on the end of summer and the GMAT
The sound of the rain outside is simply hypnotic today. The heavier it pours, the more inclined I feel to go home and wrap myself in my warm sheets (Gain scented, of course) and cuddle with the bichon. I mean, obviously I should study for the GMAT some tonight but there's a certain drowsiness that rain creates. Quite similar to the effects of benadryl actually.
It's quite weird right now, studying for the GMAT. The majority of people I talk to/hang out with are people I've known since college. I don't know if it's an intentional choice on my part or not. I feel like I'm in academic mode so I'm spending time with and talking to the people that help me feel like I'm in that environment again. The good thing about it is that it's helping me actually do my work. I feel capable and smart. I'm so ready to take all of this on.
Additionally, I feel like it's given my life this 'back to basics' makeover. I can't help but notice the lack of drama from my life lately. While I'm a bit nervous about the exam, I still feel oddly calm and at peace. Like life is simple and makes sense and absolutely should be this way. There is a good balance going on right now and I'm so happy. I suppose this is a very good thing since applying to business school and then attending will probably significantly change my life as I know it.
Lastly, in case you don't already know, yes I have joined twitter. Why? I like tweeting the important people in my life (Emma Bunton, Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Jordan Knight, NeNe Leakes, Mollie King (from the Saturdays), and Taylor Dayne to name a few). It might seem silly tweeting celebrities who rarely respond to you right? (For the record, a fake Ashlee Simpson has already tweeted in response to me posting a negative quote about her) But as I was following Taylor Dayne it dawned on me: she's doing the exact same thing. She's tweeting Perez Hilton and Kelly Osbourne. People who don't respond to her whatsoever. So on one hand I could look at it as sad that my sole reason for being on twitter is to tweet celebrities who really don't care about anything other than their ego. Instead I choose to look at it as, at least I have as much celebrity-pull as Taylor Dayne.
