The state of a split mind

The effort to know what drives me to a decision and what's beyond what I might think keeps me at one place for a longer time than I plan. Well of course months passed on and I have not been studying, or gathering information or planning. I had been thinking and I was busy.

So I am back here on this thread and trying to catch up with changes. I know that I've waited almost more than anyone else, and now that its evident as the GRE showed up recently with an announcement of a new exam pattern. With a new scoring system, I believe it changes the game. Maybe for good or bad, I'd soon find out.

The first thing that I started off with is pre-requisites to even think about the exam. Am gathering all the documents that I'd need, and since I'm a very much messed up person in general, it takes me longer time.

I did some reading this week and got to understand self-assessment is where I'll have to begin. And there I am.

Visiting the hall of fame

So with lot of thinking in background, I visited Jamboree Education today. They have gained a pretty good attention here in Bangalore to put up their people in good universities. But they don't necessarily study in the centre I visited. Roopa emphasized on the common strategy they follow for GRE in India and everything you'd typically hear on a first day you visit a centre. A good thing that makes me think is yes, there are people who take the test and get a freaking 1600. Or 1560 and 1520 and 1400s. And walking out of the store, I could see lots of them in picture.

1500s! Gosh.

End of 2010 thoughts

2010 was about working with JPMorgan Chase & Co. , and things have changed again. In fact today being third last day, thoughts are clouded with plans of 2011 and things to do before that ends. There are three relevant ideas in my head right now that needs to be worked upon thoroughly to have them all completed very soon. Preparing, and before that making the right mindset is first and the one that has more friction than the rest. Taking on a few more projects and activities in UI designing being second and acquiring a CUA certification being the last.

I think this is it, I am preparing myself for a Masters in HCI.

Application(s)

The job applications go out long before admit applications. I've just begun sending out my applications for being a UI Designer. Haven't heard from anyone yet, however the first line companies are on watchlist already.

Confusion To Graduation

Not sure about the latter part, the confusion has begun shaping up already. So what is it going to be like?
