I want Georgetown PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 26 February 2007 06:35
This weekend I did a lot of reflection on what I want. And it surprised me that I really really want Georgetown. I was all talk early on about the big name schools. Not that Georgetown isn"t a big name but it"s not the typical name associated with a top 10 b-school. Anyway, I just kept thinking about the opportunities I would have living in D.C. to work in policy related non-profits. Plus every Georgetown student and alumni I spoke with while there was so impressive. And I think since the MBA program at Georgetown is relatively new, it"d be nice to be able to take part in shaping the program as it grows and matures. Plus the students I spoke to at Georgetown spoke so highly of the academics there. And I want more than just a networking group in b-school. I really really want to learn the fundamentals of managing a non-profit. I have a lot to learn and I want to have a high quality education in an environment that I feel comfortable as well as in an environment that will provide me with a lot of opportunities. So now I continue to wait...and hope.

As I wait for word on my fate I think it"s nearly impossible to stop my mind from going down all possible "What if..." roads. Most frightening of which is the "What if I don"t get in to Georgetown or any other school". What the heck am I going to do with myself? I know in the end something will workout. I always manage to make things work. But I don"t want to have to make something work. I want to move out of the area, I want to be a student again, and I want change. Major change. I want this new career. Right now I still feel like an engineer trying to pass as a public affairs person. I want to be in this job, I feel like I"m pretending right now because I don"t feel like I am contributing as much as I could be. Please just let me get in to school...I don"t want to think about all the "What if..." options anymore!

OK I think this gloomy Monday morning is making my head go a little wacky. Maybe I should have slept in a little longer this morning...

What is it that you like doing? If you don't like it, get out of it, because you'll be lousy at it. You don't have to stay with a job for the rest of your life, because if you don't like it you'll never be successful in it. - Lee Iacocca
