Limbo

I just told my mum that I wasn't quite sure what I am right now: graduated so no longer a student, but not yet working (start tomorrow). I suppose I'm in some sort of limbo. But a pretty good one :-)

I feel at the end of my MBA I should be giving some sort of advice to the incoming class and prospective applicants. And I will. But for now I am going to lean back, look back and enjoy all that happened over these past two years. A lot has happened. I've changed a lot. The world has changed. I'm very happy with my decision to do an MBA and in particular to do it at LBS (the cynics and scientists amongst you will moan about not having a control group: I don't know what would've happened if I hadn't done it). People have asked me what the one thing is that I took away from it, but that's an impossible thing to ask. There is no one thing. Everything's interconnected: the academics, extracurriculars, exchange, my friends, living in London, Sundowners, student ambassador-ship. I have no idea what my life would've looked like if I'd stayed back in NL but I sure as hell know that I'm loving my life now and the past two years have been such a blast!

Thank you for all the warm wishes, I really appreciate them. And I promise to go over the comments and reply. *cue advertising jingle, look away if you don't want to see shameless begging from my side* If you want to make someone else really happy (which will make me happy too), please consider giving a small monetary gift to people who could use it *end advertising jingle*.

PS And no, that's not where I'll be working. You can see Canary Wharf on the photo, where most of the big banks are. And I won't be working there. I just liked the photo, taken this past Sunday when my parents and I took the boat down to Greenwich.

Great picture. Is that with the camera phone?

And are you allowed to give a vaguish description of the job?

Have one interview scheduled for next week and a phone conversation with GE this week. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Jeez, you're really keeping us in the dark on your new job, aren't you? Something at MI5 or the AIVD maybe? :-)

Good way to keep us come back for more!!

Regards from small NL, R.

JeffD: yep, this was taken with the N95, I'm very impressed myself with the quality. I *love* the phone! How did the interview go? I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed for ya, I'm sure you'll find something fabulous soon :-)

R: hush. don't mention the aivd... they won't like me mentioning their name ;-)
