update after one year ..

Its been one year since I posted on this blog or rather any of my blogs
i used to post on .. I cannot put the blame on the lack-of-time for time is something I have lost value of over the last few months ..

Anyways just to update, I did gave GMAT finally and with all the hard work I mustered in about 5 weeks of serious preparations, I barely manged to get a score .. alas I am still not satisfied
since I couldn't cross the 700 mark.

Since then I have changed bases, and I am now in Canada ... the work still sucks but the
only difference is that the work-pressure is much lesser.

I have easily slipped into a much laid back lifestyle and although I must admit that has been quite enjoyable .. I have now seriously started hating myself for doing so.

I need to pull my socks and give the exam again, and obviously the kind of schools I am aiming at
demand a much stellar performance than merely crossing the 700 mark. I have the wisdom from the last trial at GMAT and my experience at CAT .. all I need is a drive, a fire in the belly and stick up my ass ... to push this through ;)

As for fire and drive its taking a lot of time... and I guess the best to get all three is to take a test date. As of now I am on a week-long vacation at a friends place in US, but the realisation of wasting the last 6 months is seriously hitting me on the head now. I have to wake up from this slumber, I have to start the preps damn seriously and start working on the applications in the next 5-6 weeks !

I hope to maintain this awareness and keep up the drive ...

all the best all us MBA wannabes !
