Feeling poorly
Caught a massive headcold a couple days back and have been feeling poorly for a few days. I tried to fight it, but decided to give in to it today, figuring that's the quickest way to get it out of my system. I'm not very skilled or experienced at being sick (and am very thankful for that) so I'm not good at this. I'm too well to spend 24 hours sleeping, but not well enough to want food, which for me is a BIG sign that I'm not well. Ah well, I'll get over it with a couple of days rest and my trusty box of tissues at hand (mental note to self: must investigate new business idea: tissues that ARE really comfortable to use, these ones are hurting my nose).
BUT, all this lying around on couches and in bed with nothing much to do has given room for minor panic attacks. Why on earth do I want this MBA? I don't personally know anyone in my surroundings who's got one or sees the use for one, I'm having to sell my house (hassle), take out a loan for the amount I'm selling my house for without a good clue how I'm going to recoup the money (notwithstanding my well-thought out answer for the 'why mba and what are your career plans after graduation' questions). Ah well, at least I've given one bank manager something to talk about at the coffee machine when I walked in and asked for 100.000 euros (I can just see him standing there, telling his colleagues 'listen to this, guys, you won't believe this! there's this girl walked in today, asking for a 100 grand, for some sort of qualification and she's got no job, no house AND no way of us tracing her as she'll be living abroad... how on earth did she think we would ever give her that amount of money!!!').
[big sigh] Excuse the rant, it'll blow over once I get a decent night's sleep again.... I hate feeling poorly and I'm terrible at it!

:-) I'm not sick, but I also have those casual panic attacks about the MBA. I think it's normal to have that strange feeling in your stomach, when you're about to quit your job, give up for any source of income for 2 years and ask for a huge loan. But... I just try not to think about that. Just let it go. This story will have an happy ending. As usual.
hi,
found your blog from links on other MBA blogs. Firstly congrats on your LBS admit. I am looking to apply to US b-Schools next fall. so getting in the experiences from this years applicants.
regarding the Finances, I am sure you'll find a way and ofcourse the kind of payout you get after MBA would help convince banks to give you loan.
Tissues - i know, i get frequent colds and my nose gets really sore from the tissues!!
get well soon!!
