State of minor depression

You can sort of tell I'm coming down off my adrenaline-high called the first term at London Business School by the fact that I'm using the same title for a blogpost as one that I used some time back... no creativity left at this point in time. [warning: shameless self pitying coming up, if you don't care for that, don't read any further]. I always seem to have this post-adrenaline-rush blues. Even when I was still a consultant (which seems like a million years ago now, but in reality it's only 6 months ago) I used to get this coming-down-off-a-cloud feeling after we hit a major deadline. With 3 months of non-stop running around, I feel empty without having to run around, going to lectures, handing in assignments and studying for exams. Isn't that typical? First I whine non-stop about being so busy, no I whine about not being busy ;-) I guess I'm not easily satisfied.

I've got two more days in London, and I'm planning to make the most of them. I'm going to see the Diane Arbus exhibition at the Victoria and Albert, and I want to make another trip to the Rubens exhibition at the National Gallery. And of course, my Christmas shopping needs doing. And a couple of emails desperately need replying (one of them is a long overdue email to the lovely Rusgirl).

One of the things that most MBA students at London Business School will do over the Xmas break I reckon is planning ahead for the recruiting season. The hunt is opened on the first day we get back from our Xmas break, on January 9th with a presentation about the Milkround recruitment process (UK name for companies coming onto campus), and the next day the big banks, consultancies and some of the big industry players will start to come onto campus. Even though I don't plan to do a lot of Milkround recruiting, I still need to get my a** in gear to get an internship.
