Strategy! Accounting! Finance! Oh my!

We are officially 3 days into Q2 and many of us are already behind. The second quarter marks the beginning of Strategy & Finance & Managing Customer Value. The amount of course work is increased significantly, the time commitment required for recruiting events heightens and by the way, there is noooo social life. This heavily impacts my ability to write about life outside the classroom! Thus I will digress a little from my plan as the quarter progresses... and discuss some class material.

Last week was exams, I am warning you all now, the week is chaos. But everyone is equally disadvantaged, everyone is juggling the same course load and managing to come out OK. Remember it is hard to get an A or A+, but it is also hard to fail (provided you keep up and stay on top of the work).

The weekend between exams and Q2 is a fools break. By this I mean, Friday at 12 noon until Sunday at 4 pm, you can chill out. Then you look at your course list and you realize you have 2 chapters and 2 cases due for day 1. Some people jump on this over the weekend, others are still playing catch up. By day 2, we are swimming in work, and Tipsy Tuesday is like a memory that you attended the first two weeks of school, and won't be going to until the last day of Q2 exams.

This Friday we have a GBC Event, the Semi Formal Masquerade Ball, which should promise to be a fantastic night, followed by a busy weekend doing all the work required of us. Somewhere in there we are also supposed to be on top of our career research/ prep and by the way get some sleep!

Obviously life is a little busy now, and I am off to do more of that work!
