Today I woke up at 10:00 am and worked on Ruby on Rails until about 12:00 pm. I was then mostly chatting with a friend, had lunch and then spoke to an alum from Pinterest. He offered to refer me at Pinterest, but also warned that most of the PMs at Pinterest were from HBS and it would be better if I looked at PM jobs at bigger software companies and then moved to Pinterest. He also said that typically startups don't have the budget for MBAs. Also he told me to try for Product Specialist roles at Google, FB, etc. That was a productive conversation. He also didn't have much to say about moving to the Bay Area except that it was very expensive and said that it was better to move there after graduation.
I then went and bought some groceries, all the while thinking I hope I don't meet anyone from school and that I don't want to make small talk. I then went for a long run for about an hour and a half, showered, ate some cereal and penned my day down.
Its amazing how little gets done when there's so much time to do things. I am going to keep track of time from tomorrow especially since I have to be mindful and also since I seem to be wasting a lot of time on the phone. I also have to sleep only by 2:00 am since I don't seem to muster the energy to wake up early. My mornings are usually filled with dread and hopelessness. After that I slowly muster the courage to face mornings.
