Back to Classes

New year started on a good note but soon everything around came crashing down ofcourse due to my stupidity. On 3rd went out in a T and played badminton and came back all charged up in freezing temp of Vancouver, though it was bright n sunny outside. I got cold - fever - cough and what not. Next five days were probably the worst of mine in Vancouver so far. Totally on bed rest, couldnt do much but hoping to recover soon. Last week classes started off and it was total chaos. So many things to learn but can pick just four. umm.. finally after one week of detailed discussions and board room meeetings (hehehehe), I have decided about the modules I am gonna pick. I would say its an informed decision and hope that it turns out to be a good decision in the end.

One thing is clear. Coming days are not gonna be fun. Lot of work .. lot of study .. n very less sleep. I thought core (Sem 1) was toughest but .. .. .. . Also need to initiate things on internship. LEts see how it goes. My first exp of trying to get in I-Banking was a failure but a good learning lesson. hoping to build upon that and move on. Had a word with second year students. They all are saying just one thing. Have fun in MBA. These are your best days. I am still not able to figure out how in this good world is this fun? May be I need to redefine my definition of 'fun'. Ohh yes.. u see my last posts.. I promised that I will have fun.. I guess thats the way to go about it. Tweak your definition of fun a bit and enjoy your studies and voila.. m having fun while reading those big books of Investments and Corporate finance.

Winter in Vancouver has just started to set in. Temperatures are normally below zero deg but yes there is no rain. Also if we are lucky we get some sun shine. Thats what I like about it.
Lets see how long this continues.

Today we got some sunshine. Alrite now I m going out to have some fun.
Motto for coming times: 'Attitude is the key ...'

yup dear ! things are just as u look at them. For u , being a fresher, MBA can be a ' knowledge Hunt'. And its good to have this kind of attitude. May God bestow you with the persistance of ur attitude. But its not so with most of the other guys....rest i m not a management student so far..so can't say anything...

And about Fun! what i think is that " don't allow the oil to spill out of the spoon and enjoy the every luxury of this palace called world".
You must recall the story in "The Alchemist".
