Yikes!

So Tuck posted their essay topics this the class of 2012. Yikes.. it's on! Tuck is my #1 school and I won't even write down the things I would do to get into that school! The essay topics are the same as last year and are fairly straight forward. I feel bad for my poor friends that are going to be reading lots of essay revisions in the days to come!

Time to hit the Red Bull and get crackin on some studying.

Test Day Planning

So not to get too ahead of myself, but it looks like Sept 8th, day after Labor Day will be a good time for me to take the test. Gives me a holiday weekend off to prepare and is not too late that if I have to take the test a second time (or what is this the 5th time total?) I can before the deadlines for my favorite schools R1.

Also it is getting closer to event/reception/visit season. September is going to be CRAZY. Signed up for Chicago-Booth Reception here in NY. It is going to be a bit tricky for me to make these as they are in the middle of my shift.. but I think if I space them apart no one will notice.

My days are filling up fast.. so I stoked the house with Red Bull and Pepsi Max. I think the Red Bull/Pepsi Max diet will continue through December. Yay!

Stuffy

I bailed on getting after-the-show drinks with the production crew last night... I just can't afford the grogginess and sleeping in that comes with it. Yet I woke up with stuffy head anyways, boo. Days like today make studying extra difficult. AND I am out of Pepsi Max. Crap. I guess I need to go to Key Foods. (freaking hate that store)

Everybody leave so I can sneak in some studying!

Tonight was an Obama presser and the people that want to be seen all pile into the control room. Most people have no useful purpose being there, but watever. I finished up my real work and hid in my office until it was over. Now people are lingering. Shoo... out you go.. shoo!

... halfway.. ouch really?

So I am almost halfway through the Manhattan Gmat course and I am feeling a bit mixed about it. Sometimes I wonder if it is designed that way... to make it feel like you have made huge improvements by doing the hard stuff first.

I feel like things have improved, yet I am not feeling completely comfortable yet. Maybe I am just expecting everything right away... I don't know. I daydream about getting a 700+. We will see I guess.
