Losing interest..??

Filed under: MBA, ISB, Diary

It’s just 3 days in to Term 6 and people are already running around with loads of assignments! I went to drop my PRICING assignment and I saw atleast 6-7 submission boxes, one for each subject!!!! Never seen such an army of submission boxes before…Wish I took my camera along!

By all probability, this will be the last ‘academic’ term. From next term on, everyone will take ‘light’ courses and shift their focus completely towards career.

As of me, after a major confusion of whether to go for 5 subjects or 4 subjects, decided to stick with 5. I like all the subjects that I have bid for..Only concern being the workload. Anyway, no looking back now. Will sail through this term somehow…The professors are all good. Pricing prof belongs to old-school. Very slow but steady. Cold calls!! Outsourcing prof is an ex-McKinsey guy, from law background, and is very articulative…Very tall too :) Marketing Metrics prof is just like Scott Ward. You know what I mean…Entertaining class. Corporate mergers and acquisitions prof is quite knowledgeable. But poor me finding it difficult to follow all the jargons. Need to catch up…The class is concept-heavy. Looks like there will be lot of take-aways from each class…Time will answer. Business performance management is a good course. Professor shook hands with each and every student before the class began!! Nice gesture…but quite cumbersome, considering 60 odd hands to shake…The first class hasn’t made much impact…hoping to extract more in further classes.

Another headache with elective terms is group formation. Each subject has different study groups. Quite difficult to keep track.

Placed order for a business suit today. I don’t have a complete suit yet. Keeping in mind the placements, this might be the right time to get it stitched.

My interest towards blogging is waning for the past few days. Motivating myself hard. Once you blog for sometime, Blogging becomes a habit. But once you break away from that habit, very difficult to get back the mode…
