MBA?

The last 3 months have been strange.  A transitional phase in my life.  But to be honest, this has been building for the last 5 years.  I have an itch to do something.  Something great.  But I don't know how to do it.  Well, after lots of oscillation, I believe I have made a decision.  I think when it comes to profound life altering decisions, indecision is inevitable.  I have always envied people who can decide at the drop of a hat and then stick to their guns through the duration, but I am not sure that is something I would like to do.  I have no clear idea of what the future holds and I know I will change my mind again.  And again.  And again, but today I am starting something in motion that will alter the course of my life.

I went to an information session last night at Mills College and spoke with the dean of the business school and was very impressed with what she had to say.  I do realize that all schools have to sell themselves as a product and business schools are most likely to be the best at selling themselves so I will be doing research on a number of schools, but I really did enjoy the size and focus of this particular school.  Accountability, Ethics, and Environmentally friendly business were the core beliefs we discussed.  Ideal for me since I want to take this into the not-for-profit sector.  Maybe working for an NGO promoting sustainable agriculture in South Africa.  Or maybe economic diversity in Argentina.  Or a organic food coop in California.  Who knows. 

So that's all.  I find myself forgetting my past and looking at today and tomorrow more and more.  It's exciting, it's liberating.  Naturally I still have those melancholy moments looking back at the last 2 and a half years of my life, but those days I am happy to report, dear reader (if there really is someone reading this) are growing fewer and farther between.  2 months ago I was ready to call it quits and just be sad.  What a whiner I was.  I need to remember this feeling so I can use it if another lovely woman decides to break my heart.  It will be good to know it slowly puts itself back together.
