i'm back
i've been so busy lately. i took my summer vacation this past week, and spent most of the time running errands and getting ready for school, and still haven't finished everything. at least i only have a few more forms to hand in, and a couple of books to buy. during my week off i also had some fun, i went with my sister to nanny our cousin's little boys, did some shopping [target, of course!], visited my family, went to coney island, and read books and wrote in central park. i also did lots of walking around the city, which i love.
this past weekend was pre-term orientation for my program at nyu. i was excited for school before, but now i can't wait. i was dreading having to spend two full days of my weekend watching presentations and doing stupid icebreaker games, but it turned out to be great. i met so many friendly and interesting people. it also helped that we had a giant happy hour last night!
[apparently nyu is very big on the happy hours, and there are multiple events per week...all of the continuing students and panel members kept nonstop talking about the happy hours throughout the weekend.]
in other news, i have been interviewing for a new position and received an offer for an offer. they told me that they want to hire me and asked if i want the job, to which i said yes, which in turn set the approval process wheels in motion. they have to have everyone sign off on the offer before they can present it to me, which can take up to three weeks. keep your fingers crossed that the approval process goes smoothly and quickly, so i can give my notice and get out of my miserable job asap!
i've come to realize that i really have had no patience with my life. at the beginning of the year i was a little discouraged that things weren't going my way at all. so i set some goals for 2007, and have almost met them all! i did well on the gmat, got into the school of my choice, and now am getting a better job [not to mention a bit more money--every little bit makes a difference!]. the year is halfway over and i've accomplished so much. and there is still so much left to do! i'm pretty excited about the months to come.
