Yahoooooooo!!!!

Filed under: ISB, Diary

All Exams are over and out! Compared to yesterday’s performance, my performance today was way way better! I think I have done well both in Statistics and especially Marketing..[I simply loved the paper..only problem being lot of calculations, so at one point of time, hand was paining!]..General feeling among the public about today’s exams is same! So the ‘relative’ grading will play its role again!

It feels so wonderful to be free, after week long studying (or should I say Slogging!)…We have a break of 5 days. Term 2 starts on Monday. Quite a few people are going home. I could see some people bringing in their luggages with them for examination hall! Most of us are staying back…

For next 3 days I am going to relax completely..Now I am confused as to how to spend the free time..Sleep will be given #1 priority..Rest of time will be spent watching movies, playing sports, catching up with friends etc.,

Before we could realize, Term 1 has come to an end..Looks like I landed here only yesterday! Hmm…as Sujayath said, it’s really MBA at the speed of light! We are 12.5% through with ISB-PGP program…


Economics and Accounting…

Filed under: ISB, Diary

Both Managerial Economics and Financial Accounting were tougher than expected.

Financial Accounting was an open-book, open-notes, laptop-allowed examination. But Prof. Mark Finn clearly warned in the class that this is all a Zero-sum game. Guess what, the examination paper was very tricky, and my performance was not satisfactory…No matter how much notes, how much resource you have, you cannot solve the question paper, unless you have practiced well before…Well, I took heart from that fact that even Chartered Accountants found it tough…and word is that one of the CA couldn’t balance!

After finishing the exam at 1 p.m, had to take quick lunch and get ready for another googly, in the form of Managerial Economics, at 2:30. This was a closed-book, closed-notes exam. This exam too was tougher, with severe time-crunch. Again not-so-satisfactory performance…:-(

When we came out of the examination hall, there was a heavy rain and wind. Even gods were protesting the tough standards of question paper!!

With another 2 exams on Tuesday, I cannot afford to relax…so slept for 30 minutes and started another marathon…I have been reading only Statistics so far…God knows what will happen with Marketing…
