Waitmania & Pottermania!!!

Hey ppl,

The Wait Is A Killer......
I had heard this a million times by the earlier applicants and thought at the back of my mind that the "airtime" given to this topic was certainly overhyped..... I used to think that "How hard can waiting be?? We'd immerse ourself in work and shall not feel a thing."

I stood corrected....

During the day, my work keeps me busy and I am actually happy to give my full time and energy to my work (benefit #113: Becoming an entrepreneur) rather than endlessly fretting over deadlines and daydreaming about miraculous essays.......... And there is a good reason why I don't have internet connectivity at my office....

But the madness begins at nightfall....... The moment I come home, I check my mail only to see that page "0 unread messages" for the millionth time........ I frantically check mail every hour or so only to be dissapointed by inactivity.........

So, to pass time I open up my copy of Harry Potter e-book (all books 1-7, which I very conviniently ripped from the net)....... It is a puzzle to me that how could I have missed such a masterful piece of literature........ Maybe I had dismissed HP series as "only for children", a ghastly mistake....... :P......... The awesome world of Hogwarts is fascinating to say the very least....... I totally used to forget that I'm an applicant who is currently in a state of uncertainity and so pissed off by that........ the time was passed in a dizzy uptill now, because, yesterday, I finished reading the seventh book, I actually screamed with joy when Potter used "expelliarmus" to repel Voldermort's "Avada Kedavara" to kill the villian......

But today, the aura of uncertainity surrounds me yet again...... yet again I am reminded by the empty mailbox that my future two years are still uncertain...... yet again I check my mailbox every half an hour or so.......... I am waiting desperately for Hagrid (read acceptance mail) to come and relieve me of my miseries (read the eternal waiting)........

Waiting still......

Peace

UCLA interviewed

Hey All,

Today I interviewed with a UCLA alum in my city. I had already met him earlier (when I was researching UCLA, hence underlining the importance of alumni meetups..... go see your alum now, he may be also your interviewer). So, there was a sort of comfort level between us. Anyways, he stuck to the sandard questions (Why MBA, Why now, Why UCLA, Goals, Strengths & Weaknesses etc.) and apart from the occassional nervous stammering, I don't think I goofed up on any of the major points.

All in all a satisfactory performance. I m pretty excited about UCLA..... If they select me (all fingers and toes cossed), it'll be like a godsend....... the wait continues.......

Peace
