Week 27 and 28 !!

My Bad... This the second time I am combining 2 posts in one ... but then it was beyond my control...
The taxing max week (week 26 , my previous post) spilled all over week 27 and then week 27 had its surprises for week 28 and week 29 now stares at us with 6 deliverables due in next 100 hours ...

Week 27 was marked with competitions ... The flavor of the season, as I have already posted in a recent entry, is competitions .. Core terms are over and no one bothers about grade now .... Ok ok ... I do .. but still significantly lower than what I used to be ...

few reasons for a change in mindset
1) My core term CGPS finally is all screwed up at 3.54 ... I could have done well and I should have done weel but then "plain unlucky" title is worthy on me ...

2) Core terms CGPA are more important for campus purposes and we now need to focus on getting some spikes in our resume .. Enter competitions and its a beeline to having a spike point to talk about ...

3) I now say .. I am here for the holistic experience and not just grades ... I am lying for sure but not 100% though .. i have learnt a lot here in past 6 months and remaining few have their ows agenda ...

Few good things happened with me though.

1) I applied for my first job. Arthur D Little. Its a consulting firm and I sttand no chance of shortlisting but then its a learning too.. If selected I get an interview experience ( They take as many as 5 6 rounds ) .. An interview experience because I will not stand more than a round... simply because our case prep group is still prepping for our first meet ... And I cant blame them .. I too am in same boat... If not selected then i will hopefully be more worried and hence more bothered thusr more serious about prepping ...

2) I was able to put in decent entries ( as I always think they are ) for competitions I participated in ... No good news yet though ... VCIC was one which we could not do even though the deadlines were extended... poor team I guess ..

3) ELP is kind of on track .. The client is liking what we are offering him .. Though an earlier meet with one of the marketing heads was disappointing all in all the client understands we are doing a good job given our constraints ...

And in the regulars

Classes are an eclectic mix of boring and interesting , zero to max take aways ...
As of now I m poised to get a poorer CG i term 5 than my average of term 4 .. but I am pulling my socks .. and you know I dont really start studying till last night ....
I am sure I will be able to manage ...

Plenty of assignments due this week.. Quite a few delivered in last 2 weeks ... 2 end terms next week along with 2 competition entries and 2 more assignment...
