The rest of my life starts now, and am I excited or what!!!

Life, here at ISB, is going on as usual. We are almost nearing the end of term 1. After the Statistics class today, I realised we had just one more Stats class, and that made me kinda sad. I am so enjoying it and I look forward to it so eagerly.
I started my week by getting late for the very first class on a Monday morning :) I got up at 8 for a 8.15 class, was late by 10 minutes. The economics class is going good too. We are doing game theory. I did read up a bit on it and it is quite interesting. But I have yet to read more on it and really understand it. Tomorrow is the marketing class and I am yet to read the case study. Prof. Piyush Kumar is yet another amazing professor, he has some great insights. And his analysis of the Virgin Mobile case in the last class was amazing.
There have been few soap-boxes, where people who are running for various student body posts put forth their views and vision, which is followed by a Q & A session. I haven’t really been impressed by any of them. Most of it sound like empty talk, with hardly any concrete ground. Maybe I am overly skeptical, maybe these people do make a difference. I guess I will find out during the course of the year.
One more thing I have noticed is that some people are so over opinionated. They have to put forth their opinions, whether it is relevant or not. But, at times, when it really matters, they don’t. I mean, it is easy to reply on a mail which is condemning something / someone and further condemn the same thing / person. But when it comes to a particular individual in a group who might be disturbing smooth working of the group, people generally take the easy way out of just letting be. Maybe, again, just my opinion and maybe I would be proved wrong. Or maybe, I have a different way of acting/ reacting. To each his own. At the end of one year, I am sure I will come out as a much tolerant person. That’s one good thing about working on group projects. Speaking of which, we have another one due this Friday and one more (last for the term) due Monday.

Here is a link of a talk by George Soros on Credit Crisis of 2008, given at LSE.

I was reading a blog sometime back, where the blogger said something about the rest of her life beginning right now. Makes so much sense. The rest of my life starts now, and am I excited or what!!!
