Welcome to Term II

So here we start again.. cases, group assignments, lectures .. nothing new or interesting in this.
But we do have something to add spice to this routine now.. INTERNSHIP HUNT. So while we are struggling to submit case ontime and to stay awake in classes, we also have to look in for internships - 3 month short job where we work in company and supposedly learn something new.

Wow isnt it wonderful. As if we were having loads of free time up our sleeves to take on this 'Extra responsibility'. I propose we should have one term just for internship hunt and nothing else. It will do loads of good to each one of us.

To make matters worse I have still not decided about my modules for the term. I am still doing flip-flop between strategy and finance modules. Hoping to sort that out in a day or two.

With winters getting milder with each passing day, I am relieved that atleast I have one less thing to take care of. Still will take precautions.

Keep looking for updates. Lot of action in this term. I am sure I will squeeze some time to post in stuff here n there..

One of my fav quotes is ....

Music is the pause between two notes..

Reading break .. almost over

We had our exams .. we had our reading break
Its over now.. I slept a little more than I did in term 1 but not much. So many things to do. So many miles to go before I sleep...

Reading break was hectic partly due to our Career Development Program (CDP) activities which included sessions with industry experts on all sort of things like networking, presentations, internships etc. Sometimes it was fun. Besides this also applied for internships with couple of employers. Waiting for interview call. Next week we start with our next term. Still not decided about modules I am gonna take. With search for internships going on along with studies, this term will be busier.

Last week took one day off and went to hiking. It was fun. Enjoyed it. Will post the pics soon.
Keep looking for updates on this page. Lot of things happening ...

First Flashstorm almost over

Some facts about the first flash-storm
- Lasted Six weeks
- Understood Financial modeling for Cash Budget/Evaluation of projects
- Learnt the basics of Investment including portfolio mgmt and various models
- Forced my way through the thick notes of statistics
- Managed to stay awake in all the lectures of world economy, demand & supply and pricing strategies
- Read the entire in depth saaga of ENRON..

This is just a snapshot of what I did in last six weeks. Guess what !!! I got my exams for this term in a week's time from now. I can't believe it. Its over. First term is over (almost). This prog is really fast. Last three weeks had been tough. No time to sleep. You have to manage between lectures and readings. Also we are suppose to try for our internships through our own initiatives. I mean.. gimme a break. We are humans.. We have to have food and proper rest. Also some weekend get aways. Not spend 40 hours out of 48 on a financial case. But this is what I did in these six weeks. There were some good things and some not so good things.
