OK, I must admit that I haven't been working that hard lately, at my job that is. Far from it actually. I just don't have the motivation; my company will not be sponsoring my MBA, I have no intention on returning to this company, & there are so many other things that I find more important at this moment. Most of these distractions have to do with gearing up for INSEAD. Studying 2nd language, meeting future classmates, planning to attend the welcome week, preparing to meet INSEAD language requirements, arranging housing for the next year, enjoying the beautiful weather, etc. etc.
Don't get me wrong, I do enough job related work so that there aren't fires to put out later, but I am bothered by a sense of guilt that I am not doing more. After all, I am still being paid until the end of May. I wonder how many other future INSEADers are feeling the same way right now. Well I better get back to finding distractions.
In 12 months, I will have obtained a degree from one of the worlds best b-schools. Along the way, there will be challenges: meeting entry requirements, trading off studying with networking, keeping a distant partner happy. The rewards will be greater: gaining lifelong friends, obtaining a top-tier MBA, acquiring the tools for my ideal career, enjoying the unique INSEAD experience.
