Term Three ends

This week we had the official close of term 3 lectures, atleast for me it was a real close too, with only entrepreneurship presentation remaining.  The next week would be spent in Uganda, the most exciting week of MBA I guess with a completely different experience from whatever I have had till today.

Progress, even though informal was made in both my entrepreneurship projects, and after a really long time I played cricket with me opening the bowling for our MBA team, even though I would not boast of the performance, I was happy that I played, in some unknown way it was a very satisfying event.

People have just started talking about the next batch, life after Cranfield and such things more than the MBA itself, many of my classmates have started getting jobs that is a happy news and an encouraging sign for many including me, even though I am not planning to compete for a job, having the group placed at the earliest is always good.  By end of June things on both entrepreneurship initiatives would look more clear.

Another important event that happened during the past week is the European Business Plan of the year contest, which included teams from all over Europe and Hurrah... Cranfield team won, this is the first time that a Cranfield team is winning this competition and I am happy to have seen that fully.  I also observed their presentation and found their commitment and passion winning over many other technologically advanced and probably even more commercially sensible teams.  I learnt a lot about how VCs filter the requests that they receive.  We also had an informal video chat with a VC who threw in his practical views about this.

Already looking forward to term 4 after the IBE.
