Springtime in California

It's been over 80 degrees F the past three days. I love California. Remind me again why I was so desperate to leave California for Washington D.C.? I can't remember at the moment, I'm too busy shielding my eyes from the sun. Oh yes, it may have something to do with some sort of business school situation that I can't seem to remember??

I'm trying to fool myself into pretending that I'm not thinking about my decisions every second of the day...I haven't quite succeeded though.

Still waiting from all three of my remaining schools. I imagine I will be getting my rejection email from UMich tomorrow. I have no clue about Anderson or Georgetown, I did the voluntary interview at both of those schools. Therefore, since I submitted my application there has been no indication about my progress with those schools. C'est la vie.

Even though I am boasting about the lovely weather we have here in the good old Bay Area of California, I am dieing of seasonal allergies. Sunday was probably the worst allergy attack I've ever had in my life. I spent most of the day curled up in the fetal position in bed crying because I hadn't yet started taking my Zyrtec and Flonase. After taking three Benadryl and about 4 Advil (allergies caused a sinus headache that I could have sworn was a tumor about to explode in my head) I finally fell asleep. Monday morning I called my doctor to get prescriptions for relief. At this point I could easily step on my soap box and discuss the huge mess we call healthcare in California and why we desperately need healthcare reform (in particular SB 840, introduced by Sheila Kuehl) but I won't. Instead I will say how Zyrtec doesn't have a generic form yet and has just cost me $234. Flonase, thank goodness, has a generic form and cost me a mere $10. And before you suggest all the other drug options out there (Claritin, Allegra, Singulair, Alovert) don't bother, I've been there done that. The only thing that works for me is Zyrtec. And I refuse to spend another beautiful spring day curled up on my bed crying over my allergies. So instead I'll just cry about the cost of relieving the allergies. OK enough of that nonsense.

Another day closer to decisions! I'm off to the trails with my dog.

The east coast is the least coast; the west coast is the best coast. Everyone knows this!! ;) I'm sure you'll be able to survive two years of b-skool anywhere (look at me, trying to go back to Michigan; what's wrong with me?!)

I'll be in the Bay Area this weekend having a nice little ding party with my family. Who knows, though -- maybe the folks in Ann Arbor will surprise us both. :)

I live in a country where we only have two seasons --- sunny and rainy. And we go to the beach over Christmas break. So I'm actually up for any kind of climate change when I go to b-school.

Best of luck with your applications! =)
