Life moves pretty fast

 It feels like I've been at Owen for about 8 weeks; it's been over 6 months now.  so much has changed, I feel I've learned so much, its hard to even remember what life was like back then.

I received an email this week that reminded me just how fast life is moving.  On Wednesday I'm going to host a prospective student and bring him with me through the day.

It's only been about 12 months since I myself was in those shoes... that seems like a lifetime ago. Meekly following along as Alan Hopper showed me around the school and brought me into his Operations class.  Have I really been here long enough to fill the role as a "guide"?  Have I become so much a part of a community in 6 months I'm now qualified to show the ropes to the next class at Owen?

Moral of the story; if you're thinking about business school prepare yourself for a whirlwind of an adventure.  Get ready to learn a lot, live a lot, and please, please, please take the time to soak it all in.  Before you even know it you'll be admitted, taking classes, finishing finals, getting jobs, hosting prospectives, and then graduating and moving on with your life, all in what seems to be about the same length of time it takes for me to write this sentence.
