nobody blogs anymore. its all "myspace" this and "myspace" that. haha. oh well, now i'm just blogging for my own benefit.

my boss resigned today. she had a number of family tragedies happen one after another, so she was gone for almost 3 weeks. she returned today and turned in her resignation. now she plans to go on a 3 month backpacking journey with her sister through latin america. i'm jealous. i'm also sad. my boss rocks. there are certain people in life that really leave an imprint on your life and she's definitely one of those people for me. i'm sad to know she won't be here every day for me anymore to answer all my mundane questions.

i've been on a job search for awhile now. and not just talking about it this time, but actually sending my resume out. i have 3 phone interviews lined up. i don't know how excited i am by any of the opportunities, but we'll see what happens. at least there's an end in sight for me. onto bigger and better things... i hope.

i'm also building a little plan in my head for the next 5 years or so. while i know never to count on plans, its always good to think about. my basic game plan is this: start a new job where i can get some more skills and experience under my belt, take my gmat, start the grad school application process. i want to be in school by 2008 and i want to be abroad. spain has some top 20 schools and i'm leaning more and more towards international business. while living for 2 years in another country is a scary thought, it also excites me and motivates me.

anyway, i don't want to jump too far ahead of myself so for now i'll just concentrate on the most immediate things -- new job and gmat classes. hopefully the rest will fall into place on its own.
