I don't have anything specific to write about. So, I thought I'll just give all of you an update on the various happenings in my life over the last few months.
Quite a few interesting things have happened since March and life has constantly been a roller-coaster ride. But I will tell you only about the three most important changes that have occurred.
1. ADMISSION: After spending loads of money on applications, giving several admission tests, writing innumerable essays, and giving several interviews I finally gained admission in an MBA Program. In August, I will be heading to Yonsei University, South Korea to pursue my MBA!! I know it is a little unconventional, but the university is quite prestigious, the program is well-structured, placements are good, and I am getting a good ROI (return on investment).
2. PROMOTION: After slogging for months and working my ass off, I was finally promoted to the post of an Assistant Manager!! I was definitely quite ecstatic to have that word 'Manager' in my designation :P It feels different to actually manage projects and analysts. Contrary to popular opinion, it is a lot of hard work and quite challenging, but fun at the same time.
3. RESIGNATION: Three day after being promoted, I put in my papers and resigned from my company. To be truthful, it feels weird, as I have been associated with the company for almost three years now and it is my first job. To think that I have only about a month left there, it feels unreal. Well, I had thought that the day I resign was going to be the happiest day and I am going to jump up with joy, but I have mixed feelings. I will be leaving behind some really good friends and people that have come to matter a lot to me.
Presently, I am quite busy preparing to go to South Korea. There's so much to do - Visa formalities, housing applications etc. etc. and the time is flying.
So, to take a break from all the madness, I am headed for a family vacation to Singapore and Indonesia next Sunday. Will catch-up with the blogging world when I'm back.
Ciao!!
