Term 4 begins tommorow

So the spring break is over, it just disappeared in no time. I have a really full term 4. I am doing a overload, and so am doing four courses - Corporate Finance , Economics of Health Care, Strategy and Forecasting. Beside this, we need to wind up our Small Business Consulting (SBC)Practicum. As always, we still need to do quite a bit to finish the SBC practicum.

With three classes on Monday (Thursday), I need a lot of caffiene to keep me active for the 6.45 hours of teaching. At the same time, I am happy with my load, cause the more busy I get the more efficient I am.

Term 4 is also the time when we FY's start transitioning into SY. It feels very different to be called a SY. I have also been involved in few leadership positions, and this is the time for preparing budgets, and planning for next year for our club.

Exams are Over!!

Done... Over... Feels good :). Now its time to enjoy the long spring break till 20th March. This break is longer, as the school has planned time for the GATE trips.

I will be off to visit my old time classmates in Dallas. Nothing much just time lazying around, and I am so glad that I am having a change from daily routine.

The next term will be busy with four full courses -- considering I did only two courses ( and 1 Small Business Consulting Practicum) in third term. So all the more reason, I should relax more and put on some more pounds ;).

Last week of Term 3

I just finished my last class of term 3. The exams are this weekend and next monday. In no time, we are at the end of term 3. After this term, is the long spring break till 20th March. Good time to visit friends and relax. After the internship search is done, life looks very different.

Welcome Class of 2007

The yahoo group and boards are buzzing with Class of 2007. I spoke to a lot of new admits and it looks like the class is very talented, diverse and enthusiastic people. For people who are in middle of making decisions between schools, read my friend "Tagad's writeup "Choosing a Business School"

I strongly recommend all ( international or domestic) students visit the admit weekends at schools [ Blue Devil Weekend etc]. Even if it is a matter of spending another $3-4k, think of the $100k investment you are making, that too which is lifelong. Think of how much time you spend while purchasing a car.

To get a fair understanding of a school, speak with as many people as you can. This will eliminate subjective opinion people have. Once you have all the information, and your feel on where you fit is , you will be in a better position to make an informed decision.

My 2 cents.
