Week # 18 - Doing nothing is fun too ..

Wooohoooo ... Term 3 is over ... The toughest ( as ancestors say) is over ..

Ok ok .. lets go chronologically ...
Monday was exam day .. CorpFin came and took all of us with a storm .. people say that anyone who said that he knew answers to most of the questions is bluffing ... forget most the same statement was for few questions too.. I myself found as many as 4 true statements when the question was "Which one is true" :-0... In Corp Fin we say " All is well that ends"...

Madm was long and boring .. i hope i did ok in that .. an A (Howzzzat) will make me happy .. but not sure .. i always keep some space for probability and my silly mistakes.. lets c whats in store ..

Operations was bad.. i made lotsa silly mistakes .. fortunately few were in last step of BIG numericals.. lets c what happens ... an A- would definitely hurt ...

Then came the term break.. I slept on tuesday and i woke up on friday.. i actually dint step out of my studio for 2 days .. i love doing nothing ... I saw a few movies which were pending for years now... "The Shawshank Redemption" needs a special mention for sure .. GodLike movie with an eternal message of hope ... few dinners with wifey and friends and thats all..

i m penning this on monday 10:30 AM and have a class at 1:45...

Term 4 is shouting " here I come" ... it is a short term... will be over in 33 days flat ... end to end .. so lots of classes but assignments are fewer this time .... more focus on individual performances.. exams have a higher weightage .. i hope to not-commit any silly mistakes atleast this time ...

Quoting Andy Dufrense (from The Shawshank Redemption) -
HOPE IS A GOOD THING... IT PROBABLY IS THE BEST OF THINGS ...

Week 17 - Fatigued by exams !!

I have started disliking it ... Specially when I dont understand what's going on .. Corporate finance was one such subject in which I could not understand a thing .. the worst part , exams were conceptual , the best part noone knew the concepts. Sure there were gods and geeks few and far in between but it remained, for a change, land of mortals ...

Last week went into finalizing the Entrepreneurship report. Thanks to Arvind, the CEO of Reverie we did manage a decent report. Hopefullt grades would reflect that ... Apart from that not much to do , just 4 assignments ... In retrospection 4 assignments a week now sound kind of chilled .. There was panic as end terms of MADM and OPMG were carrying lot of weightage given the absense of mid terms in these subjects ...

More on End terms later.. This term break is not free as there is a lot of backlog on ELP which we need to cope up with ...

GodSpeed !!!

Week 16 - Hectic as expected

A hectic week full of assignments and submissions...
This week too was the usual... we were running around to meet the deadlines and were definitely enjoying it .. though we are used to it but so are we to use expletives describing our misery ....

the weekle posts are getting smaller and smaller because the delta in eperience from a week to another is reducing.. every week has an assignment lineup to be finished ... every class has a case or 2 to read and analyze and prepare and discuss and note bulleted points and take printouts and carry them to class and do arbit CP and come back and take out the course pack to read next day's case and the vivisious cycle continutes ...

This weekend is last before the end terms and i m actually having a terribly time ... I corp fin class I feel i am at/ a 5 star hotel... where does one pay 5000 to sleep for 2 hours :-)

OPMG is fun and I should be able to pull it off to an A- easily .. similarly MADM ( worst subject at ISB till date ) .... i hope i can run tha extra mile to make my grade sheet look a bit better ...

For Term 2 grades of 3 subjects are out ..
DMOP = A (Finally I broke the A- jinx)
GLEC = A- ( despite scoring 91.3% marls ; B ranged from 84 to 90.6 and A started from 92.9)
(I have a silly mistake to mourn upon , in one submission 1 page was not printed properly and the cost of not checking is 1 grade .. this is the 4th subject in which I missed an A grade by < 2 marks)
MKDM = A- ( Jinx is back)
CSTR - I am not expecting A.. so A- it will be ...

End terms preparation eed to start but there are 5 assignments which are due this week ..

GodSpeed !!!

Week 15 - Transition from chilled to spine chilling !!!

Enough of chilling around..
this week was chill till the weekend and then came the supe duper hectic weekend ...

i had 9 activities to complete over weekend but ended up finishing 3 , postponing 2 and dropping 4 of them..

end terms are around already and way too many assignments to be finished before that ...

its only going to get worse for next 2 weeks ..

sorry for the short post !!!

Week 14 - Chilled one too !!

It is proven. It is fina. Term 3 is not at all hectic as term 1 or term2. Or is it that we have become efficient. Naah !! its definitely the former.... The only reason term 3 is chilled because there is no midterm in 3 subjects.

This week was similar to last week.. chilled week , chilled weekend and then jam packed sunday.... Sunday demanded time for assignments. :-)

I took part in few competitions which could have made life tougher.. but none seemed to attract me finally or have deadlines later... Lets see how they go finally...

Corp fin midterm is round the corner. Gotta start studying.
