Time to nut up or shut up

Well, boys, the time is here. It's officially time for IB Week/OCR Recruitment and I have come down with one of the worst illnesses I've ever had. I've got the AC blasting at a cool 84 degrees and a full bottle of Airborne just ready to be munched down. And in all honesty, I couldn't be more fucking excited to sit in 7 information sessions and network my ass off with all you Chimps tomorrow. I've sat through too many cold calls and wrote too many emails to have a microscopic virus take me down. It's fucking go-time and I honestly can't be happier that I have come down with the sickness (oh AH AH AH AH). This is truly testing my will and want to do this job, and it has solidified that this something I really want to pursue. Also, a huge S/O to anyone else going through recruitment right now, it sucks but keep grinding and it will all be worth it in the end.

Additionally, let's start a thread about the best time you had to put your head down and really put yourself to the test. Let's keep pushing our mental capacities boys.
