination and work ethic of a competitive cyclist...

Sounds like it's time to take a break, which I should be able to do so after I finish up Tuck for wednesday.

The brainwashing continues once you get to school. I was calculating expected values of buying a washer used over new. And I asked my doctor for a confidence interval of getting a correct diagnosis when he wanted me to do an MRI.

You don't have time to stress out anymore in school

Here's my day today:

5.30am (original wake up time, I've just hit snooze)
6.30am (now): Wake up, slowly get out of bed
7.30am: Breakfast at school
8am: Complete homework if possible
9am: Meet with Big Name Consulting Firm for coffee chat
9.30am: Meet with team to prepare for final rounds of case competition
11.00am: Present to panel of judges
11.30am: Run to car, drive to downtown, find somewhere to park and grab a bite to eat
1.15pm: Join a firm for a "Day At" event, shadowing people. Miss class as a result. Pray it wont impact my grade.
5.30pm: Social drink time with this company, but I need to leave as fast as possible to be back in hyde park for something else...
6.00pm: Back at school, 3 hour kickoff and networking session for an entrepreneurial challenge thing
9:00pm: Drive home
10:00pm: Complete any remaining homework
