Fending Off Procrastination
I went rollerblading yesterday, which is both my favorite way to exercise and one of the best times for me to think about things.
Yesterday my thinking revolved around my schedule - insane - for the next several months. It crossed my mind to push my GMAT studying (again!!) until January when life has calmed down, but let's be honest - the only reason things look calm in January is that it's 4 months away, and I haven't made plans out that far yet. Not to worry, by that point I'm sure I'll have planned that time out too.
Moral of the story? I will always have way too much going on. I have a job that requires frequent travel, and it will always be like that, so my GMAT studying has to fit in. I also think that this is good preparation for business school, ironically enough. I'm remembering how to juggle frantic studying, work pressure, maintaining relationships, and running (growing!) a club. It's fun, and scary, and intimidating, and exhausting, and SO exciting.
And people wonder why I'm purposefully single...I would be a terrible girlfriend right about now!

solid prep time is important. i'm sending my wharton app in tomorrow and I'm SOOO excited about b-school. how's your prep coming along?
congrats on the wharton app - that's such an accomplishment in itself!
i've actually been a little distracted - i work for one of the firms that has been in the news a lot lately with all of the turmoil in the financial markets, so my focus has been on work lately. the nice thing is that i started early enough that i can afford to have a minor setback like that and stay relatively on track!
