Hey! Where did my friends go?

APPLY TO BUSINESS SCHOOL!

Critical Reasoning Update:

So it's 11:44pm on Saturday night and I've just completed my set of 20 Critical Reasoning questions.  My friends are out at a house party :-/ .  I had a friend ask me when the next time I would be available because he wanted to plan something.  I told him "The third week of November....no I'm not kidding... the third week of November."  At this point all my friends understand what's at stake.  I still get invitations to go out and I simply say "I'm studying."

After meeting with my tutor today we think we finally picked up on my issue with Verbal.  I was not paying attention to the modifiers in the passages and premises, thus making me deem correct answers out of scope!

So I was excited to try my next set of CR after our session today and I just completed it.  I am happy to report that I only got 2 incorrect out of 20.  I'm not going to get TOO excited just yet but at least it's a step in the right direction!

NYU Diversity Conference Update:

So I finally heard back from NYU regarding the diversity conference.  I was WAITLISTED!

At first I was bummed about this.  I found out at about 6:30 on Thursday while I was on the crosstown bus going home.  I was immediately disappointed upon hearing and then naturally went to that place in my head saying to myself "Well if I can't get into the diversity conference then there's no hope for admissions."  Of course everyone says that they are mutually exclusive, but it's natural for one to think that.  Then I texted Brandon and he made a great point that turned my mood around.  He made a great point.  He said "Well that's a good sign if you were waitlisted with your GPA and GMAT."  I responded with "...you know I didn't think of it that way.  So the way I'm going to interpret my waitlisted status is that NYU finds my profile interesting, but with the combination of my GMAT and GPA, there's no real way they could justify openly accepting me to the diversity conference, since there wasn't an essay."

Yes my text was about that long, but it contained some curse words because I curse like a trucker.. again... I'm from Jersey!

MBA Event - ::sigh:: another one

So I've decided to come full circle and attend The MBA Tour tomorrow here in NYC.  This was the first MBA event that I attended last year when I had no idea what I was in for.  I think I was THAT guy in jeans and a cardigan with a button down.  I remember what I wore last year because I was like "hhmm this should suffice because no one will remember me anyway since I'm not applying this year."

Tomorrow I have an agenda though...there are a couple people that I need to speak too.  Well one in particular!  Here is a preview of tomorrow's agenda...

Ok I'm gonna go take a benadryl because for this upcoming week my tutor said that I have to get 52 hours of sleep!!!!  I told him that I don't think I've ever gotten that much sleep since like 10th grade.  There's no way that I'm going to be able to do that I can tell you all right now.  That means that I would need to be ASLEEP right now.  Ain't gonna happen....just not a possibility so I'm going to push back on this one.
