Here's a little about myself... except for the "orderliness" results, everything matches well.

Decision made... going back to school!

For some months, I’ve been thinking on what to do next with my life. Living abroad has been quite an experience and I’ve grown much personally and professionally, but frankly, I’m getting bored of the routine. My job is great and, apart of some details, I wouldn’t change much of it, but it seems something is missing in my life and I don’t want to stay still and wait for things to happen.
So, for more or less a year now, I’ve been searching for options to do my MBA. I’ve requested information from universities in US, Spain and
INCAE (a good business school in Costa Rica). I did the admission test for this last school; got a very good grade and they offered me a partial scholarship. So, I took my time to think about it and in February I decided to say YES.
This means I’ll be heading back home in some months, as classes start in August, I’ll be quitting my job and leaving everything I’ve known for the last 3 years. Sounds crazy, actually, it’s crazy… but it’s interesting and I know that I need to refresh my career knowledge, to build new connections and to return, at least for a while, to Costa Rica.
After all, life is an adventure and I’m glad of experiencing it.
