Mid Terms here! September 17, 2005

Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , trackback

LOL! I know, its just down right crazy! Didnt I just start classes a coupla weeks back?! Ouch! Welcome to Business School! :-) Actually, here we have 6 week terms and at the end of 3rd week, we have the Mid-term. But I am liking it.. studying for endless hours without a damn idea about whats happenning in the world… even if the Hurricane passes my door, I would not notice it! BTW, I am safe.. I guess the Coastal areas of NC have had the Hurricane!

On last wednesday, we had a number of black suits & leather cases around the Mallway! It was the Investment Banking - Symposium. Had all the biggies coming in. A symposium is basically a showcase where you get to see what the real-world job looks like. You have people coming in and talking about their day-to-day work! Its interesting if you are really passionate about that field! The General Management Symposium was something on my lines! We still havent had the Consulting guys come in. Phew, yeah, the official recruitment season has started for the First Years for internships. We are having number of companies coming in which was kick-started by Morgan Stanley. I wanted to know what was behind these black suits and briefcases, so managed to book a spot in their SIP. I could count the number of hopeful & enthu faces in the audience… people sure are BIG about IB! All I can say, though, is its not really my kind of work!

Every Friday, we have Fuqua Friday where we get free food and drinks. Its good to hang out as its a relief to welcome the weekend after a tough week! Esp this one as Mid-Terms from Monday! Today, the Fuqua Friday had a twist - it was the Casino Night! Yeah, a mini-LAS VEGAS at Durham! But we really didnt have too many people as all the first years are hiding behind the books.. me included! Haha!

Okai, am so tired now.. gotto end another long day…
