• Edit: Sun. morn:  Ugg I forgot why I stopped drinking so
  much.  I hate waking up with a headache.  At least it's
  football Sunday.  Go Eagles!!!

  Edit Sat night 9:15pm:  Just got home from dinner thanks to a gift card from
  cvu for our anniversary.  Thanks hun!  Had a bottle of wine
  and a great steak.  Learned that it's not such a good idea to
  drive tipsy around a city that you don't know.  Man, I love
  wine.  Something about alcohol sure does calm the nerves.   
  Picked up another bottle of wine to drink back at the hotel. 
  Gonna spend the rest of the night relaxing and drinking some
  wine. 

  The reason that I've been MIA the past couple months is that I've been
  prepping for the GMAT.  After I was done with my project in
  Phoenix, I decided that it might be time for a change, and I felt that
  change might be to get my MBA.  I was trying to see what the
  deadlines were for applying next year for fall of '06 admittance. 
  I knew that I didn't have too much time, so I tried to study as much as
  I could the past 2 months.  I had my exam today and while relieved
  it's over, I wasn't too happy about my score.  Man, it was killer.  I didn't score as
  well as I had hoped and decided that it might be best that I take
  another year to study and prep to take the exam next summer.  I
  was looking forward to applying to school but with the score that I got
  on my GMAT, I can't justify spending my time putting together
  applications when I don't have a good shot at getting into one of the
  schools that I want.

  I'll have another year of work experience at least and will save a bit more
  money applying for fall '07.  It was a long shot anyways this
  year, and next year I'll be more prepared for the GMAT.  I planned
  for this contigency, and I'm not overly crushed that it didn't work out
  for next year.  It's not like I won't have another chance, and if
  I don't get in the year after, I have a plan for that as well. 

  Since I've holed myself in my room the past 2 months, it's about time
  that I get out, have some fun, and hang out with friends that I haven't
  seen in a long time.  I hope everyone has a great Halloween.
