THE PLAN (for this week)

This weekend was a whirlwind. In the past 96 hours, I finished moving into a new apartment, drove to Gainesville, Ga to take the GMAT, took the GMAT, flew to Philly, attended an awesome MLT seminar, and had an overdue bonding session with my bestie at the wine bar in the airport.

I woke up to a quarter of my apartment being covered with boxes. Shoes, books, and random items are still packed away. The search for a pair of heels that made me feel cute, but comfortable was a struggle.  I felt guilty as I grabbed a left over bag of airplane pretzels, some vitamins, and said a little prayer for my morning. After a 45 minute ride with the windows down playing Yeezus (which is another story) at a volume that might have put my speakers at risk, I accept that the boxes might not be tended to today. Today is a day for planning.
