I can't believe that countdown in the top right corner has gone from 100+ to 9 days away. I guess I'm as prepared as I can be while living life with all its distractions and stresses. If anything, studying for this GMAT has shown that I am ready to be a student again, and I can indeed achieve this sort of study rhythm that I always saw in others but never experienced myself. Who knew 25-minute GMAT quizzes would fit so perfectly into the my now 4x daily North Station/Brookline commute?

I don't know how well I'll do or if I'll even get into any programs, but hey, at least I tried. And after all of this is said and done, I get three glorious weeks off to go home and to visit the motherland. I have never needed a vacation more, and I am really looking forward to eating stinky tofu every night and seeing where my parents grew up.

Thanks to each of you for your encouragement, support, and even for purposely not seeking me out so I wouldn't be tempted to not study. I'll be back to my old self soon. In the meantime, Boston the Boston Terrier who lives in Boston has a lot of time on his hands and updates his blog frequently.
