It's exactly 3 months since college has started for me here in AIM.3 months of awesome fun sans responsibilities; enjoying life to full marginal utility so to speak.After another awesome drinking session with friends, I am back in my room and with classes just 2 hrs away, I guess it's the perfect time to retrospect.
Given the mindset with which I had left India to do my MBA, I can easily say that those dreams were too lofty at best to fulfill.After just a week into the MBA I realized that hard work was one virtue that someone doing an MBA can't overlook or under emphasize.Few of my batch mates have defined new standards of handwork in context of an MBA and I am no one to compete with them.
With this rule imprinted on my mind n body there was only one thing to do and that was to enjoy life at Manila and party harder than ever.
The past 3 months have been a blur and though I did keep a track of each day as it happened (Something for which Amrita has already given me a hard time), the past few weeks have just rolled by like a supersonic train.
All my aspirations as an MBA student have evaporated and just like I did in engineering my main aim now has transcended to be able to just clear off each subject with a min grade of "P" or "P+"...:)...Well there goes my ambition...
But over the last three months I have realized that one of the important virtues which I need to develop is "patience" and to "control my anger" in public.The last few days have been suicidal to say the least picking fights with best of friends for no rhyme or reason.On top of that, I have been really lax towards my assignments and studying.Not that it matters much in the current scenario but yes looking at the way I am going, it could be very soon before I take a tumble for the worse.
Anyways with just 17 official days left before the dreaded term 1 ends all eyes are on the 6 day break and everyone has already starting planning for the trip out of town during that period.Hopefully I land up in a beautiful beach with friends sipping on beer all day long.
Well 3 months since AIM started and after numerous occasions of attending lectures I am in a dilemma to whether attend prof. LT's next FM-1 lecture which begins precisely in an hr and thirty mins without having had a wink of sleep.Well this should be a new experience which I am very excited to experience, so wish me luck...
I guess the success rate of surviving today's 2 lectures will go a long way in deciding whether my current lifestyle will help me stay just under the learning curve for the rest of the term.
Wish me luck...
