the title says it all. first date with southern gent went very well. but i knew that it would. i knew from our phone conversations that i'd really like him in person. it's hard for me to say exactly why, i just did. there's a whole bunch more going through my head right now but i don't think it's quite synthesized to a point where it would make sense on paper. i just have a good feeling about him. sorry for the lack of juicy details folks. but if things progress the way i would like them to, then we're all in for juicy stories later.
in other news, i bought my first 2 gmat prep books today. i'm scared shitless and excited all at the same time. i had a total geek out moment at work on thursday in our marketing meeting where i felt totally smart and inspired. so b-school felt all the more appealing to me then. i'm looking at 2 programs: sac state and sf state. for both programs, i need to take a core of fundmental business classes that i never took in undergrad, crap like accounting and finance. ugh. if i go full time it will take me a year. part time most likely a year and a half. then i can take the graduate level classes and i plan to do that full time to get it done in 2 years. so my next steps are studying for gmats, finding ways to fund my education, either through working for someone with education benefits or sucking it up and taking out loans. it's enough to make my head spin, but i think it will all fall into place.
also in other news, half marathon training begins tomorrow. i'm pretty stoaked about it. it feels good to be running again. i even weighed myself after my run on friday and i'm down 2 pounds! of course 4th of july weekend ruined al that i'm sure, but i'm back on the wagon and it feels good :)
hope y'all had a great holiday weekend. it's back to work tomorrow! boooooo!

Glad to hear things went well with the gent. Sounds like your gut is telling you good things! :)
Oooh, Grad school! My year of grad school was one of the best years of my life! Enjoy it! :)
Goodluck with starting the HM training.
Oooooo I'm happy things went well :-) I agree with Staci, go with the gut!
We've got several people at work heading to the GMAT later this month. It's getting intense. You'll love grad school, once you get through all those prereqs. And I'm glad the first date went so well.
Good luck with your training today!
Good news all around!
Yay about the gent. :)
I feel your pain/excitement on the school thing, I'm sort of considering the same thing (not B-school but something). It's such an investment in time and money, but so worth it. You'd be great, I'm sure.
Good luck on your training and congrats on the lbs lost! :)
