Accepted!

Posted by Zerok Apr. 9, 2009 @ 5:54 PM EDT

Just got the confirmation email, I'm in!

This July I begin a 22-month Corporate Residency MBA program. For 8 of those months I shall be working with some sort of firm either in the city or somewhere... else. After 22 months the goal is to continue with the firm with a nice non-entry level position and manage mounds and mounds of debt. (I am accepting donations! *cough*)

The next step is convincing the government to invest in me. Woooo.

So yeah, I am happy! You should be too.

Update: Lauren just found an amazing basement apartment! Check this:

It's about 600 square feet, a one bedroom.
The property is located on major bus routes, bus stops are like a 3 second walk away.
It's a 2 minute walk to a BEACH on a small LAKE.
There's a washer and dryer on site, not coin op ones either.
The landlord is a younger fellow who seems very easy going and kind.
Big backyard and communal deck with a BBQ.
The rent includes all utilities including 'net and cable.
The kitchen has counters! Not a big deal normally, but the place she has now literally has no counters. You have to use this little wooden table.

Thank you.

Debt at a Canadian university?

Or are you going Amerikan?

Apr. 9, 2009 | 6:18 PM Zerok responds:

Canadian. Possibly the most expensive university in Canada too.

It's a shame that's not directly linked to prestige, though DAL does have good name.

Thanks baked-bean.

Wow man, that is really awesome! Congrats!

Apr. 9, 2009 | 6:58 PM Zerok responds:

I am pretty psyched. It's gonna be intense.

Cheers, and thank you.

-- Just tell them that you'll moderate their forums ;P

Apr. 10, 2009 | 5:07 PM Zerok responds:

Heh. I mentioned NG (in a general sense) in my personal essay. I don't think it's something that I would base any sort of application on, unless it was for a job where I did something very similar.


Apr. 10, 2009 | 4:54 PM Lorkas says:

Dude you used to be thinner! What happened?!

Apr. 10, 2009 | 5:08 PM Zerok responds:

I was maybe 15 pounds lighter in... high school. I've hovered around 160 for the past few years. Right now I'm actually thinner than usual due to the university student diet, which is mostly due to being dirt poor.


Apr. 11, 2009 | 6:40 AM Ocean says:

hahaha sounds great, good luck

Apr. 11, 2009 | 6:39 PM Zerok responds:

Many thanks.


Apr. 11, 2009 | 6:48 AM Shreddy says:

what sort of firm will you be working at? (i get the feeling its something to do with law or physics)

and nice one on the apartment! i tried looking for one before but all the ones round here absolutely sucked for how much the rent was, so she's very lucky to get one that sounds that good! just hope the rent isnt crippling haha

Apr. 11, 2009 | 6:40 PM Zerok responds:

No law, though law is cool. Last physics class I took was in first year, heh.

I'm looking into: Marketing, Public Relations, Advertising. Human Resources as a backup. Of course I could always get into finance as well.

Oh, and the rent is amazing @ $750 a month.

Apr. 11, 2009 | 8:01 PM Shreddy says:

Apr. 13, 2009 | 9:22 AM Zerok responds:

Indeed, it is a sweet deal.


Apr. 12, 2009 | 10:55 AM tyler2513 says:

apparentlyi know yo?

Apr. 13, 2009 | 9:22 AM Zerok responds:

It's not apparent at all...


Apr. 13, 2009 | 11:36 AM tyler2513 says:

Forums...remember we met in forums and you just sounded like you knew me I don't mean any harm.

Apr. 13, 2009 | 5:41 PM Zerok responds:

Heh, I don't really know what you're talking about. =)


Apr. 14, 2009 | 11:56 AM Lagamuffin says:

Congradulations good buddy! :D

Apr. 14, 2009 | 2:54 PM Zerok responds:

Thank you for your congratulatory comment!


Apr. 14, 2009 | 12:10 PM life says:

Congratulations!!!

Apr. 14, 2009 | 2:54 PM Zerok responds:

:D !!!


Apr. 14, 2009 | 7:58 PM AronKong says:

sorry i didnt see the SOME part of his thing ;( and by the way you had to make the PINK castle crasher not red :)

Apr. 15, 2009 | 8:14 AM Zerok responds:

It's all good, and, are you colourblind? Bologna may not be exactly Valentine's Day Pink but it's a far cry from anything red. It's sort of a flesh tone... Maybe your monitor is frazzled.

*Eats Entry.*
*Says entry never existed, like what the mods are doing to the Sanjay "demodding"*

Apr. 16, 2009 | 1:30 PM Zerok responds:

He knows too much.

Pump his stomach.


Apr. 16, 2009 | 9:24 PM WATCHurFLAG says:

*om nom nom*

Too late its digested.


Apr. 16, 2009 | 9:28 PM WATCHurFLAG says:

WATCHurFLAG still hungry!

*om nom nom*

*Eats Zerok's Ban stick*


Apr. 16, 2009 | 9:36 PM WATCHurFLAG says:

OMG it's WATCHurFLAGzilla!!!

He's eating everything!!!!

*WATCHurFLAG eats Timmy*


Apr. 16, 2009 | 9:38 PM WATCHurFLAG says:

WHAT WILL BE NEXT!!!

*WATCHurFLAG starts going for Zerok and Mal steps in WATCH's way with his almighty ban stick!*


Apr. 16, 2009 | 9:40 PM WATCHurFLAG says:

*Watch in this predicament, is short on options. He has already ate Timmy and is facing Mal's ban stick. Zerok is making a Snadwich to supercharge himself and help Mal*


Apr. 16, 2009 | 9:42 PM WATCHurFLAG says:

*Watch runs through the interwaves of the internet for Youtube. No one can stop him there. However Mal and Zerok are clever and have Newgrounds on lockdown. Meaning no escape for Watch.*


Apr. 16, 2009 | 9:49 PM WATCHurFLAG says:

*Watch being desperate runs to the AP. He thinks the to Forum Mods couldn't do anything to him there. But they rally the audio mods against him*

Apr. 19, 2009 | 6:33 AM Zerok responds:

What a lovely tale of bravery and steadfastness in the face of peril and uncertainty. Pulitzer Prize plz.


Apr. 16, 2009 | 10:05 PM Evark says:

My imagination isn't as vivid as this guy ^, but 'grats on the grad acceptance. Always cool to find sweet deals on awesome cribs.

Apr. 19, 2009 | 6:34 AM Zerok responds:

Thank ye, and yes. We canceled a two-day trip at the end of the month so as to make moving less stressful. I think it was a good call; no need to start precious memories of a place off with moving woes.


Apr. 16, 2009 | 10:11 PM WATCHurFLAG says:

*Doomed Watch gets a 30 Day ban :(*

Apr. 19, 2009 | 6:34 AM Zerok responds:

Wait Im not Banned am I? I didn't even know about that video thread until you turned up?
And that castle crasher's sandwich looks awesome!

Apr. 19, 2009 | 6:35 AM Zerok responds:

I dunno, can you post?

Lauren's CC is better... but maybe Luis will send us two. >_>


Apr. 18, 2009 | 11:35 AM Twilight says:

Omg Guess who

Apr. 19, 2009 | 6:35 AM Zerok responds:

:O

You're 95 less than the old you.


Apr. 18, 2009 | 5:50 PM Hacsev says:

That looks awesome. I hope it tastes as good as it looks. ;)

Apr. 19, 2009 | 6:36 AM Zerok responds:

I didn't eat it because the bologna had paper all over it (I used a custom drawn guide), and that paper was full of pencil marks... and it was out for an hour being made... and yeah.


Apr. 18, 2009 | 8:46 PM JakWylde says:

HaHa thats great!

Apr. 19, 2009 | 6:37 AM Zerok responds:

All pieces of news on this post are quite great. I'll assume you're referring to them as a collective. =)


Apr. 19, 2009 | 7:19 PM Elroy says:

mine totally looks like this

Apr. 21, 2009 | 11:52 AM Zerok responds:

Did you also use bologna?


Apr. 19, 2009 | 7:20 PM Elroy says:

also nice find on the apartment

Apr. 21, 2009 | 11:53 AM Zerok responds:

Yeah, she's a luck one.


Apr. 21, 2009 | 10:23 PM RKthrilla says:

I had that exact idea but I had trouble cutting the bologna and stopped D:
