it sneaks up on you.

The last time I wrote to you was around 3 months ago.

I believe that to be a good indication of how much work is going into this endeavor. As the title may suggest - I was not expecting this.

My business school fantasies included wine and cheese parties every day, preceded by business lunches and better yet - business breakfasts. I completely expected, and welcomed, a requirement for a jacket and tie every day in class. I also expected a job to be handed to me on a silver platter...

While I have not given up on the last fantasy, this experience has been very, very different.

But please don't misunderstand: I love B-School. It has been a fantastic amount of fun so far... it's just that it's been so much more work than I expected. And I shit you not - some of these kids wear sweatpants to school. I think the last time I wore sweatpants (in public, at least) was in the 8th grade. That was in 1993.

I am going to run for Student Government. It's not that I love student politics, it's that I love students. I'm beginning to realize that the students are almost the only reason I came back to this black hole of constant work and no sleep...

It's a good thing I have some wicked awesome classmates.
