So Happy

I'm so happy it's Friday. What is it about a 4 day week and time seeming to move slower? It may just me who suffers from this, but I've been thinking it's Friday for two days now. I think I just want it to be Friday that badly :). I think the whole weather cool-down (went from 90 degrees to 54 degrees overnight) and the Monday holiday... It's just combined and made me wish for a weekend to slow down and cuddle up with a good movie/book/blanket.

I also am ready to get out of the office. I can't concentrate for some reason. Perhaps the erratic sleep pattern I've had this week has contributed to the issue. Who knows. This week I went to 3 evening presentations, which meant I wasn't getting home until 10:30 ish. I went to a Kaplan center and took a practice GMAT (which I did well on), then I went to a University of Michigan Ross School of Business Presentations, and finally I taught a Marketing class. And I was so overbooked, I had to schedule more stuff after those evening sessions (such as searching for an apartment).

So, I love where I am living right now. But the commute is killing me. Not that I would stay at my friend's parents' home forever. Anyway, the main thing is I keep thinking that I won't 'figure' out what I want to do with my life driving in my car. I want to reconnect with me and my interests. Of course, the drive did help me figure out one thing... I'll never want to be a bus driver, taxi cab driver, truck driver, etc. You get the gist. I hate being in a moving vehicle (and even more so, traffic) for a few hours a day, let alone ALL day. :)

So, today is Friday... I don't have too many plans. Actually to be exact, I have ZERO plans. I've been craving going to the theater and watching a movie. But I think I will fore go on that... my self imposed budget no longer allows for such things. I do need to find an apartment. My sister just e-mailed me and told me she may be assigned to a Chicago project for a few months... in which case, she thinks I should stay with her. But, I don't know if that's a good idea. Living in a hotel room... Would I just be putting off the inevitable?

Okay, so this post isn't really that amusing or enlightening. It's just a day in my life... or in my head. Sometimes I think that's why I'm so nuts... look at how much is going on in my life and in my head. It would stress a Buddhist monk out. :) Okay, that may be an exaggeration...

Easy Breathing... and not so easy

I guess I am happier now that I am out of Big-Bad-Corporate-Consultant Life. I feel like I can breathe and be quirky again... :) Not that I wasn't doing this before, I can just do it freely now. It's hard to explain... and yet not so hard. Anyway, I think Chase has let go of me and I have let go of them. We are each other's past...nothing to be too attached to.

Well, life right now is the same as always... I'm commuting way too long to work, which wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have other things I wanted to do with my time. I'm also running in 10 different directions, but not in the ways I want to be. I want to take a painting class... and a Kathak dance class... but, when you spend 3.5 hours on the road, you run out of time in your day. Or you keep spending your weekends traveling... eek, the time flies. So, Step One - I'm looking for a place in the city. I have some possibilities, so hopefully I'll have a place by the end of the month. There is one apartment that has 2 guys and 1 girl already living there. I'm not sure about living with boys... Being a good indian girl, it is not something I have done before. The other place would be me and another girl, but the other girl is thinking of just finding another place to live... so, that's not definite. In the end, I'm sure it will end up being a budget driven decision. Step Two - Applying to Grad Schools. And then Step 3 - Taking my classes... This may happen concurrent to Step Two. So... great plans, we'll see how well I pull them off.

Right, so that's all the news I have for today. I'm excited that I scored free hot chocolate from Starbucks... did I mention it was FREE. :) I'm not a cheapie, but it's always fun to get a little something for free.
