Well, one more night in Birmingham before I head to business school. My mom asked me yesterday if I was getting nervous, but my honest answer was "I haven't really thought about it." For some reason this doesn't seem like a big move (at least at the moment). I haven't moved too many times in my life, but I've moved enough so that I'm a bit less numb to the extreme nervousness and excitement. Don't get me wrong - I'm excited. But I'm more ready than excited. It's hard to believe that I started studying for the GMAT 14 months ago; it's been a long journey and I'm ready to actually do something rather than just plan what I'm going to do. I'm not sure what to expect from school - will it be tough to study again? How much time should I spend studying vs. networking vs. looking for a job? Will the career options be overwhelming or will I find exactly what I want? Regardless of these questions, I think I'm going to kill it at Duke (if Grandma and Grandpa are reading this, "kill it" means to "do very well" in the parlance of youngsters these days... crazy kids and their words).
Since I got back from Europe, I've mainly been dividing my time between a) preparing for school (admin stuff for Duke, pre-reading, tying up loose ends, etc... this stuff never seems to end) and b) reading and swimming. I've pretty much been a homebody, but spent a few days relaxing with my Birmingham friends Daniel, Eleanor, and Allen. I can't complain. Now it's time to work.
