My first year of doing somthing I've always wanted to do is drawing to a close. I'll be half an MBA in exactly 10 days.
Its been quite a year, I must admit. I really wasn't quite sure of my decision when I joined here. A new place, so no track record. If I didnt join, that would mean another gamble at that national lottery called CAT. It was a hellish week before I finally sent in the acceptance letter. The thing that finally weighed in favour was the people behind the "project". As far as I have heard, very little these people have been associated with, have gone wrong.
But no regrets since month one. It took me quite a while to get used the system of study and level of work required here. Actually, it took all of us some time to get used to it. Slowly we realised the merits of co-operation, as the first set of tests and assignments hit us. Term 1 seemed rather long, probably because it was the first experience away from home. Term 2 had a Christmas break, so there was a break in between and this made things better. But the third term has just whizzed by. Didn't even realise the time fly. One day we were being given our term projects due at the end of the term, but it seemed like just a few weeks later that we were reminded that the projects were due the next week. And now just 10 days to go.
I've seen movies more frequently here than I ever have. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But you won't run that risk here. There's enough work to do, but we've always found a way to make time for fun. I guess that's how mba teaches you time management!!! :P
I've actually read more books than I have during the past few years. I've taking advantage of the speed of internet here and been downloading e-books left, right and centre. I've built up quite a collection .:D I wasn't too keen on e-books, but I have learnt to make do with what I have.
What have I learnt and how much has this education actually impacted me?That's something that requires a fair bit of introspection for which my approaching exams does not give me time. I hope I'll survive the next week of marathon exams. Then its home sweet home, before I start on my summer project.
My books beckon me longling, while I beg to tarry a while.....but the sooner I get to it the better it will be...
