Back to classes after a fabulous weekend

This was probably one of the best weekends i have had at ISB so far.Had a closed SV1 party on thursday night and yesterday, we had this awesome party organized by the GSB.This was just all fun, what with the tug-o-war competition between sections, the baloon breaking competition which literally all the guys and girls chasing each other (Ahem....To break the baloons tied to thier feet) It really was a funny sight.I think this party was really successful because the excellent spirit shown by all involved.

To top it all off we had an information session for prospective students today, and somehow talking to so many people really energized me ( i had volunteered for the admission comittee)....maybe this is something i should take forward into career...more people intensive, team oriented activities i guess.

Well back to the rigmarole of Cases, Classes and Class Participation next week....but definitely more energy than i had last week.

Fresh from a break!!

Term 3 just started this week and most of us seem refreshed after the term break(At least i can talk for myself).The Leg has healed as per schedule and Iam back up on my feet.Ia very happy to be mobile and active after these past 1.5 months.

Classes are in full swing and we have five courses this semester -- Operations management, managerial accounting, Entrepreneurship,Corporate finance and Leadership development program.This is a like a real core term and I expect this to be the most intensive one which will probably require the most effort.Funny, though, because it seems like every term is pretty tough and the next one seems even tougher.The course we do are just rushing by and its a wonder how much i will retain by the end of this year.

This term Operation seems the most promising, followed by entrpreneurship and corporate finance.Something that i keep reiterating, i dont think any other B-school will get the kind of of portfolio of professors that we are exposed to here at ISB and I really feel our syllabus is cutting edge.Its great to see the kind of energy each of these profs have and hopefully it will all rub off on us.

Hoping to be completely back to normal in the next couple of weeks and then its back to the grind of the final exams ;(
