Tomorrow shall be the last day at ISB…in terms of classes. What started almost 11 months back…shall be reaching a sweet finale…and trust me…it’s a lovely feeling to have been a witness to these 11 months…!

A look back…

Then:
Class starts at 2.30pm. 90% of the class is on their seats at 2.15pm…the professor comes at 2.25!!
Now:
Class starts at 2.30pm…9% of the class in on their seats at 2.30pm…the professor comes at 2.29…!

Then:
Assignment due Monday 8.30am. Work starts on Friday…with an hour of discussion. Followed by a group discussion on Saturday for 2 hours or so…and then writing up the report…together…for the next 5 hours. Turn it insunday 10pm
Now:
Assignment due Monday 8.30am. emails goes out on Saturday. No response…! Reminder email Sunday afternoon. No response. Sunday 5pm…email goes out distributing the questions within the group members. 1 guy incharge of collation. Monday 4am he gets all the questions. Copies them onto a final doc…prints…turns it in…Monday 5am…!

Then:

Now:
Case to be discussed for the Wednesday class. Wednesday afternoon…finish lunch by 1.30…chat till 2pm…start reading the case…finish the 1st page by 2.30…enter class…follow the discussion for 15 minutes…raise your hand… “I wished to state the same fact…you see…Gillette is a shaving products brand…and blah blah blah…”…go home victorious

Then:
“What was that guy’s name…what was that guy’s name…shit…how could I forget…what was that guy’s name…”
Now:
“what was that guy’s pre-ISB salary…what did he get now…shit…how could I forget…what is he getting now…”

Then:
Get up at 8…go the gym…then classes…read up in the evening…hv dinner…read up again…sleep at 12…
Now:
Sleep at 8…wake up at 10…class…come back and sleep…class…come back and sleep…gym…dinner…movie…chatting…surfing…reading…sleep at 4…wake up by phonecall…talk…surf…porn…sleep at 8

    I find myself at loss of words after reading your posts some times and so many other ISBians too.The atmosphere must be so emotionally charged,I can only imagine.So much I feel like saying, but I know there is no point.I just hope all of you can make the most of the next week, savour every moment and I have no idea why I am getting so emotional.*wondering*
