Saturday, July 31, 2004 Arrived at Durham - Duke, Fuqua School of Business So I finally arrived at my dream place where I would spend the next two years. The long journey was just fine, though marred with delays and other baggage difficulties. When I visited Duke, I liked the place and it reminded me of my previous school where I did my graduation. Things seem to moving fast in the next gear as I catch up with settling in. I hope to set up my home , furniture and other essential items before my class start on 8th. Now, is also the time to do some more introspection about career choices, so I will work on that as well. BTW, a good resource for researching your careers is CareerLeader. Also recommended for prospective applicants.

Hence the last week saw a spurt of shopping, packing up, preparation for the next 1 year. This coming week and weekend will be hectic in Durham.Also I wouldnt have a car for couple of days and I need to movein to the new apartment this weekend and set up things. I am keeping my fingers crossed for interesting times ahead. Best wishes to all of you travelling to your dream schools :) posted by Ravi Trivedi | 12:24 AM | Sunday, July 18, 2004 After the long vacation for last 14 days, I am finally back in town. I had the opportunity to travel for over 96 hours in Train , visit 4 places and meet lot of friends and relatives. Unfortunately, I had bad connectivity in the boondocks, so it helped me to stay away from net :). Now, that I am back, I am trying to catch up on things and prepare myself for the flight to Durham this month end.I also recieved the Health Sector Management packet , so I have some pre-reading to do on this new topic. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 8:58 AM | Friday, July 02, 2004 My first stop After a long train journey, I have reached my home (parents place) today morning. The last day was hectic to the last minute with few hiccups and twists. In the end, things went fine and I was able to shift around 80kg of my luggage back home. In the long journey , I had the chance to finish "The Goal" which is related to Operations Management -- Theory of Constraints to be precise. I have done a basic course in Operations and have liked the subject. hence, this this book was an excellent read for me. Even for people with no knowledge of Operations this book is a novel. Like any of my first read, I ran past the operations problems with a rough hunch -- a bit like a novel. I think I will need another reading of those sections to appreciate the book. My next train trip starts exactly 26 hours from now... In the meanwhile, I have finished work on Duke Opportunity Loan and Immunization. So now it is time to work on application for Exemption for few first year courses, ordering Laptop and my BWeek Journal. Yes, I managed to take an extension for BWeek Journal, since my essays werent good enough. :) Like all last minute things, I hope I can sneek this in time as well. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 8:57 PM | |
