Pardon Me
August 1, 2007
Apparrently I’m a sucker for insanity. After receiving a recruiting call from the admissions director of a local MBA program that I’ve been looking at for years, I dropped all previous plans for starting a different graduate program next summer and started compiling an application. [what can I say? she was persuasive.] Then I scheduled myself for this little 4 1/2 hour fiesta of head-banging.
If all goes well, I’ll attend orientation in a couple weeks and start classes after Labor Day. So please pardon me if I’m absent for the next couple weeks. I’m trying to re-learn all the math I forgot in the 15(!) years since I’ve taken a math class. Also, if you see me walking around with an Algebra 1 (Grades 5- 
book, don’t laugh at me. You hear that Haddy? No laughing.
To prove that I still care about all things knitting, I’m going to put down the math book and go see the Harlot tomorrow night with some of my favorite people. If you’re going, please say hello. Here’s a recent photo of me so you can spot me in a crowd.
Thanks to Mel for the Simpsonize Me fun.

I’m a Simmons SOM grad (ages ago) - it’s still a great program; you’ll love it! Good luck on your GMAT.

good luck with that GMAT thingy. ack!
by the way, it’s amazing what your brain remembers from when you were a kid. so although you may be a little stressed by having to relearn the math, it’ll come back super fast.

*sigh* I would so love to go see Steph, but that much driving in between work nights just is not gonna happen.

Aaaaaaaaah! Standardized test! RUN AWAY!… *shudder*
Yeah, I’d need the elementary school math textbook too. No way would I tease you about that!

Walk around over here in Mathematics with the book under your arm and a confused look on your face and someone might ask if you need any help. There are black boards right in the hall for an impromptu occasion such as that.
Good luck! And have fun tomorrow night!!

Girl, please–I’d be carrying the Long Division: Grade Kindergarten book. 5th grade is advanced beyond my wildest dreams.

Oooh, Ashley beat me to the punch line. I was totally thinking I’d need a refresher course in long division first. Fingers crossed for you!

Hey, stranger! Looks like I’m reemerging (or trying to) just in time. August 10 has great vibes- the day before my birthday! I know you’ll kick ass on that thing. Oh, and I’ve been Simpsonized, too! I did the Biscuit, too, just for kicks. Have you done your little fella?

Hope you had fun with the Harlot last night, too. Whoo!
