My MBA life

Today I dropped my laptop!! My Rs.60,000+ HP laptop, it just slipped and crashed to the floor. I really had no clue as to what would happen when I started it up, but thank God, there were no signs of damage. It was Finance class and I was late, I was still panting from the long walk to class and in a hurry to get things set up I pulled my system and it just fell out of my hand. Everything said and done, no problems.
Apart from that, life is going on as it normally does in a b-school, assignments, cases, presentations, the rigour goes on day in and day out. After a point it all becomes so very natural. There is a mountain of work to be done.
QM-I is taking its toll on the whole class. We have a great prof. who'll go out of his way to ensure everyone understands the concepts, the onus is now on us to out in our part. I had actually started out on my MBA journey quite apprehensive about this subject. It doesn't seem all that bad now. Its all a question of mindset. If you want to do something, you just have to set your mind to it. No matter how tough it may seem in the beginning, you will get there.
Regarding the other subjects we have in Term I, Marketing I is Kotler and a bunch of cases. We also have a project submission left which reminds me that I still haven't completed my research on the topic. Finance is not an issue, this term atleast. Not sure about how things will be next term on. The engineers are finding the going hard as there is so much to cover. But from the way things are going, looks like they'll have an upperhand by the time the term is over. The challenge for the commerce grads is to not get complacent!!
OB-I is a paper we have no idea how to tackle. The classes are full of cases, and some theoretical application. We had a quiz a couple of weeks back, fared quite pathetically considering that it was an open book. The problem was that we had no idea what to write, there was just so much!!
