Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , 6 commentsLOL! It just gets crazier.. Can you believe it, I am getting 3-hr sleep in the first week of classes! I cant believe it myself! But hell, this Term 2 is so so so hard, we have all the BIGGIES this time, Accounting, Marketing & Finance!! Phew, for someone who has no idea of any of these, man, it is a challenge in itself!
Ok, now let me stop complaining.. looks like I am doing a lot of it these days. 
This blog has been like ‘give-vent’ kinda things where I can crib about the amount of work! To all those who are trying to make it to their dream schools, I dont really want to scare you away but just want to tell ya that it is not easy! Ofcourse, I am learning & my teeny weeny lil mind is expanding in explosing propotions & my vocabulary has just incremented exponentially to include many complicated words just so, I can get away without even the other realizing what happenned. 
(If you didnt really understand that, let it pass.. it was nothing worthwhile!)
Term 1 was bad with terms to Time Management. Guess, I need to strategize much better this Term. Maybe you may not see many posts on my blog this Term. But I will try my best… Send me mails if you need my attention on anything specific!! Okie, now, got to rush to my Accounting Class!! Ah…And did you know money had time value attached to it & not just value! LOL!
Edit: Have been an a$$. Losing sense of time! Atleast I wont be listening to the ‘pleasant’ noises of Diwali.. Trust me.. Thats music to ears when you are away from home! A Very Happy Diwali/ Deepavali to one & all!
Relaxed & Peaceful October 22, 2005
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , 9 commentsDays..have just passed. The whole of this last week, I have been so relaxed and peaceful. I fell sick at the right moment which kept me out of Atlanta. So, no pitching for my career this time around Anyways, have slept so much half due to medicine & half due to laziness. Maybe I just needed this time with myself. The scores for Term 1 is finally out, no more suspense in trying to figure out what went right and what went wrong. It has been bad for me by my own standards. I have been disappointed seeing my scores and wondering whether I have totally missed the boat. I wish I knew the answers myself but sadly I dont. I did work hard but that ‘hard’ does not replace ’smart’ which is what I guess I missed out on.
Anyways, a couple of good things came out of this exercise, atleast I have figured out what doesnt work for me & what does.. maybe this way I can really build up a better GPA next time around. Guys, let me tell you, Business Schools are crazy and be prepared for it if you are serious about getting that darn MBA. I was quite disheartened but I have come to believe that all this is a learning process in itself and I am here for ‘this learning’.. I have a long way to go.. Lets see how things will get aligned next term.. Term 2 begins on Monday!
Fall Break! October 16, 2005
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , 2 commentsThe much awaited break! LOL! Just a week - gotto fit in a visit to Atlanta for meeting the Consulting companies and give a pitch for our case
Nah, I didnt shoot that pic. Just wondering, where the hell does it look like that!?
And the Finals October 10, 2005
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , 5 commentsare here! LOL! Its been one of those real crazy weeks. I was so busy with so many things.. we had a lot of submissions in all the courses and most of them were graded! Have hardly been at home, have spent most of my time in the school. I have been staying almost all my ‘awake’ hours in the school over the last 3-4 days. I get lazy when I stay back home..So, being in school and seeing people carry big big folders with long long faces makes you smile an evil smile - “Ain’t you just enjoying it!?” LOL!
But I am really enjoying this studying thing. Finally all the stuff that I was like so worried about has started making sense. That Game Theory in MicroEconomics is really good fun! And that damn regressions, man, I can run them all day long and still be able to look through my Managerial Effectiveness Course Case-Studies. I must say that education out here is so so different that what I am so used to! I dont really cram cram kinds becos you dont have to! The exams are not designed to test your memory, rather they test your understanding and how you apply your common sense in solving everything! No, I am still not there but am kinda getting used to it! So, some of those Big ‘Dons’ coming in 2nd Term should be Ok after all! Also, everthing is kinda becoming clear, am able to see the link between different things and able to co-relate so many concepts into everyday life! Its amazing!
Okai, so much for ranting.. My Exams are starting the day after tomorrow and after that - Fall Break! Yipee!
