Manhattan Gmat2: An eye opener

-
Just finished my second MGMAT. Didn't write the essays and had some time management issue with the Quant section. Had a lot of guessing to complete the section within the time limit and ended up with 13 wrong choices. Quite an eye opener as i've always thought of this section as my forte. Really need to work on it now on.
Verbal section as usual had its on shortfalls in the saying. But an alarming thing is the percentage of the CR and the SC questions in the total wrong question value, which is somehow quite large. Again this is something i had stopped working on for past couple of days. 

Takeaways:

  • Start with AWA.
  • Data Sufficiency continues to be a big problem. Work harder on it.
  • Problem Solving is OK.
  • Sentence correction is a new grey area.
  • Critical reasoning could have been better.
  • Reading comprehension has improved(ufff at least something's positive)   

Action Items:
  1. Data Sufficiency and Sentence Correction -> Priority 1.
  2. Continue to practice PS, CR and RC at the normal pace.
  3. AWA : Get an idea, initial template to go about the same.

Friends yeah quality friends

Well i have been going through this re-evaluation phase of my life and found out i've suffered most because of my trait of "pleasing people" that i felt important to me in some way or the other. I've realised that part of my problem has been pleasing others. This has primarily been to remain liked, the routine guy and to avoid conflict, etc. All measures of my own insecurities. But lately I've been finding more and more that many of such people who I once considered friends, have actually been friends only because I've been a particular way with them, and if that 'way' has deviated in some way, then their friendship has waned or disappeared altogether. Some of my 'friends' have chosen to part ways, while I've chosen to part ways from others. What's been really interesting to me is that these friends, for want of a better word, have only been friends if I've been of a particular way. Attitudes, actions, opinions, etc. If I d
