Hard times and some sweets

It is sooooo difficult to decide where to go! Sometimes I wish I only got one offer!
I mean my heart says Tuck, but my head keeps telling me to think about it... And yes, the only reason is the brandmark. Normally I don't care that much about names, but Japanese do. And because I intend (that's what I'm thinking now, if it is what I'm thinking in 2 years... who knows?!?) to go back to Japan after graduation I shouldn't forget about what Japanese are thinking! And unfortunately Tuck and Dartmouth are just not known - at least amongst people who are not familiar with the whole MBA thing. But if I mention MIT a lot of bells start to ring everywhere... Well, last Friday was the decision deadline for Sloan and the nearer it came the more confused I got. the point is, all I know about both schools is second hand information. I've never been there on my own... I know, the best would have been to go visit them... BUT... during the application process it was just not possible. And even now it was not very easy to get some days off. But yaij (^-^)/ just on Friday I booked my flight to Boston for the ASW at Tuck!!!! AND last week I got an email from Sloan... they granted me an extension till the end of April to decide whether I want to enrol or not! That means, on my way back to Japan I will visit Sloan and meet some friends in Boston and THEN I can make a decision based on what I know, saw and feel - and not based on what someone wrote or told me. I hope that will give me some peace... LOL... I'm sure it will give me at least a BIG jetlag!

Oh, and last week was March, 14... White Day. I got a lot of chocolate and even some bacon one colleague made by himself... LOL.. that was probably the strangest (but very delicious) White Day present in the whole country!
