Gentle nudge

A gentle nudge (or actually not so gentle and subtle) by KV to update my blog, so here I go.
Somehow I had this idea that September would be spent gently being eased into life as an MBA student, and I couldn't be more wrong! The first week was Orientation and that was reasonably hectic-free, but last week and especially this week are gearing up to be quite busy :-)
Here's how I spent my day today:

06.58 Alarm clock goes off and I try to wake up enough to be able to grasp what the newsman will tell me in two minutes;
07.30 A quick shower and breakfast later I'm at my desk reading the cases we'll be discussing today; the plan was to do this yesterday evening but I didn't get round to it;
08.45 Walk over to school with my housemate who's in my stream to start class at 9 am;
12.00 Business Ethics is over and I thought it was really interesting;
12.15 After a quick check of email and Portal (London Business School intranet) and it's off to the Entrepreneurs Club presentation. They tell us what they do, what events they organise and en passant try and recruit people for the club's executive positions;
14.00 After lunch with a classmate it's back in the lecture theatre, this time for Understanding General Management, again discussing a case; interesting stuff, but the lecture theatre is too hot and everyone's drowsy;
17.00 A quick call to my parents to see how they're doing, then another to my brother, and then it's off to the Library
19.00 After several futile attempts at starting my Stats homework for tomorrow (yes, that's right: tomorrow is Business Statistics...... on my birthday!!!!! Ugh) which were thwarted by the need to catch up with my email (have been negligent on that front), arrange a career coaching session and read which new clubs have been started, I decide to give in to KV's gentle pressure and update the blog.
What the rest of the day will bring? I will at some point have to do some stuff for Stats (ok, not just some stuff, I reckon it'll take me about an hour or two to do it), and catch up with my housemates. And sleep.

PS Great respect goes out to Al, who's walking around with one leg in a cast, but still managed to climb the climbing wall last week at Away Day.... way to go Al! You rock!

PS 2 (sorry for the sloppy editing...) Want a little creative nudge? Have a look at the Imagination Prompt Generator.

PS 3 One of the tactics when procrastinating my Stats homework was to sign up for the upcoming Women In Business conference, for a program, check out this website.

PS 4 Businessweek has opened up a space for MBA bloggers, check this out.
