I have been out of the blogosphere the past month or so. And, honestly, rightfully so, I needed a break. I finished up my GRE Class, missed 2 of the Classes which were the Verbal portion of the Test, but I am hardly worried about the portion. The class was 4 Str8 Saturdays in a row for 8 Hrs a day. The Quant portion served very valuable. The Verbal, Geez…just going to be honest, after dealing with the Ups & Downs of work, I had to have a break. Thus, I decided to make those classes up the next month. FYI: 4 weeks str8 of feeling like working 6 Days a wk, is a lot to absorb. Particularly, if one is managing a family. I learned a very valuable lesson in time management and balance, which is spread out deep impact events. After, the last Quant course, I basically lost momentum, because I was burnt out. Literally, I have barely looked at anything MBA. But, have plugged in occasionally to keep a pulse on what’s been going on. R3 is upon us. And, I have been thinking deeply about applying R3 or whether, I should wait, Like Kaniesha Grayson, My MBA Admissions Coach advised. And, Honestly, when she first mentioned it, I thought she had lost her ever-loving mind! Lol, however, I can see the validity of her point. What will I do? That decision is TBA. I will take the GRE again. I feel much more prepared now that I have gone through the course, watched the Math DVDS, & used the study material I have by Grockit.
The primary difference between me taking the test again is that my mind is in a positive stance. I believe that my attitude towards the test was a huge adjustment. And, just reminding myself, when I do not know what to do…simply saying to myself, “it’s okay, I can learn what to do” and, what I learned from my Quant teacher at Queens, was…”ok, right now, I do not know the answer, but what do I know about the problem?” This is key. I have noticed while I am going through that I am at least getting through step 1 & step 2….so that is progress. Progress is the name of the Game. I want to thank Dan at Manhattan GRE for reaching out & seeing my blog! And, Look fwd to continuing on the journey to getting into my school of Choice and ending this journey to my “Top MBA”. Then, beginning, “The Journey Through Myself: A Single Mami’s Journey Through a Top BSchool”. I will have you know that when, I started this blog in one of the first post, I mentioned possibly getting my 2nd book out of this. I will have you know that it is forthcoming! I’m pretty HAPPY ABOUT IT! Funny thing, one of my HBS Accomplishment Essays ended up being the Introduction!! How Awesome is That!
As Always..Be LUV!Ra’
