Remembering a free weekend...nonMBA

I'd completely forgotten what a free weekend was like, but that didn't stop me from re-doing all the activities.

Sat;
Surfing - Nothing like two hours of surfing, to cleanse the stress from a weary soul.
Texas Hold'em (TH) - Nothing like a few hours of TH and trash talking with friends to reconnect.

Sun;
BBQ - Nothing like a half day of beers , grilling steaks & salmon, and "the game" of the NFL season 2007/2008' (undefeated Colts vs undefeated Patriots) on the tube.


Next post will be from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh), Vietnam. Yeah...hitting the road for a trip across the big pond (pacific ocean) to rekindle my spirits and Vietnamese heritage.

Back to the norm...

It has been one month since I've been back on the GMAT study wagon. It's been tough juggling the holidays, family, work and study. Since the holidays are done and only Vietnamese New Year's (Feb 8, year of Pig) coming up next month, I have more time allocated towards study. I have slowly pushed my brain endurance (tough, working full time, w/ mother and god son responsibilities) back to two hours and hoping to push it to 4 hours.

Also rejoined the UCI gym after a two year absence. I was able to maintain my lost weight (10 lbs) but need the extra boost to lose the extra 15 lbs. Need to build up the endurance; Stronger body enables a stronger mind. For now my schedule is "action" packed. No worries, I prefer to remain busy. It helps me to be disciplined. If I have too much free time, I get into too much trouble.

My schedule for this new year;
M-Ths;
8-6(?) Work
Noontime workout
6-9pm GMAT
9-? Keep mom company in her room.

Fri;
8-5 work
5-> Gym or surf


Weekends;
8/9(?) Morning workout at Gym or Surfing
11-5(?) GMAT studies.

It's also great to have the weather back to normal. The past two weeks have been cold. In the 50F/10C - 60F/15C. Hey...that's cold for us SoCal! Yeah...I know we're spoiled and brats when it comes to the weather. A few pictures of my local surfing spot by the Huntington Beach pier.
