I noticed that it has been close to 4 months since I wrote my last post and the past few months have certainly been very eventful and a super excited journey. True to my word, I've indulged myself in many things that I've never even dreamed of in my life. I'ved tried my hand at shooting a video for a case competition while simultaneously being mistaken as a quidditch society member, attended lectures on the Entertainment industry and met the CEO of National Geographic (who would have thought), got a loyalty card in Addenbrookes accident & emergency, attended formal dinners wearing gowns in some of the oldest colleges of Cambridge (No Trinity yet) and most importantly realized that accounting and Smirnoff are inseparable (thanks to Prof. Meeks). I am even more excited when I think of what awaits me: a consulting project in the middle east followed by a trip to Israel to participate in a case competition (if all goes well). And the biggest event that the whole school is pumped about is MBAT!
Ofcourse I am talking only about the highs, and there are both some illusive and actual lows when you do a stressful course as the MBA. For one thing I often feel guilty of not spending any time reading books (Infact I haven't bought even a single one :). With so many things happening around me - case studies, group meetings, assignments, networking events, recruitment cycles etc., I hardly have time to read the hardbound monstrous volumes of strategy and corporate finance. I am sure the MBA will have to be 3 years if I had to read it all and the 1 year format is really really fast. But I also realize that my learning is abundant and continuous, with the sources being the most unlikely of places. So, that is all for a recap of my past few months in a half sleepy state. More when I can, until then keep calm & enjoy studying!
PS: I forgot that I have converted from a category non-buyer of energy drinks to a frequent buyer. Redbull gives me wings! :)
