Business has been slow & Advanced Algebra

I’ve been working very, very hard for the last couple of months. Not on the million dollars directly – more indirectly in the form of perhaps earning a master’s degree in the US. So now the language test is over and done with and I find myself prepping for a math test. Not really a math test, more of a how-much-have-you-learnt-in-twenty-five-years-in-general kind of test. GRE it’s called. Graduate Record Examination. AKA Oh Dear God.

It’s hard to be ambitious. Especially when the thing that motivates you is one year into the future. I haven’t even planned what I’m doing tomorrow, and yet somehow I find myself working hard towards a goal many, many Sunday afternoons in the future.

Well, not a full year. But a full 10 months.

And I haven’t even gotten accepted yet.

I will get accepted though. I see no other possibilities. With ambition comes a sense of having to be confident. Not confident always, but most of the time. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I have to believe in order to stay motivated. I propose a toast; here’s to getting accepted for grad school in 2010! Cheers, everybody, and have a great Saturday night :)
