Week 6 - Term 1 hits and misses !!!

Term 1 is over. Faster than a flash. It has been only a wink since I checked into ISB and i am already 12.5% MBA.

Frantic !!!
Crazy !!!
Awesome !!!

Term exams were an eye opener to all my preparations and dedications. Accounting was ok but as usual I made some silly mistakes.
Eco was a disaster. I did not expect that anything which was given 3 minutes in class will have weightage of 6 marks out of 36. Even better something untouched garnered 3 marks weightage.
Stats was easy as expected and I made silly ones as expected. Marketing was faff and I along with everyone gave the best possible gyaan I could give in that limited time with my limited skills.

I am not expecting much...

Then came the much deserved break of 5 days .. To compound the fun mom is here ... went on for shopping , eating mom-cooked delicacies round the clock and watched a movie ( finally !!!) after 2 months ... Lotsa fun ..

Had 2 half days of LDP sessions .. 3 more full days to go ... The sessions were regular gyaan.. I attended Emotional intelligence ( which was more of emotional atyachaar) and time management ( which ended 25 minutes late) ... still there were few take aways which will see light of this blog in coming week if time permits ....

Hits of term 1

1) ISB - An amazing break after 78 months of working hard(ly?)
2) O-Week and talent nite - Seemed hectic then and now i know it was lull before the storm.
3) Elections :- Some great take aways ( my week 5 post is on this)

Misses of term 1

1) Grades :- I would be lying if I say I dint want them. Everybody wants them.
2) Class economist :- One thing I would regret. It would have been fun but alas my time-mismanagement.

Take aways from term 1

Manage time if you want the best at ISB. There is a lot to do ... Hope to use this in term 2 though I know it is tough for careless me ....

Lets C..

Term 2 is again a level playing field. It is a New beginning. New hopes , New subjects , New time table and this happens every 6 weeks.

P.S. - Have bought TT and Baddy racquets and I own a yonex lawn tennis racquet ( thanks pa) too .. So more distractions for me to learn time management ...

Stay tuned !!!
