So, I have decided to treat this entry as a forum of venting...

My thoughts have become incresingly reflective over the past couple of weeks with respect to all that has been going on in my life. I have been thrown into a scenario that I have naievely hoped I wouldn't really have to worry about and (for lack of a better phrase) it sucks. The previous 3 weeks have been primarily rooted in stress and concern. I loathe situations on which I have absolutely no effect or control. I detest feeling helpless. But most of all, I hate when I see those I love hurting -- be it in the guise of ill health, overall stress, or any sort of pain. I have been really pondering over how the most seemingly simple concepts in life conjur the most complex emotions. I can't stand not knowing what to think and feel because then I become an emotional burden on those close to me. I have amazing friends -- some of which offered to move heaven and earth just to help me out for a few minutes. I have the love and support of Luis, without which (and whom) I am certain I would be lost. I am eternally greatful for all he does!! (I only hope my ever-fluctuating emotions don't push him away...)

On a lighter note, I am signing up for the GMAT today. Test date: Dec. 6th. Big step toward ruling corporate America :)...I was going to enroll in the accelerated program for my FEMBA, but I came to the realization that it really isn't all that much faster. Besides, the travel bug has bit hard...and I want to have the option to traverse the globe, if the option should so arise (...well, that and if I can save my money).

Whew!! What a cathartic experience!! This blog thing is rad...
Oh, and just in case anyone might read this drivel, I am generally not a negative person at all...Nor am I needy as such...(Just thought I would clarify...) :)

Until next we meet...

Ok, so I am starting this Blog thing...Not because everyone else is doing it...I am doing this for me...I need an outlet to channel my writing -- I need some practice -- so why not do this -- I can remember what I have been up to and I can practice some skills at the same time.
