Course has started....

My actual B-school course with lectures started..on Tuesday 27th May..with lectures on Financial Accounting, Organisational Behaviour and Quantitative Techniques...all three on one day..the lectures were really heavy dose of management stuff..
Initially the lecture seemed Greek-latin to me..but after some time it started making sense..After the lectures we came to know that we had to submit FA assignment on Thursday morning 9 am, there is a quiz on Tuesday on OB..thankfully nothing in QT..
Tuesday night sat till late to complete FA assignment..came back to room to read OB..i think they have dissolved sleeping pills in the OB book paper..2 mins read the book and fell asleep...very soundly asleep.. :)

Next day, Wednesday i.e. today morning had to rush since we had 4 lectures today...starting 9:30 am...there were 2 lectures of FA, then QT and finally quiz and then OB lecture..
FA was interesting since I was exposed to the raw side of accounting..

QT was the same old mathematics stuff...so was feeling really sleepy...in the start it was very difficult to control sleep and concentrate..so hit upon the novel idea to see around the class..and I could see atleast 2 of my friends sleeping in the lecture...I could hardly control my laughter watching them sleep..and that really awakened me..then started concentrating on QT lecture which was actually very good..the prof was putting lot of energy in the class..

Then came the dreaded quiz today at 3:30 pm...kuch padha nahi tha..did not know a word..but the quiz was all about common sense..so attempted the questions as they came...10 mins quiz wrapped it up in 5 mins..and went off to rest room...

OB lecture started after the quiz..i dont know what to say about OB..sometimes it seems to me as Psycho stuff...and it actually is...while flipping thru OB book came to know that OB is derived from Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology & political science...now why it is like that i dont know..but the lectures of OB are fun..say anything and the prof will support you and start a new thought of discussion...also you gotta keep saying something since there are points for class participation...in short "bakwaas karo aur marks pao..." seems to be the motto of the whole class including me :)

After the class..checked the quiz marks..there were scores of 10 and 6...I thought i had scored 6 but that was class average..i had actually scored 10 out of 10 in the quiz...was pleasantly surprised..

Came back to hostel and slept for an hour to prepare myself for the long night ahead.. :)I proved right this time and it actually turned out to be late making balance sheet for a hypothetical company till 2am in the night..assignment for FA...I still had to prepare for OB quiz tomo and FA class alongwith QT quiz day after..shit man thats lot of work still to do and here I am blogging all the way.. :)

"QT was the same old mathematics stuff...so was feeling really sleepy" :) reminds of the good ol' days in B12 bang.... used to sleep on the front benches.

Congratulations on bagging the admission to a top ranked MBA program. I'm in the same boat for 2009. Could you please write a few words on the classroom experience at the GMBA? What is the class like? How diverse / talented / experienced do you find it?
