I MUST STOP!!!!

I don 't know who these people are, but all other people that blog about applying to MBA programs are intimidating. I NEED TO STOP READING THESE BLOGS! It is a sick weakness. I feel compelled to read them all the time. It is seriously taking away time from my studies. I know that I am a non-traditional candidate and the majority of these people wouldn't even consider doing a MSW/MBA dual-degree if someone paid them to, so I should stop torturing myself. RIGHT?! But it has become my favorite form of procrastination, since my knee is on the fritz I can't sweat it out.

I won't even comment on the perfectness of the people on the forums. I am becoming jealous, so I need to stop before I lose sight of all my former confidence. Everyone pray for my knee to get better, because I am turning into a neurotic, obsessed, weirdo.

In other news, I got my ticket to Americorps Pre-Service Training. YAAAAYY!!!!! I am so excited about starting with Habitat. It has been so long since I have had an exciting and challenging job. I can't wait. I have never done program development, so it will be an entirely new beast to slay. I am also excited to work in economic development. I have never had a job that falls so closely in line with my long term career goals. It looks like it will be a promising year starting with an orientation in Hot-Lanta.

Full Steam Ahead!!!!

Today I am officially starting my GMAT prep, I am going to take my first practice test to get an idea of where I stand. I am hoping it isn't too much of an up hill battle. I need to get around 700 at least to get into one of my target schools.

I have never really studied for a standardized test before. When I to the SAT's and the ACT's, I was a freshmen and got a good score, so I wasn't really worried after that. Also I started getting migraines my junior year so my focus on everything vaporized. This is an entirely new experience for me. I am really excited to have something to completely focus my energy into and dream about. It has been a long time since I really wanted something. The apathy that comes with chronic pain isn't something that is easily explained. After overcoming part of pain, now I feel like I can tackle my goals again in the same way I did when I was young only with more determination and strength

Fill ya in when I take the test...lets see if it is going to be an long climb...urgh! Hope I am ready for this.
