Back on the application trail

Jan 30, 2007 14:29

Well, I'm back to applying for college again. Seems so long ago when I last applied to graduate school. I'll be applying at ASU, and probably Univ of Phoenix as a fallback, for the Fall '07 evening MBA program. I'm actually fairly excited, well, except for the whole taking the GMAT and writing 3 essays part of it; the actual schooling, that I'm looking forward to.

I think having something to do is a big part of it. Right now I'm working on a split life schedule. I get two little periods of 3-4 hours before and after work, and then fill the middle of my day with redundant and neverending calls. I'm trying (in vain) to get my shift switched to earlier in the day so I can return to a normal life. I'm sick of waking up tired (not exactly a morning person), rushing to work, going home tired, and bumming around till I start the whole process over again.

At least I've been getting regular exercise. Between my nightly workouts and regular trips to camelback I've been feeling more alert and energetic. If only I could hypnotize myself into doing the multitude of tasks I always claim I want to do. I get home and my body just wants to relax; couch out; veg. This leaves my mind, which wants to read; write; explore; create... horribly disappointed.

I need balance. Video games to weights. Cigarrettes to meals. Toys to thoughts. Short ignorant quasi-sentences to long sprawling fragmented mind numbingly complex overtly pseudo-intellectual keyboard spewings. Errr... perhaps I should pass on the last.
