Mixed feelings:
This is it! Jumping to the void.
Goodbye regular paycheck, welcome world of debt!
Excitement as this is the first step to the MBA.
Goodbye Google! It has been amazing to work with you, but my ship now moves on.
Adios, arrivederci, auf wiedersehen, au revoir, bye, bye-bye, cheerio, good-by, goodby, sayonara, so long my friends at work.
Good bye regular day-to-day job, welcome excitement of new lessons every day.
Today is my last day. I have handed over my projects, ordered my folders and done all the paperwork. I will miss my friends, working here, the Google cafeteria food, and the feeling of creating GDP and doing some real work.
Now the student life abysm opens in front of me…
… so I’d better run, because time is flying by and I have lots of things to do. Fun student things, you know, like selling my car and many other items, packing and moving, buying plane tickets and cleaning my appartment before the checkout inspection.
After leaving my job, the real fun starts!

Thanks for the good wishes.
Regarding your question: No, I haven’t seen any. That myth of people sneaking in for lunch is more of an urban legend. Very funny one, though

[…] Welcome to this week’s edition of FFF! It’s been a quiet week in the MBA blogosphere, but there’s still a bit of news to report. On the applicant front, it’s the time of year that accepted students entering school in the fall are giving notice (Paxti has mixed feelings about leaving Google for LBS and Jacek seems a bit happier to be on his way to ESADE), thinking creatively about upcoming classes, getting their finances in order and looking back on the application process with a reflective eye. Along the latter lines, FoobarMe has offered some great tips on essay writing, stressing the importance of quantifying achievements and including illustrative detail. Meanwhile, Class of 2009 aspirants are expressing their appreciation for this kind of advice from seasoned veterans and for the blogging community in general. In other application preparation news, UniQpath is putting together a timeline and plan of attack, while ScareCrow ponders the one versus two year MBA issue. […]
