A month from tomorrow, I'm moving to Chicago for business school. In preparation for the big event, I've so far done/am doing the following things:
* Received as a gift and perused a Not For Tourists: Chicago guidebook. (Who am I kidding? I will most definitely be a tourist when I arrive. Field Museum, Here. I. Come!)
* Looked at a map of the Chicago Transit Authority El trains at least once a week to marvel at the fact that there are multiple, different stations with the SAME NAME. (Riddle me that?)
* Taking a wretched Statistics class at Hunter College (alas, this bullet point warrants its own post because it is such an embarrassment to higher education. In fact, another post-bac recently leaned over to me in class and said, "You know, when this is all over, we're going to find out we've been 'Punked.'" ...ne'er a truer statement uttered.)
* Filling out forms (health), and forms (financial aid), and questionnaires (career leadership skills) for Kellogg. Was asked, for instance, to decide which of these statements most characterized my ideal job: "The position allows ample time to pursue other important aspects of my lifestyle (family, leisure activities, etc.)," OR, "The position offers consistent intellectual challenge." TOUGH ONE!
Another week begins, and I vow to be more diligent about this here blog. Happy end of June, all!
