I'm like, really bad at math

Not to brag or anything, but i'm pretty much smart as fuck. My mind is usually processing info faster than a maglev. But god damn if i can't do simple algebra. My creative right brain is in such high gear, that my left brain has basically atrophied. I mean I can barely figure out a tip at brunch.

I haven't taken a math class since I was 17. It was Algebra II and it was the second "C" I ever got in my life, the first being freshman year of high school in Algebra I. Both times I went to a special private tutor twice a week and STILL only managed a "C." Geometry was no problem...A all the way. But something about algebra...maybe its sheer pointlessness...made me unable to wrap my otherwise brilliant (lol) head around it.

Why am I mentioning this?

Because last night I attended a GMAT session at UNLV and we did some practice questions. I had finished the verbal section (90% correct) before the instructor had finished explaining the 1st question. But the math? Oh...the math. Not only did I only get ONE right (and that's because it was more of a common sense question than a math question) but I didn't even get it when she fully explained how to do the problems. I am doomed.

My biz school choices were as follows: Haas @ Berkeley, Kellogg @ Northwestern, Ross @ University of Michigan, University of Chicago, Columbia University, and Tuck @ Dartmouth.

But like Kyle on South Park, I realized something today. I cannot up and move again. I just can't. I have a cat, a condo, two full-time businessess, and a life in Vegas, and I'll be 30 before I know it. I CANNOT keep running from the bad and pursuing the dream elsewhere when, if I never stick it out anywhere long enough to acheive the dream, the dream will remain just that.

So that makes one really smart dual degree M.B.A/M.S Hotel Administration student at UNLV Fall 2007. It's cheap, it's down the street, and if I get a grad assistantship, I could actually go for free. Plus UNLV students get a discount at my yoga studio.

Plus I won't have to study quite as hard for the dreaded math portion of the GMAT's....awesome. One life decision down, 76,937 to go.....
