Well ....it's not like I didn't have an invite to go out. My classmates from Kelley are partying this weekend to celebrate some a few birthdays. I'm happy I got the invite, but I'm trying to get well.
I've been sick since last week. I finally went to the clinic at CVS because I haven't found a doctor yet. For 20 bucks I got a diagnosis of a sinus infections and prescriptions to fix this crap. That was Tuesday. It's Friday and I only feel a little better...so I'm at home.
I'm bored to death though. And trust me, there is plenty of stuff to be done in this apartment. I moved in October 1st and I still have yet to unpack these boxes. To my defense, I spent the weekend after of the first looking for furniture and the bare essentials I needed. Then I started feeling sick that Monday or Tuesday. So last weekend I was completely out of it and trying to get well, which never happened. Thus the antibiotics this past Tuesday. I still have yet to sleep through the night, so hopefully tonight I will get some sleep.
Tomorrow the unpacking begins...UGGGG I hate moving but everything will be fine once I get it all together and I get settled in.
I was talking with my very good friend V earlier, her mentor (a person who is having a highly successful career at a prestigious CPG) gave her some great advice. Her mentor told her that she needs to have a career strategy. SIGH. I'm getting tired of coming up with branding strategies at work, and now you are saying I need to come up with a career strategy. LOL But the truth of it is HELL YEA!!! The folks that are climbing the ranks in corporate America are not climbing by accident....that's just the bulls*** they tell people. "I didn't plan to be CEO." BULLS***!!!!
I realize now that we have two choices, we can live life or we let life live us. Which mode are you in?
From my convo with V, I'm definitely in the letting life live me mode at the moment. I have no real strategy.... I go to work, I come home, I got to sleep. I do it Monday through Friday. Pretty blindly at this point. My band is bout ready to curse me out. By the time I get home, I don't want to deal with anything else. And I still have folks pulling at me for different things. And at the end of the day, I don't know what the hell I want or what direction I truly want to go in....so Life is definitely living me.
Well that's not entirely true, I have an idea of what I want. Outside of wanting to get married and have at least two kids ( I will be the only Only Child in my future family), I have dreams and aspirations for my career. The problem is that these dreams are so far removed from my current reality, I don't know where to begin to get there. I feel like I don't have any control over what happens next. I haven't had a date in over three years so I'm not holding my breath for marriage. I don't have the capital or time to start my own business. So I go to work, come home, go to sleep...then repeat. I'm just letting Life Live Me at the moment.
I know I need to FOCUS. When you are letting Life Live You...you are living with out focus....so right now, I'm living without focus. SIGH
Having the post MBA job is cool...but is this all that's left of life. What's next for FARE? I guess I have to go figure that out.
Trying to get it together.....
The FARE MBA Life???
Stay tuned.....
Love,
FARE
