Life as an MBA student can indeed be hectic. Classes, interviews, internship search, cover letters, résumés, you name it. There are more things to do than minutes in a day!
Most classes (core and elective curriculum) at Olin are offered in minis, which are seven-week periods. This means that final exams hit you before you know it! So if you don't keep up with class you are almost guaranteed a nasty surprise come final exam time. One huge plus of the mini system is that it allows students to take many more courses than they would otherwise under a traditional semester.
The first Spring mini will be over the first week in March. Right now I'm getting ready for my Cost Accounting final, working on a Valuation homework, preparing a case memo for Competitive Industry Analysis (semester-long course), researching companies for possible summer internships, and preparing for an internship interview next Tuesday.
The week after next is finals week and then... off to India during Spring Break as part of my Global Management Studies class. As you can tell, things are going at a 1,000 miles an hour, so I'll internalize that I'm going to India once I get there!
Next entry I'll talk more about the India trip! Until next time!
