Day 40 - 5th August 2010

Had a pretty weird schedule today, there was a two and a half hour break between two lectures. First lecture was at 9 and the second was at 1245. Used the time between lectures to do some interface work. Also had the fingerprint recognition done today, though I believe it'll come into effect only from next term. Couldn't sleep in the afternoon because of a health checkup that had to be done for all students. Got done with that and had another MLS session on challenges in the communication industry. The speaker was quite good and the line that stuck with me was "Your time spent at a B school doesn't determine your first job but it determines your last job."

The deadline for the CS assignment being tomorrow,our group sat to give some finishing touches to the ads. Unfortunately for me the lack of sleep took its toll and I ended up sleeping through the most of the discussion! Feeling a little guilty about it now. Was woken up at around 330 after which I got back to my room. The deadline for the assignment is 5 p.m tomorrow,hope it comes out well!

Day 35 - 31st July 2010

In spite of sleeping for less that four hours I was feeling so energized in the morning, the only reason being today was the last day of a long and winding week. Had only one lecture in the morning on eco. No test today as well, though the prof. did walk in with answer sheets,he loves playing with our emotions ;-) Had an hour long break before the next session so did tp at Chota. We had our last class on CT today, the prof. seemed to be in a good mood today and was cracking a lot of jokes. He managed to keep the 2 hour session pretty lively. Today's class continued a bit on how Hollywood is used to influence the mood of a nation with some more examples and then moved on to a bit of media studies. The movie screened today was an English movie called the music box. It seemed to have been made at a time when the US was riding high on anti-communist sentiments. Yours truly slept off for sometime, and apparently was snoring as well :-S. In spite of that I still managed understand the plot and got the story at the end.

In the evening went to Gulmohar Mall to buy a tennis racquet. Have always wanted to buy a Wilson, got an amazing deal on one today. Bought a some clothes as well. I realised that I like to shop alone, it gets done very fast. Got back to campus by around 930. Since tomorrow is a rest day there is a friday night mood that has consumed most of PGP1. Had our first Team Interface meeting today, met the senior committee at midnight at Chota. Just a general meeting briefing us on our responsibilities. Nobody,including me, is in the mood to sleep and hence this post is being typed at 415 a.m. Guess my day will start in the afternoon today as well :-)

Day 23 - 19th July 2010

10.30 a.m. - Wake up to get placement data verified.
11.30 a.m.- Come back and hit the sack again.
1 p.m. - Lunch
1.30 p.m. - Siesta
4p.m - Pushed myself out of bed, though would have loved to continue sleeping!

In the evening decided to go for a haircut. This place is so cheap! What used to cost me 100 bucks in Bangalore costs 30 bucks out here(and he threw in a free head massage), talk about value for money :-D. During the course of the day also got to know that I didn't make the cut for MICANVAS. Guess I screwed up my second round interview/assignment,cant help it now. Other committee selections have also started, don't think I'll be applying for any of them now. Would definitely volunteer for events though.

Lectures again from tomorrow, just saw the time table - got a pretty rigorous week ahead!

Day 20 - 16th July 2010

Miraculously sat through lectures today with without feeling too sleepy(slept for 45 mins last night or should I say this morning), but got knocked out after lunch with 3 hours of sleep feeling like 3 minutes! I also realized another thing about B-school life which might hold good for life in general from now on - it is bloody competitive! In college and at office I took a lot of things for granted. Now I feel privileged to have got opportunities to do things which I enjoyed. After coming here its hit me that everybody is like that and you've really got to stand out to be counted. All this enlightenment is courtesy the MICANVAS selection procedure;-)

In the evening tried to study a bit of marketing, although interesting to read its very difficult to prepare for it from an examination point of view. That's another thing about this course, there is so much of stuff to read that one needs to be smart enough to know what to read and what can be skipped, unfortunately I am yet to acquire those skills.Spent the rest of the evening doing general tp. While talking to a friend today about the dream job experience I remembered these poems written by one of my friends from the show. Its a nice little ego massage and is also fun to relive those 15 days in Delhi.

Its been a relatively quiet evening/night compared to what has been happening over the past few days, don't want to spoil it and will try and get some shut eye now,hopefully it shall be an undisturbed affair. Don't know when I'll be able to sleep before midnight after this!
