I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that God has made only 24 hours in a day. Welcome to Oxford, where there are so many things to do that you are bound to miss something. Or if I wish to twist my tongue, I can say that prioritization to maximize time-value is mission critical :D.
I hope I will adapt well to this, and I am enjoying the deluge of work as much as I possibly can, as you may imagine. In my mind one thing, though, is clear: I am not seeing this course as an academic one. Academics are important to some extent. Nevertheless, I have come here for the people as much as I have come for the learning.
Last week’s activities:
• Attended lectures with awesome professors
• Attended Careers Presentation by BT and Diamond Consulting
• Met my study group for discussing the Marketing assignment. After listening to some horror stories from last year, I am glad to say that our group is managing reasonably well (in terms of team dynamics) so far!
• Prepared and discussed the first draft of the pitch for Technology OBN (a student club) along with a few fellow classmates. The pitch would help us secure recognition and funds from SBS besides setting an agenda for the activities to come
• Attended a classmate’s birthday bash
• Matriculated Oxford style, wearing a subfusc
• Went for the “Sexy-subfusc” BOP
Besides this I am spending an inordinate amount of time, some may say, catching hold of my classmates and talking to them :). So far so good!
