Final exams loom large

Stats midterm over...went OK....Marketing case submitted...went pretty OK...now comes the acid test.The finals are coming really fast on us and i dont i think iam mentally ready for 4 final on two days.We had a change of guard in marketing and stats and the new profs are not half as much fun as the other 2, but life goes on.

Sadly one of our alumni from ISB passd away today and it is a sad day for the batch.The election tommorow have been postponed in mourning.

On an aside, i think our study group is starting gel and work well as team now after the initial hiccups.Hopefully we have done better on our marketing case this time around.the days are rushing past, but the weeks seem to be dissapearing faster.....more later.

Into the business end of the term!

We are into the 3rd week of the course and i think everyone is starting to feel the heat a little bit now.The course load kind of fluctuates for each of the courses during the term but towards the end, its like all hell brike loose.We have just passed halfway point now and the speed is definitely picking up.

Today we are hosting a party for a couple of the faculty who are leaving back for the US tommorow.Bob stine for stats and scott ward for marketing.I really did enjoy bob`s classes and he will be replaced by his counterpart richard waterman now.Asim ansari from columbia univ is taking over in marketing.

@ the halfway point of term one and mid term and final exam jitters have already started now.When will this term end....and when can i head back to chennai for this well deserved break!!!

More maybe over the weekend (Read monday evening, Sundays are usually screwed up with assignment submissions.)

First week@ISB winds down

Whew.....this really has been a hectic week.Most of the i.e upto thursday we have only just been catching up with studying for each of the four courses, and then came the weekend, when were supposed to relax and chilout etc ;).......Oh No....I have a case submission and an economics assignment due monday, not to mention having to practice stats and accounting (I think my vision kind of blurred at the end of the last accounts class...no sleep i guess)

Well, all said and done, it has been a busy but good week.there was a party at SVI (where i live) which was kind of a flop show.Our study group is very focussed and we were able to complete most of the case writeup by today.I think tommorow we would primarily be focussing on completing the Economics assignments.

If You are wondering why I have not been talking about any of the extra-curricular activities in the last few posts.....thats bcos, i have not had any !!!! I guess i need to start squeezing more time from my schedule.

More tommorow about the fiasco with Student Jungle 1 ;)

Into the first week of classes

We are well into the first week of classes and I can now see why this course is so hectic.We have to self study for almost every class .Almost the entire day is taken up by these classes and work.On top of this we also have to keep up with the assignments and practice problems if we have to make any sense of the classes and the big exams at the end.

Already there is a case submission next monday and an economics assignment on the same day.Also there some practise problems in accounting and stats to be looked at.I think detailed scheduled needs to be started now!!!!!
