2 down, 6 more to go!

Today I attended the last lectures of 2 electives - IT Strategy & International Management. This week & the next are predictably the most hectic phases of this term. I have 3 lectures tomorrow (sunday). Currently I'm working on the SDM midterm quiz (take-home).
While at face value it seems that take-home exams are a safe bet the reality is that they are a lot more time consuming & difficult in terms of complexity. I guess that's the faculty's way of ensuring that he / she normalizes any benefit that you derive from a take-home quiz.
I'm still not feeling nostalgic about the fact that these are my last few days @ XLRI. Maybe, next week I'll be in a more contemplative mood. One thing is for sure, for experienced folks like us a 1 year MBA is always a very safe bet. The reason is that by the time you reach the 9th/10th month the novelty starts wearing down. This is however not the case with freshers in the 2 year MBA. For them its fun, laughter & joy (with a sprinkling of studies as well) and the halo effect tends to stay for quite a while. This is my perception & anyone else has a right to disagree.
