And then she woke up… February 18, 2007
Posted by Simba in : MBA, Frivolous Me , 10 commentsAhhh… I hate myself for not writing as often as I would like! I have almost disappeared from the face of earth. Now, thats what I would like. Hmmph! From the time I got back and the school started, it has been BUSY! But more than ever, the feeling that I will be out of here haunts me. I will so miss the school, my friends, my life-style..my everything. Fuqua has grown to become sucha part of me that I will truly miss it.
Anyways, this Term has been a personal favorite! Probably the best one I have had. The courses I have taken are a little different and that adds the zing to the whole thing. I have taken a writing course which demands so much writing that no wonder I have not written on my blog! But still I argue, for a 2 credit course, it is way too much writing. I thought I was good at writing till I started seeing the grades for this course.. phew… the Prof ’s green indents.. ah, I hate them! And learning a foreign language is soooo cool! 
I have taken Mandarin which will last for the whole semester. Though I wont be able to do a 15 day immersion program in China at the end of the course, this has been the most satifying learning I must say.
Ni Hao. Zaoshang Hao! (Hello, Good Morning!)
I have never had a chance to learn new languages, or maybe I did, but never really thought about it! It is so awesome.. personally, it liberates me.. two weeks ago, I didn’t know anything about ‘Chinese’ language. But now, I not only know that there is nothing called as a ‘Chinese’ language… but also can read & understand a little bit of Mandarin! Thats a wow effect! I should learn more languages.. I owe that to myself!
On the job search, it has been dampening. The firms & industries I really want to be with don’t want to have me due to work authorization requirements. And that’s when I am pretty confident that life really sucks! Why did I come so far and do so many things if I dont get a chance to do something that I truly enjoy. But then again, what makes me sure that I wont enjoy other kind of work?! I dont know.. I just feel sick. I have working real hard to get merchandising, startegy, leadership rotation firms in retail/ fashion retail/ luxury brands but they either don’t need an MBA or can’t sponsor me. Boooo….
On the other hand, I am so happy for some people who are doing really well. One of them is getting married.. thats one helluva surprise. Good Luck ‘S’. 
And another has just started a new way of sending greetings - by recording your voice on the card! Now, that is fun, try Teledora What’s better? He is a Fuquan So thats the update for now… I will try to be more around this place… now, thats the promise I make every time, ain’t it?!
