Taking a break
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 | General
I am currently taking a break from my two paper deadline. I have a 5 page reaction paper due tomorrow and then an abbreviated Research Proposal due on the 25th. I took 1/2 of today off to work on those assignments and have tomorrow off as well. It’s just so hard when you hit a wall and I’m afraid I hit it hard and fast.
Weekend Break down
Friday- Worked on the Mondavi Case that was due before class that evening.
Saturday - Class started promptly at 8am. 45 min. lunch then ended after 6pm. What an incredible day. I had a booming headache afterwards, luckily Ry agreed to meet me at Kennedy School for some adult sustenance. I had a delicious coffee nudge and a delicious snickers coffee drink (Yum). Then we went home and I think I was just pretty much brain dead on the couch for the rest of the evening. I threw in a few episodes of Firefly to escape reality with. It was nice.
Sunday I went to lunch with a dear friend in honor of her birthday. I took her to Cup & Saucer on Hawthorn. She loved it. She just got a new tattoo and it looks gorgeous, its all along her lower back. Incredible. It took two hours. Wow! I don’t think I have that kind of pain tolerance.
Then we did some shopping and I took her to Gold Door, which she loved and then to Greg’s and then the Wine Merchant, I was in search of the two bottles of wine Snooks and Sideshow gave me for my b-day. Those were incredible, I found one, I’m still on the hunt for the other.
While short, it was a VERY nice Break from School! 
After that I had plans to meet with my Business planning team to start our Business Plan at our house, Ry picked us up Pizza I ordered in advance from Bella Faccia which is fabulous pizza and had a very productive first start to our plans which is good.
Yesterday, I worked on my two papers, I got a lot done on my Research proposal project, but feeling lost with the Reaction paper. URGH.
Today- had a meeting with colleagues from my old company and from my internship. Good stuff. My old colleague and I went to lunch at Tin Shed, which was AWESOME! Free range grilled chicken cobb salad that was of decent size and by decent not Red Robin portions, but half that, realistic portions that don’t leave you feeling like a whale after eating there. The menu superb and now I know why there is always an army waiting to enter into the place at noon on both Saturday and Sunday. It is a must go!
Basically, I feel like I’ve been living and breathing MBA. I have about 5 job submittals outstanding and one in which I had a phone screen interview that I’m still waiting to hear back from. Joy.
It’s like a bitter sweet feeling. I have this time to at least spend on school and my grades are reflecting about 110% of effort which is really motivating, yet I’m missing my shoe, mascara and earring budget. I did buy some clothes but I’m trying to be more conservative and I have stock I could sell at anytime if necessary, but I’m going to keep my eye on the market and wait until absolutely necessary.
Okay, so now to continue with this long break, I’ll be going to the gym and then meeting up with Ry at Mash Tun. Since he’s got the rest of the week off for his Birthday, I know I will have ample distractions.
I think I really love distractions!
