My GMAT Theme Song!

You know how sometimes you're going through something in your life and there's a song that you just listen to constantly that sums up exactly how you're feeling?  Well I have found this song and I'm going to play it out until I take the GMAT.  

This song puts me in a phenomenal mood and has a great verse:

"Don’t let haters get me off my grind
Whip my hair, if I know I’ll be fine
Keep fighting until I get there
When I’m down and I feel like giving up"

You know this artist's FATHER really well actually.  Her dad is Will Smith!  Her name is Willow Smith and her song Whip My Hair is my anthem for this month.  Yes she sounds grown but she's 8!!!  Here is the song if you care to listen although it's not on itunes yet - Willow Smith - Whip My Hair

So how does this song fit into the theme of my blog?  Well this past weekend I felt down.  Well just Saturday in particular after that 36 Quant score.  Lately I've been going through all of the questions I've gotten wrong in the Official Guide books.  Going through this process makes me realize that the 36 in Quant that I got on Saturday was certainly an anomaly.  There is no way that I haven't learned anything since May.  Remember - my quant score when I took the GMAT was a 36.  So it's not that I felt like giving up because shoot at this point I'm waaay to invested.  

As I go over the questions that I've gotten wrong months ago, they're so easy for me now.  That's how I know that I've learned something.  You would think that the mid 40's scores would tell me that I've learned something but noooo... it's going over my previous mistakes.  So like Willow Smith says I'll keep fighting until I get there!  

Now some may be thinking "Why is he stressing so much about the GMAT? It's just a barrier to entry!" Well for some people they stress over making themselves stand out from the crowd because they are in an over-represented group in business school.  So while that struggle may be their pain point.  The GMAT is mine - FOR NOW ;-)

I hear everyday from friends that they've been scoring highly.  Not that we're competing against one another, even though we really are, but we're all rooting for each other.  It's funny because none of us is telling the others when our test dates are.  Lol so randomly we get text messages and updates with scores.  I also have friends who are pushing back their test dates and the rounds in which they apply.  I cannot be in this group of applicants because if I study for any longer I'm going to burn out.

As long as I keep my head down and keep on the grind I feel that I will peak at the opportune time.  I haven't used the word opportune in a long time! Not sure where I pulled that from haha.

Like I said, this month is going to be HELLA busy, but I'm so excited because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!  Almost there.............
