Day 4

Morning (6:30-8:30) - Woke up late, so wasn't able to study in the morning, got to work late, this just won't do!

Afternoon (11:00 - 11:30) - Practiced a bunch of additions and 14th table

Evening (after getting home and having a snack, before getting dinner ready) - Got home late, no time to work on RC's was busy cooking, cleaning and watching the season premier of "the office" and "outsourced". Hey its hard to loose the habit of watching soaps all of a sudden. Disconnected the TV afterwards, to minimize the distraction.

Night (11:00 - 12:00) - 20 CR's 40 min, 20 min to analyze what went wrong. Was exhausted by end of it, hit the bed at 12:30 only to wake up 9 again :( Just hate that I keep repeating the same mistake over and over.


Excited about weekly test.

Class GMAT { Print "Hello World"; }

Inspired by gmat gal I've decided to post my daily prep updates to a blog as well :)  This is going to be my first attempt at gmat (hopefully my last *fingers crossed*) and I am pretty psyched about it. A little about me - I am a full time app developer at a software firm and its been 5 years since I said bye to grad school. From where I stand right now, I don't see my career going anywhere, so I'm hoping that a good gmat score leads to a good mba program which might in turn lead to better career prospects?.

 Well, all in all, GMAT will be my first step toward a different career and I need to give it a good start so I am really working for a good score and I need to stay focused if I want to crack it successfully. Here is to hoping that I shed the fat from procastination and laziness and work my GMAT muscle. Cheers.
