Reception?

Today is the Wharton reception at Cisco, and I am in two minds to attend it or not. I really took away a lot from the first seminar presented by the Wharton Alumni in San Francisco, so not sure if I will learn something new here. Secondly, I still have a lot of work to do on my essays, I am trying to make sure the story flows well and makes for interesting reading, going to the seminar will take away an evening of work. And finally, today is the vice presidential debate which I don't want to miss. I particularly loathe Dick Cheney but have no idea on how articulate and thoughtful Edwards will turn out to be. Decisions, decisions.

Is anyone planning to attend the reception today?

The recommender I was concerned about yesterday apparently worked hard on my recommendation yesterday. And from what I hear of the issues covered, I feel I made an excellent choice of recommender's. I am pretty certain of meeting the deadline now, and hope everything else works out just as fine.

A lot of work that has piled up due to my concentration on the applications and I have to get cracking. So it is back to work for now.
