The Finish line (sort of)

Question

I took the GMAT last summer.

I started updating my resume this July.

I started writing my essays in August.

In September a friend who went to Kellogg read my essays and tore them apart so I rewrote everything.

I submitted my R1 app to Ross 2 days before the deadline.
I submitted my R1 app to HBS 2 days before the deadline.
I submitted my R1 app to Kellogg 6 hours before the deadline.
I submitted my R1 app to Sloan 1 hour before the deadline (yesterday afternoon).

And now ... nothing.
No essay to write
No school to read up on.
No test to study for.

I got home from work yesterday and I cleaned my apartment. I broke out the PS2 and played guitar hero for the first time in 8 months. I went out and drank way too much on a Tuesday night(don't worry, I walked home). I browsed the web and I didn't have my long term career goals and my most significant leadership experience, or my more significant accomplishment, a lesson I learned from a mistake in the back of my head.

Nothing.

And its driving me nuts.
Maybe I should find a new hobby.
Or pick a random school for R2, just for the nostalgia.

:-D

Sorry, I had to vent.

I bet you checked your email about 200 times in the last 3 hours though!

Gil · Answer

Do what I do.

work for 10 minutes. Check your e-mail. Go on Gmatclub. Check my school websites to make sure the status hasn't changed regardless of the fact that I did not receive an e-mail. Work for 20 minutes. Check your e-mail. Go on Gmatclub. Talk to a co-worker about how excited I am about B-School. Work for 20 minutes...

I think you get the hang of it:)
