Blonde MBADocumenting the life of a blonde MBA student in sunny California. Maybe some blondes DO have brains!

So to keep being Blonde MBA (even natural blondes have to maintain a little & to get ready for the holidays, I’m getting my hair done for the first time since going back to school. This normally dreaded experience has proven to be some much needed time for myself…

I don’t think it’s the hair styling due to the embarrassing amount of foil on my head. It probably has more to do with the stack of non-business magazines I’ve gone through…or just not thinking of schoolwork & mellowing out to wierd salon music…or the fact that us MBA students have been working nonstop for 14 weeks and need a break before finals!

Either way, I’ll enjoy this and Thansgiving break so I can hit books as needed again! I think it’s a good time management strategy!

I’m gearing up for a quick weekend getaway to celebrate grieve my last day of being employed, so I hit up the Barnes and Noble clearance sale (8 books for $25!). Now I’m a fast reader, especially of chic lit, but I don’t know if I’ll have time to finish all 8 before settling into a new reading list consisting of textbooks and the Wall Street Journal.

Beyond just reading, I wonder if I’ll have time (and money) for some of my other hobbies. Tennis (novice of course)? Check…physical fitness is where I’m going to try to devote most of my extra time. Fashion? I’ll check my fave blogs periodically, but will definitely have to work with this on a budget (and within the business world constraints). TV/Movies? Definitely limited, but I think this is a good thing…my life is real and happening now!

Balance will be the key for sure, to keep my sanity (and my husband’s) in check!
