Term 2 musings

Happy father’s day to all the fathers out there! I don’t personally subscribe to the idea of father’s day or mother’s day, but this father’s day happens to be my first as a Dad, and so it’s a bit special!

Lots of happenings on campus in the past 2 weeks – elections for club presidents, section representatives, subsequent selections for club posts, inter-section sports competitions, CAS information session, Dean’s ‘Take Charge’ address, corporate speakers sessions/interactive sessions, blood donation camp, and of course parties!

We had a huge ‘Bring down the class average’ party on Friday, or so I am told, but I missed it after having gone to sleep by 11 PM since I had donated blood that evening and was too tired to stay up. To compensate for my absence, I will attend the ‘Bring up the class average’ parties in our LRC this week! Mid-terms are round the corner, so its time to hit the books again with a vengeance.

In other relevant news, I am the Section A representative for Academic Affairs. My study group, as a result has an Academic representative as well as the Student Life Council Director, Abhishek ‘Party’ Shah. How much more diverse can a study group get?

Academic Representatives need to interface closely with the Academic Affairs Council to deal with anything related to our studies, and address all grievances effectively. I’ve always been a good student, and I think I will be able to do justice to this role that I’ve been elected to.

Subjects in term 2 are interesting – Competitive Strategy, Marketing Decision Making, Global Economics and Decision Models and Optimization. Most of these subjects are inter-related and this makes learning them that much more interesting. Its time for me to head back to my huge pile of assignments, and so I bid you goodbye until next time!
