Going Home.

I'm leaving the US for the first time in two years in about seven hours. I haven't blogged in a while because things have been so hectic. To start with I finally took the GMATS last weekend. Taking it the last weekend before I leave was definitely cutting it a little close but although I was ready to take it the weekend before that, those plans were cut short by analyst training.

I don't have to think about work for at least a whole two weeks! (I did promise I'd check in and check email daily when I could though...) Yesterday, I went out with a whole bunch of people from work to a bar to celebrate everybody leaving on vacation and the successful outcome of standardized tests.

Incidentally... I scored a 780. The GMATs are scored cumulatively out of 800. My math score was 50 and the grammer portion was 48. Not that that means anything to anyone who hasn't taken the GMATs. I'm just so relieved that I don't have to take them again. I guess the sad thing is that singapore has probably prepared me for standardized testing. Simple skills like sitting through a 4 hour long exam has been ingrained in me through force - rendering it slightly easier for me now to do standardized tests than for most people I guess.

Now I have to decide what I want to do with my life. If I apply to business school, where do I apply? What do I study? And what the hell do I write in my essays?

Sometimes it seems like every decision I make is a decision to put off the real decision of what to do in life. Before I know it I'll be old and gray and I still won't have done anything I wanted to do with my life.
