A thought just occurred to me
[just to clarify, thoughts do occur to me quite often, in fact, more often than I want them to, but this thought I decided to act on and write about]
... People reading this who are not at London Business School are getting a very one-sided view of school by virtue of me being the only author writing this blog. Yes, I know there's other sources of information on the MBA experience out there (see the list of blogs I read on the right for instance) and by all means, use them, but I feel I maybe should be a bit more balanced. There's a whole host of activities going on on campus that I'm not blogging about because they fall outside my personal fields of interest and since this blog is shamefully and egotistically about me and my experience I'm not talking about them. But readers, there is a whole flurry of i-banking and consulting activities. Not a day goes by with 'a-day-in-a-life' talks, introductions to the world of i-banking, crack-a-case sessions and whatnot. But because I'm trying (up to now quite succesfully) to stay out of the fray of i-banking and mainstream consulting, I'm not blogging. But that doesn't mean it isn't there. But I said that already. You'll have to excuse my blogging today, tomorrow's the first mid-term and our whole year including me is going slightly nuts since it's our first mid-term. As I type, my housemate is sitting in our bathroom on the edge of the tub to study.
I've asked my housemates to be guest-writers for this blog at some point in the future, hopefully they'll add the badly needed variety!
Some links I've found entertaining/interesting/good diversion from studying Managerial Economics:
* Experiments in anonymous kindness
* A list of remedies against procrastination
* "Art expands. Design connects', an article by Michael Cronan on the Apple website.

Ha, sounds like you think like me. And I don't know exactly how that is, or whether it's good or bad, but reading your writing reminds me of something I would write. I guess the best way to put it is that we write what we think, even if it's rather random.
Anyway, the same thought occurred to me - and that's why we have two people writing on ours. However, you have several LBS people writing in other blogs, while on ours, it's just us. No other people that we know of blog from the Jones School at Rice. We're a fairly highly-ranked school, but I guess people feel they're too busy or just don't like to blog.
Anyway, hope you're having a good time studying economics. We're done with our econ for this semester, and the only econ that I'll be touching for a while is the book Freakonomics, which I just bought. It's pretty interesting, although I don't believe the guy to be a true economist but rather a mathematician.
Stop by sometime if you want - our blog is new, but we are trying hard to keep it up anyway!

Suzy, that's absolutely OK :)
Noone will force you to write about things you don't do :))) And in fact, we're reading it because we like what you are writing.
