So I survived the trimester. By survival I mean I'm alive.. not that I successfully passed the trimester. This is a eulogy for my Eco grade. ... may it rest in peace since it will be incapable of doing anything else other than sinking my gpa beyond repair.
So much for that. I'm home now, averaging 12 hours of sleep. I think my mom gets alarmed sometimes at how much I can sleep. Oh if only she saw the days and nights I've spent without sleep trying to figure out the best way to get hold of someone who's done the assignment that's due in two hours (and which we've known about for at least three weeks previously).
We have these case presentations in which we put up our 'learnings' at the end of the case. I will follow that format.... except I'm putting my learnings from my trimester in the middle of this post.From IIFT I have learnt - :
1. How to be an ace googler
2. How to sleep in 15 minute snatches in a 2x2 ft space
3. That sometimes guesswork really does pay
4. That sometimes guesswork is the only option you may have
5. How to cheat using sms, cheat sheets, bathroom visits AND not feel guilty about it
6. That you will feel hungry only when there is no food around and no possibility of getting any
7. That weekends are a myth.
8. That a surprise test can be announced the day before.. so much for a surprise
9. That inspite of knowing about the surprise test you will still do miserably in it
10. .... and most importantly - no matter how much you get to sleep.. it's NEVER enough.......
11. ... actually another equally important one - most of the times alcohol can solve a lot of problems... or if it can't it can sure as hell make you think they're non existent, which is as good a state of being as any!
excuse me for sounding a little sarcastic... but I'm sure most mba's will corroborate.Well actually it's time for me to catch up on some more sleep.. so this post ends here.
