The life of a vegetable

It's reaching unimaginable levels.
Something beyond reason.
It has spread all over my body.
No turning back, now.
Can't move.
Can't think.
Can't do anything.
Just breathe.
Slowly.
And counting for this damn month to end.
Need vacations.
Need the beach.
The sea.
Anything but this.

PS: yesterday I made the transfer for the reservation fee. 6000 pounds. 9000 Euros. Oh god... I'm fainting again.....

Open weekend consequences

I shouldn't have let them.
I knew it.
I knew it!!
I shouldn't have let them do it!!
I should have stick to the 'i'm alergic to it' excuse!
I knew it...
I really really shouldn't have let them stick an LBS tatoo to my forearm.
I knew something wrong was going to happen!

Tried to rub it of the next day, when taking a shower.
Ended up with an hairless squared area in my arm.
So ridiculous...

Or maybe...
... I should have read the instructions before.
Why the hell didn't I use baby oil to rub it off?????

Home, sweet home!

Home, at last! What a long weekend this was!!

I went to London thursday night after work and woke up Friday early in the morning for the HSBC loan appointment. I then went for a quick visit at the school (what an amazing location!!) to take some photos.

Afternoon I went for a walk around London just to check if everything was in the same place, and found out this fantastic new Apple store in Regent's Street. Lots of laptops with free internet access and even a nice cool place to try many mini-speakers for the iPod (been thinking about buying ones).

Then it was the LBS dinner... and I arrived one hour late. Why am I always late?!?! This surely has to end during the MBA. Dinner was ok, though. I met some other accepted candidates and some pleople from the 2006 class. Then we went for an Asian party at the school. How was it? Let met just say that when I arrived there was a karaoke guy, singing Abba. I rest my case. Later on, I managed to meet some other friends in London.

After an insuficient 5-hour sleep, Saturday morning I crawled to the school for the Open Weekend reception. And what a fantastic day it was! Presentations by the dean, MBA staff, student's association, career services, 2006 class, programme management, a fantastic 'fake' lecture by the Decision Making teacher (the guy was sooo cool!), and all other goodies (lunch, pub crawling, dinner and after-dinner party). During all day, I met lots of interesting classmates, including some fellow bloggers (you know who you are). After the party, I met again some other friends... and went to bed at 5.30am.

On Sunday, feeling miserable, I went back to the school to pick up some things I had left there the day before and then went to Camden Town. I love this place and could not miss it this weekend!!

Finally today I payed a visit to Stamford Bridge to buy a Chelsea scarf for a friend and then went back to the school to buy some merchandising (yes, I know.... kind of nerd-ish... but they're not for me).

This Open Weekend stuff has surely got me even more anxious! I can't wait for the 29th August! I am sure the next 2 years will be amazing.
