an unlikely love story

An MBA-babe & the Stanford application = an unlikely love story?

Let's start at the beginning. MBA babe's total obsession with business school started long ago - probably back in Sept'05 when she began studying for the GMAT. Her mind had become singularly focused on b-school, which quickly became the most important thing in her life.

So, MBA babe used to have a boyfriend who already had his MBA. He was so supportive of the GMAT studying, but became a little less understanding when her future seemed to only include b-school, not the boy. Inevitably came the break-up, leaving her even more time to obsess over b-school.

As she started on her apps, she encountered the dreaded Stanford question #1: "what do you value most and why?"

It's strange - these questions really make you evaluate your life and what is truly important, huh? Was b-school really the most important thing in her life? Does it have to be? Anyway, this MBA babe has done A LOT of thinking lately...which has led to the new era of MBA babe and her boyfriend!! =) It made sense that the b-school app process broke them up, but who would have thought it would also bring them back together???

The end.

Anyway, I know this post is not really b-school related, but felt like rambling in the lull between R1 and R2. Oh yeah, and also because I am SO HAPPY (!!!), and not only thinking of b-school for once!!! =)

Also - with this new found distraction, I mistakenly waited FIVE days to send a thank you note to my interviewer! YIKES!!!!!!

BTW - thanks to Hobbes for recovering this for me! you are awesome :)
