No Wharton interview invite yet :(

Been off internet, apping and blogging since I turned in the Ross app. Well mostly. Been socializing big time - met up with all my friends @ home. Came back to this dirty city only a few days ago and generally been chilling, reading, and meeting with my friends here.

But today, I am feeling very restless! There's been no forward movement on my apps since the Columbia interview. I had promised myself that I wont freak out about it this yr, was even able to hold myself together for this long, but now I am getter all jittery :((

Feeling the most scared about W - only 8 more days to go and I am yet to hear from them. :(

Even Darden has been sitting neat and pretty in Pending status since 21-Oct!

Ross - there's still time.

Duke - Got a mail asking me for my preferred location for the alum interview, but they interview everyone, so that doesnt count.

My name is Hobbes and I obsess over my apps

A scene from a room full of people undergoing pschyotherapy for OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Asif - My name is Asif, when entering a room, I switch the light on and off 5 times, otherwise aliens will abduct me
Bhaskar - My name is Bhaskar, if I dont take a leak 20 times a day, I will not go to heaven.
Christina - My name is Christina, I have to enter the office only from the back entrance.

Hobbes - My name is Hobbes, I keep thinking and thinking and thinking about my apps.

HEEEEEEELPPPP!!!!!! I am obsessing over my apps!!!

I know we all eat, drink, sleep and live apps, but for me its going beyond that - beyond the point where it would be productive. I keep thinking about it so much that even during breaks I cannot stop my thought process - as a result there are no breaks and its hurting my essay writing process now :(

Waving bye bye to social life

But whats the point, its already gone far away... so far away that there's no hope of it coming back in the near future. :(

Damn this admissions process! This lack of a social life is killing! Last night there was an office party, and for a change, it was well organized. I decided to go for it as working on my apps has effectively killed my social life. But even after reaching there, I couldnt shake my mind off the essays, the app, the transcripts, TOEFL Waiver etc etc etc! I hit the dance floor thinking it would be better once I let my hair down.

BUT NOPE!!! Even while on the dance floor, my mind kept wandering off to the apps. BAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! So finally I decided to leave after 1.5 hrs of pure torture. And not the least of all because there was this cute girl at work that I wanted a dance with, but didnt even approach her because I knew I wouldnt be able to make any civil conversation with her, I'd bore her to death with all this. :( :( :(

Pleez tell me you guys are also going through the same. I will definitely feel better if I am not the only one. :) I know atleast one other fellow applicant who is : MBABabe

Freaking out now :(

Just read on BW that some ED students already got their admission decisions, they've been admitted. Congrats guys!!!

But thinking about that is freaking me out :( Waiting is always the worst part of this admissions game.

Blogging Hiatus in the MBA Applicants' World?

So it seems I am not the only one not blogging as often as I used to. I have been checking my fellow applicants' blogs, and strangely (and then maybe not) everybody seems to have gone into hibernation. Looks like all the kids are working hard on their apps. Good luck!

Sleeping :zzzzzzzzzzzzz:

Phew! Been a long day for me. Woke up at 3:30 AM, yes thats 3:30 in the morning, to catch a 6AM flight to Mumbai. But just as I was abt to step outside to go to the airport I got a msg saying that the flight has been postponed to 2:30 PM. WTF!!! This wasnt acceptable to me, so had to reschedule the meeting I was gng for and got the tickets cancelled. Then had a 4 hr marathon meeting today for an awareness campaign I am working on for a nonprofit. Been a crazy day!

The only good part is my boss called up today with the sal hike figures and boy am I happy!!! :D YIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :D

Am a happy child!

I sent my Columbia drafts to a friend and the review wasn’t all that bad! The goals essay needs a bit of work; I am incorporating her feedback and then will send it to another friend. Hopefully it will pass muster there too. :)

My Darden drafts didn’t have it so good though. I am yet to begin work on the goals essay - need to cut it down to 500 words from the present 1100+. The diversity essay had huge holes, huge enough to pass an elephant. :| But the third essay's (what would you do if you didn’t have to work) revu was good.

This is a quantum leap from last yr. I hated writing essays then. But this yr I am finding myself enjoying the process (how weird am I)! Have no clue as to what changed from then to now. Except, of course, I have the luxury of time this time around; last yr I started the whole process of school selection etc only in Nov. Was traveling from Sept onwards, when I finished my GMAT, till Nov. And then my roomie decided to get married in a hurry, even before I could come back. So the moment I landed back, I went searching for an apt. And then came Diwali. So went home for that, and finallllly started the process arnd end nov.

Phew! Dunno y I wrote all that!

And hey, do chk out the daily cartoon! :)
