Time sure does fly...

Two years ago around this time I was ready to graduate from Florida State University. Graduating is one thing, but being ready for post-graduate life is a different story. For the duration of my last semester at FSU, I spent most of my time trying to stay focused on getting at least Bs in my courses, having fun, and going to Athens, GA to see my girlfriend at the time.

Turns out I would not find a job til six months after graduation. I can still remember how I felt every day before I received that e-mail from my current manager about an open position. Lifeless.... thats how I felt... I felt like I had no purpose.. like I was doing nothing productive with my life. Then finally with a huge stroke of luck.. I had a great opportunity appear before me on my way back home from Georgia seeing my girlfriend, which may have been the last time I would have seen her because I was going to move back to California to job search... When I say luck... I really mean it. The e-mail I received was to my fsu.edu account, which should have already been disabled already, since I graduated. Fortunately, it was still functional.. had it not been still active I would have NEVER received that e-mail and would probably be back home in California working at McDonald's or some shit as place.

So where am I going with this? I think I am kind of back in that mindset I was when I was looking for a job. Now that I am working... life is pretty routine. I wake up at 6:30am or 7:10am... get ready... take my dog out for a walk... leave for work... work... eat lunch... work... come back home... take my dog out for a walk... eat dinner... chill... go work out... take my dog out... chill.. sleep.... REPEAT.... i mean recently I have been getting to know some co-workers well... and have been going out... but... a lot of them are on rotational programs and will be gone soon... they'll eventually be back in Orlando... but that wont be for a long time... anyways... Now.. I am searching for whats next... I feel like i should be friggin married... I own a townhouse.. (thanks mom and dad, mostly dad) I have a dog, own my car.... im just missing a WIFE. hah. .

I eventually want to go back to school for my MBA... I think I have a goal of getting into University of Florida's internet program. Yes, I know.. UF... I mean its a good business school. But I will forever be a Nole and never claim myself as a Gator even if I do get into the business school.

The problem is... its hard to get out of this routine... and start studying hardcore for my GMAT.
Which will be very important in getting me into UF's MBA program.

sigh...

So.. yeah...

What now?
