The second term lectures have finally started, with the Operations (Term 1) exam on the first day, I did not do the exam particularly well, but was happy that I could actually talk about some of my previous experiences in the light of the theory that we have been taught.
I got some results, and as usual I am above the average and that is all that I want, basically this is not an academic challenge for me, the MBA is more of a life-changing experience, which in fact is happening in my life. We have the VCIC competition next week, and our team is preparing well towards that. I am happy on that part. I also had a good week with a few other things to do in terms of business after MBA. All that I need to now do is focus on the opportunities at hand and select the path that I would take.
I attended the briefing on the field trip which was arranged by Challenges worldwide, and in fact I was very impressed at the opportunities, some saw it as a data collection exercise, some saw it as an audit, but to me, meeting five entrepreneurs in the social sector, with a reasonably successful (at-least they got to be examined by a multinational NGO, and found fit for further investigation) record in a space of five days and discussing with them their business to date and the future is simply too exciting to resist. I hope nothing spoils my plans to do this IBE.
I learnt a few new things in Law, which I havent learnt before, primarily because all the law that I had learnt was in India. I also learnt a few new things about strategy and economics, which are two exciting subjects for this term in addition to financial management, which might be sounding familiar to me, given my background.
Burns night is fast approaching and we did some shopping for the formal dinner dress at London. My visit to London also allowed me to meet my friend from Mumbai, who was on a short term trip. I also went around the National Gallery in London, which was very good in terms of richness of its pictures.
Gradually but surely I am moving towards many opportunities (outside being employed) to live after the MBA, which is very very exciting. I think I am in the right direction, hope God brings me through it...
