3 weeks into the b-school and u r told...u have exams, Mid terms. And the best part, this torture is bound to repeat every 3 weeks for 11 months.....what the hell.
subjects : business statistics, managerial economics, accounting and marketing.
first day first show: business statistics.....The seating arrangement, i was given a seat right behind the one of the HOTTEST girls in the batch. What the hell, i need to concentrate, when i wanted to be in her study group, they put her with all married guys and girls, and during exams they found this innovative way to say " here boy this B-School gives u what u want". HOW the hell do u expect me to concentrate, with 95% confidence i can say that only 5% of the times i could actually read the questions in one go...The stats guy set a WONDERFUL paper..no matter what score i get...but i loved it. The counter side of it, after 5 years of not having seen books or given exams, suddenly when i was forced to do so.
Midway through the exam, i didnt feel like reading the questions, and of course the other factors were there to divert my concentration.
Mangerial eco.....didnt read a single word, didnt do a single assignment (they were voluntary..i have never volunteered for such things), and neither did i take notes, books to exam (it was an open book exam)...and the tragedy. The classic question " Who wrote the article nature of the firm".....The twist, i had all the slides of this article except the one carrying the name of the author, i read each line twice, footnotes, those conditions apply start if i could find the name hidden somewhere....I COULD NOT....even better, this carried a 10% weightage..i couldn't help laughing at myself...
Accounting again open book, open notes...i took all of them, learnt from previous experience. And spread them all over the desk..only to realize that the 50% paper i knew i dont see them, and for the other even if i do..that does not help. "so here i was again."
Marketing: my my.....i thought marketing was all fundas and i made sure all those i meet i convince them of this...and i did. If it is fundas " a drunk guy can convince you faster and better than a sales guy" so we will give gyaan right there...whisky helps..so we took its services, only to realize...the paper has 90% numerical calculations and whisky is making it difficult to understand the numbers.......somehow managed to finish all and have a big hearty laugh at the way we screwed up this so called "MID TERM"...folks by the time i graduate i make sure..that these aren't any different from engineering exams..wish me luck
