MBA Essay Hell Continues

The bullshit. It hurts. I’m melting, I’m melting.

I just wrote these sentences…

“I believe that by returning to the classroom, I can continue to expand upon that knowledge and will learn new ways of tackling the ever increasing demands of my work… Upon earning my graduate degree in business, I will be better prepared to take on new roles and assume more responsibility.”

It hurts so much. I wonder why they have essays attached to applications. Do they really learn anything from them? If I were on the review board, I would turn the review into sort of a game show. Cheesy Essay Clichés for $400, Alex.

Alex: Organized, Driven and Team Player

Guy Who Hits the Buzzer First: What are the three most common words used in response to question 6A - “Use three words to describe yourself”?

Alex: Correct!

Seriously. What a load of crap. Okay – so I am pissed at the whole stupid essay thing, I just impulse applied to another college. I’d best get my head on straight or the next thing you know I will just get my degree, my online degree… Amazing how that song sticks in one’s head.

I’ll stop with the disconnected ranting now. I’m off to the house where I get to see Ryan for the first time in what seems like weeks. He’s been super busy with a project, and the work load is finally letting up. Yay!
