The new class

Tuesday, March 07, 2006

Have been reading a few 2007 Class blogs… have been talking to a few of them… have been mailing a few of them… so at that lil time between waking up and brushing the teeth today afternoon (!), me and my quadie were talking of this new bunch who would take over this place from us in a month from now…

How they would have fun all through pre-term and suddenly something called Term-1 would hit them hard… how they would have their first group meeting on Thursday evening for the Gillette case and go mad reading the exhibits… how they would do this case for 4 days non-stop and then think they have achieved something great in life… and before someone appreciates them for it, Rohm & Haas would be on its way along with those ruthless eco problem sets ;-)

Stats midterm would be an exam for many after umpteen years and before you know the first term would have begun and ended… Markstrat would be the hero of second term as the study group that slowly started knowing each other starts running after each other’s throats again!!

Every term someone would remind that this is the last toughest term (according to some alum) – no one really knows that each of the alums have a different term as a tough term ;-)

As the terms fly and core terms end, placement reality would slowly start seeping in, half the batch would know what they want to do, the rest would decide after a few electives!!

Paper presentations, case presentations and business plans would rule the world for a few terms all for those bullet points that should add glamour to the resumes.

Assignments, deadlines, competitions, mid-terms, exams, night-outs, grades would happen whether you like it or not… make sure there is time to live and think too!!

Can imagine how excited the new batch is! As I laze around in this place, waiting for reality to hit me soon, the good year is still fresh and blooming. Hope its great for each one of them who is gonna be here soon :-)
