Tomorrow I'm flying back to Singapore for a week. I have a lot to do, but I already know that I won't accomplish everything I originally hoped to do. Still, it will be an important trip: I'll be trying to get my company started, and will be making a pitch to my first prospective client.
It's also going to be an emotional trip. When I first started this blog, as I started thinking about applying for an MBA, I never expected that a year and a half later I would be an entrepreneur in Beijing - it was always my plan to stay in Singapore and look for opportunities there! So much has happened that I never expected. While I'm still following the same principles in life as I always have, I know now that I have been changed so much by the MBA experience. I've learned so much, and see so many things in different ways. I've met so many interesting people, and learned so much from interacting with them. I hope some of them will continue to be friends, and will continue to teach me new things. It hasn't all been positive: MBA life has unleashed some strong, negative emotions, and has set me back in important ways. Being so tired for so long has diminished my enthusiasm for things that are important to me. I'll hav eto work hard in some areas just to get back to where I was a year and a half ago. When I look back at the day in June 2004 that I first arrived in a taxi at the graduate hall, I really have to wonder - how did that person become me? It's been a long road... This trip really will mark the end of it all as a formal, academic experience, though.
I wonder what will happen next? It will be exciting, I'm sure.
