The past few days have been very hectic.I was busy shopping, meeting relatives,visiting temples,arranging finances for my education and gearing up for a hectic study schedule.

I am leaving for Canada this Wednesday night.After 6 long years,I will be heading back to school.

I opted for an enginering degree coz my parents wanted me to do that, but now I am doing an MBA because I want to do it.The decision to quit a job and head to school was not an easy one but I sincerely believe that this decision will help me realize my professional and personal goals.

Excited..Nervous..Tensed..Challenged..Adapting to change...
Going through all kinds of emotions these days.

So, here is some stuff to boost my confidence.:)
