Lap top

So, after a year of having a carcass of a laptop in my living room, I've decided to order a new hard drive for my Powerbook. That was the easy part. Now I have to hope my oppossable thumbs will be up to the challenge of fixing the thing! If everything goes right, I'll have my laptop back, and I'll be able to have a computer while on vacation in a few weeks. Yay!
Wait. Vacations are meant to be opportunities to get away from things like computers...
Update: currently, my laptop is in several pieces on my dinner table. I now have to find a way to get two stripped screws out. Grr.

school?

I am generally a poor implementer of plans that I make, so my theory is that if I write them down, I'll be more inclined to actually follow through. Maybe I'll actually follow through just to avoid how crappy I feel when I look at this post in a year and realize I didn't do any of it.

Anyway, my plan:
1) Sign up for a GMAT sooner rather than later so that I can take it in September/October.
2) Concurrently, begin researching graduate business programs that combine both marketing and psychology, or ideally offer a program that deals with consumer psychology or consumer behavior.
3) Apply to at least five schools that offer programs that I think will work.
4) Figure out a way how to pay for it all and still be able to pay the bills I have (ie, determine which of the superfluous organs I can do without. I'm looking at you, second kidney.)
5) Be prepared to pack up the U-haul for whichever school happens to accept me. (I hate u-hauls and moving. Meh. It's not like I don't like the area, but I guess I'm getting antsy anyway.)

Wish me luck. Or, better yet, keep asking me how i'm progressing with this.
