When I got to the metro station today it occurred to me that...it's April! My last month of classes here in France. Whoa. This whole thing went by so fast it makes my head spin a little just thinking about it.

I got to talk to an old friend yesterday, someone I haven't spoken to in, literally, years. Even though we don't get to talk much he's someone I've always looked up to a lot and he put it in my head that maybe I can actually make it into a top MBA program. Apparently, women on average score lower on the GMAT when compared to men - which makes my score "solid for a girl." For once in my life, affirmative action will work FOR me and not against (not that this makes AA okay, but hey if it exists I might as well take advantage of it right?). Knowing this made me feel a lot better about everything in general because now I have A Plan again. It makes me feel like there's less pressure to find The Perfect Job right away because I can instead find a Decent Job and then go back for my MBA in a year.

Maybe I'm totally deluding myself. Maybe I have zero chance of getting into a "top 30" program. Maybe even if I did, it wouldn't help me find The Perfect Job. But I feel a bit more at peace now and that is what matters.

Also, my group has our LBO case study handled. Booyah. Now all I have left is a Private Equity case study on Wednesday and a Firm Valuation test on Friday.

P.S. I know it sounds like I'm "at peace" because I feel like I have control over things again...which is partially true, but in a way I feel like God leads me to these plans...like maybe that's why I reconnected with this person I haven't spoken to in so long - so that he could give me this information which I didn't have before. I felt the same way when I was "led" to this program I'm in right now. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and that God is behind those reasons.
