I would so like to write something. But I really don’t have anything to say. I hate those meaningless blogs which keep going on and on endlessly, without making a point. But this one is sure going to be one of those, I think. Advanced Courses are so packed with activities that coming back to real-life is such a DRAG. Laundry, unpacking, cooking, clothes, cleaning… blah. The weather is dull and grey; such a contrast from glorious Miami! It’s raining today and the place is bathed in a grey light, raindrops all over. I’m currently reading Flowers for Algernon which is not exactly the cheeriest book to read in such weather. Just finished watching one of my favourite films, Shakespeare in Love which served somewhat to alleviate this state of vacancy and boredom. Maybe I should chuck this Algernon thingy and move on to Like Water for Chocolate. Oh, hell… this has turned out to be one of the most boring days ever and I can’t believe that I’ve actually gone ahead and blogged about it.
A piece of news, cheery if you want to call it… I got an admit from Goizueta Business School with a scholarship to boot.

Hey Locks, congrats and wish you the best for the degree (MBA I presume). The New Year is certainly bringing a lot of cheer in your life (I ignore the bored mood icon for this post. Perhaps sometimes even contentment leads to boredom!).

Whoa! Congrats!!!
Of course this is cheery news. And you get to stay at home as well (assuming this is your first choice, OR being able to stay at home matters a lot to you). Either ways, this is what I would call a DEAL deal!! Cheer up, Locks π

hey!
the ‘course’ should have made you more ‘centered’ not give way to moods π
I thought you would be more like a flame in a lantern – burning steadily, showing the path, oblivious to the storm raging outside. que?
