The answer to my problems...

Is applesauce! Who knew! I love cooking, and you know how other people need to work out in order to prevent them from becoming cranky? I have that with cooking. I love thinking about what I'll cook, looking for recipes, going grocery shopping (one of my life-maxims is that I never try to leave a supermarket without buying at least one item I've never bought before), the chopping and slicing and the stirring and tossing. I dunno, but I find it terribly relaxing. And last week was a bit on the hectic side, so dinner was either non-existant, or a quick sandwich. Needless to say that the lack of cooking added to my general feeling of crankiness. Tonight I decided to cook a nice meal for myself, and I made the most fabulous (even though I say so myself) applesauce for dessert. With a little help from mum, I must admit (she's a fab chef and I couldn't quite figure out which apples she uses for her applesauce but a quick call home sorted that problem). I feel human now! What a difference applesauce makes...

007's are gearing up for our final week of the first term, which promises to be one of the most manic (well, at least for me). There's the Managerial Economics take-home exam which is released on Monday, and this Saturday we'll sit the Financial Accounting and Managing Organisational Behaviour exams. And then, on Saturday night after the exams: Santa Claus Pub Crawl! On this occasion, 400 students and staff of London Business School dress up in Santa suits and go on a pub crawl. It is apparently THE event of the year, and I'm so definitely going!

One last thing before I return to crafting my Financial Accounting crib sheet: tomorrow night at 6 local time (London time that is) Accepted.com is hosting a chat with London Business School adcom and students. For more info, see the accepted.com website.
