Hmm. This looks like a nice club to join.
I've been admitted to Kellogg. I wasn't expecting a call so soon, so it was a fantastic surprise. I was shaking with excitement for minutes afterwards. I wanted to tell everyone, but then told no one. I got the call towards the end of yesterday. I finished my work and headed home, still a little in cloud coo-coo land. I called my brother on the way home and left an answer phone message. He texted back later, "well done, but what did you expect?". Err... dunno. I called my sister; she was thrilled for me. I'll probably tell my parents later today; it will depress them that I've escaped the marriage conversation another two years.
On my route home there is a West Cornwall Pasty place. The warm cozy smell of freshly baked pastries and pies emanates from there. I had been resisting the urge for over a week, but decided to tuck in on a Chicken and Mushroom pie. I felt so guilty afterwards, when I got home I got on my rowing machine for 20 minutes. I then started emailing and calling my friends.
I can feel the rush of my life path wooshing in a different direction. The weight of the debt is also starting to dawn on me. Part of me has started thinking, "you're giving up a reasonably well paying and highly secure job to take on something in the region of $160k of debt... during a financial crisis?". I really need to make sure I make the most of any MBA.
