Spring Term

Firstly a very happy new year 2008 to all of you and wish you all the luck this year. I have been missing from the blogging scene for just over a month. But I hope to change that and post here more frequently.

This term we have 2 core and 2 assessed electives with an option to choose an extra sit-in module without being assessed. I would call this term as “real” MBA term as most of my modules are focussed around strategy. My modules for this term are strategic advantage (core), modelling & analysis (core), operations strategy (elective), management of change (elective), and corporate finance (sit-in). I have taken the maximum as I don’t want to miss out on any of these key modules but this also means this term will be very hectic for me.

Apart from these five modules I am doing French level1, part of SSLC, POM project, running presentations club, looking for internship & jobs etc. I have already started to feel the heat as I am missing out on lots of pre-reading for lectures. Also, I have started to believe that this term is even more hectic than term1. My time management skills are under serious test here…

Cool Mannhmeirs

The term2 or spring term started on 7th Jan with some new faces from Mannheim Business School, Germany and a couple of other exchange students (one from HEC, Paris and another from Schulich School of Business, York University, Canada).

This terms mannheimers are a bit different than last term, the major difference I see is their number (only 6 this time) and their average height…oh boy! these guys are tall…their average height (including the two ladies) would be somewhere about 6 ft? Probably one common thing between all mannheimers is their attitude; these guys are very friendly and we had a good welcome party last Friday at student union for them. Obviously, we missed our term1 mannheimers.
