Happy Valentine's Day

Off to Midwest for Valentine’s Day. My bags are packed and I am all set to go. I will be meeting her for the first time since my Michigan admit – so I am sure we are going to have a blast. I am thinking about all the activities we are going to do together – an evening walk along the riverside, drive to the nearest ski resort and try our luck in skiing and snowboarding (and probably break a few bones too!!), tickling our culinary buds in one of the best Italian restaurants in town, an afternoon at the movies, boozing with some of our very close friends and party all night (and then wake up with a bad headache) as well as some serious conversation about our plans for the future. [The last part is not fun at all. Believe me!!]

I am going to have some pure unadulterated fun for the next few days and take my mind off everything – I still haven’t got to enjoy my Michigan admit with anyone so I am not going to let go this opportunity. I just finished my tax returns for 2003; damn, I have to start on FAFSA and finish it before the March 1 deadline. I have to think about so many things before I go to school. I am sure I am not going to get a penny from Uncle Sam since I have some cash stashed away in Savings especially for Business School. But I don’t plan to touch it – rather I will take a loan and keep the money as a safety.

The blogger community is doing really well. Naveen is in at UCLA, Luvshack is in at Yale, me at Michigan, Potter is waitlisted at MIT, ChunkyPitBull is waitlisted at Berkeley and FutureMbaGirl got the interview invite from Wharton. We haven’t heard from Joey for a long time, probably he is busy vacationing in some remote island in the Bahamas. PowerYogi and Tripenel are going all guns for Round 3. Folks!! 4-6 weeks more and the wait will all be over – probably we should think about an exclusive get together of the blogger community in the near future – It would be really interesting to meet you all in person.

And yes, Happy Valentine’s Day.
