First term is over

Its about a month when I last updated this blog. That time I was busy preparing for my exams of the first term. Well the exams finished, holidays came and have even finished. I cannot believe the pace of the time in MBA; even when I don’t have classes, even when there are no strict schedules and there are holidays- just holidays, the time flies like anything. We had a good break of about 2 weeks which were spent in lazing around, resting and doing all what I missed doing in the last 3 months of MBA.

Though time was spent in renewing the lost contacts and increasing networking, maintaining profiles on LinkedIn and preparing CVs, yet majority of the break was just devoted to rejuvenate self and prepare the body and the mind for the next term. As it appears, the second term seems to be more dreadful than the first one: more subjects than the first term, more assignments and reports and to top them- job panic. I have seen job panic among my colleagues and friends, who have started panicking on getting rejections from the finance companies or on hearing the news of selections of some of the friends and peers in Cranfield or other B-schools.

Well I believe its just second term and there are full 8 months left for the MBA to get complete and I don’t see any reason to get panic. Of course one should strive and make efforts for internships and jobs but panic is not what is rationale at least at this stage. There is still a hell lot of time.

Tomorrow its going to be the first day of the new term and all the subjects are totally different from what we have learnt in the first term. However, this time the anxiety levels are less than during the first term as we are now accustomed to Cranfield culture. What’s more interesting is the fact that this term has more case studies than the first term, and case studies always make learning better and entertaining.
