• Taking a walk down the staircase...how far is down?

  Oh boy!!my current playlist is a downer!!When going through a blue funk Daville-in heaven,Tanya stevens-this streets and Corinne Bailey Rae-like a star are the last songs you want playing back to back...heaven has surely been away too long like miss Rae said :(
  
  Our Kid....you were right when you said things can only go down hill from here on....
  I wish you werent so on point
  
  Tommorow is meant to be a good day but i aint smilling cos of some stuff i came to discouver.Am crossing my fingers that too doesnt go down south cos it'll somewhat determine what i'll be doing in Jan!!
  
  Speaking of which,why do most good B-schools ask for atleast 3years experience at managerial level before you can apply for an mba!!Jeez!!i get that they assume with experience you'll be better prepared for the course,but do they ever consider unemployment levels could be the reason a majority of applicants decide to go back to school?!!who in their right mind would opt to resign from a well paid senior management level job to go back to school on this continent where such posts arent guaranteed to come by twice!!I even saw a few stating that the average age of their mba students is 29!!Am not an avid follower of the tags placed on age but 29?!That's one year to 30....kinda tricky trying to juggle school and careers especially if your plan is to go abroad at a time when our societal expectations are that you're meant to be settling down!!
  
  My local options aint that varied and the thought of going back to my alma mater aka undergrad school isnt appealing either cos after four years i need a break!So either way it'll be about settling....a different career path vs unappealing program....a sure sign august graduation is drawing near!Now i kinda wish i was going back to school in september cos boredom will drive me insane *sigh*
  
  School stress,plus stress za maisha,plus what a good friend called unnecessary stress that always leave me sad not forgetting what happens tomorrow = me needing a breather
  
  And to cap it all 'i am ready for love,why are you hiding from me,id quickly give my freedom to be held in your captivity,i am ready for love,all of the joy and the pain, and all the time that it'd take just to stay in your good grace' India Arie is the last song i listen to tonight!!!Tell me iTunes aint purposely taunting me!!lmao!!
  But on a final note if 'they say watch what you ask for cos you might recieve' am sure about this last one....cos in my heart i trully believe it would make all else bearable

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
