Finally ESADE....

Well, I was away from blogging for a while and back with a news.

On Apr 29th, Friday - pre planned work from home morning - my day started with a good news. Yup, the e-mail from Ad com - ESADE about my admit news :)

Really a refreshing news after a long journey that had tough phases thro' out. ESADE is one school for which i did a good research and was aiming a lot too. Travelling to NY for Info Session, Meeting with 2010 ambassador, Inputs from 6 alumni and current students etc etc. At the end, everything added up for a good news.

So I was given only 2 weeks to confirm and pay my reservation fees, ahhhh ya I applied in later rounds though, and after 2 weeks of serious thought process, finally Committed to ESADE today. Yes done with my reservation fees and yet to send my acceptance letters blah blah blah...

At the end of a tough journey, gonna start a toughest journey. Just spoke with my employer and planning to return back to India in June and fly to Barcelona in August. That's just less than 3 months and my tasks typically are:

Resignation Process, Apply Loans in Spain/India, Meet my brother and friends in US, Get BGs from US and India, Shopping and vacate the place in US, India Travel, Report Indian Office and finish the formalities, Prepare Documents for Visa, Meet families in India, Stay with my parents for sometime, Get the visa things done, Pre-arrangements for Spain travel etc etc etc... Oh ya, my head spins right now.

Feeling real bad to leave the place, I stayed for past 4 yrs and 10 months. But have to move on and face challenges.

Will post sometime next week with all the proceedings related to FBI Background Check in US and Loan details in Spain.

More to come...

So today, done with my application for Kenan Flagler. Technically my reco is still pending since the email was sent to my recommender after i submitted the application because of some technical issues. So my recommender has to submit the recos by early next week..

Other than that, pending task is regarding the In-State Residential Form Submission, which i can typically submit even after admit. So lets see how it goes.. Fingers crossed..
