I decided to switch it up and hit my gym’s weight room yesterday. There was definitely more than enough testosterone in the room. It was funny because at one point, one meat-head looking guy got into an argument with another meat-head guy over who was first at one of the work-out machines. Security had to come to arbitrate the dispute. In the end, both guys were still bitter and were trash talking one another…haha. As for me, I was hitting the free weights and the pull-up bar. I think I was in there for like a good hour and a half. So you can imagine I’m feeling pretty sore and tired this morning. I feel like I was beaten with a stick while I was sleeping…ugh.
I received an invitation to the M.B.A. Information Reception in New York City on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 from insideMBA.com. I decided to register because curiosity got the best of me. That plus the fact that I want the full bschool research experience. Besides, it doesn’t hurt to meet other MBA aspirants. Maybe I’ll pick up a tip or two. The two schools that interest me so far are University of Rochester Simon and of course NYU Stern. Unfortunately, Columbia will not be representing, which makes sense. I’m actually confused as to why NYU would be representing in the first place since the school is located in NYC. Why would they even need a presence there? Anyway, if you happen to see a tall thin Asian guy during the reception, it’s probably me. I promise I’m actually a cool guy in person : )
As for my BSchool recommendation letters, I’m trying to push one of my recommenders to hurry his along. But not too much though, I do want a positive recommendation after all. There is still plenty of time until Columbia’s Early Decision application comes out. I just want to be one of the very first ones to submit. Maybe it’s time for another informal lunch get together with him? I know he’s busy because he just got back from vacation. And so is probably trying to catch up on work stuff and emails. The good thing is that he works like four blocks from where I work. So it’ll be easy to set up a lunch. I basically want to gently stress to him how important this is to me. I’ll just have to see how he is coming along by next week.
