What's up, y'all. Surprisingly, I ended up with some free time before my 3pm class because I came to the GSB 2 hours early for a scheduled mock interview with a first-year student through our Career Mgmt Center. When i got here, i found out that they didn't even need me, but hadn't gotten as much as an email to let me know not to come in. The funniest part is I was asked to participate in these joints (after I'd informed the organizer that I was already doing mocks through our Consulting club) because they needed as many MBA2's as possible...I guess that'll be the last official mock interview that I sign up for.
Anyways, while I'm killing time here in the library, i might as well tell y'all about the case interview prep session i did on Saturday. In preparation for the session, i spent a couple of hours doing a braindump into Powerpoint of all the things I wish I'd known going into the consulting internship process last year. I was really worried going into that presentation because I thought the information I was covering would be too elementary for the MBA1's who would be in attendance. I know that my case game is pretty good now, but, at this time last year, I was horrible and I thought the kids at the session would all be bored with the stuff I was giving them. Judging from their interest and questions, I'd say that I was dead wrong about that. The 14 or 15 folks there were engaged the entire time and, although many of them had already been practicing the cases thoroughly, they still found the information useful. In the words of Hannibal from "The A-Team", "I love it when a plan comes together." I was dead tired when i was doing the session and I probably should have been at home studying, but it felt good to be able to help those first years (and the other ones who received my materials over email) with their case prepping. Hopefully, they won't have as much trouble as I did last year when i was King of the Second Round Knockout.
Aight y'all, time for class...

By the way, did y'all see the highlights from Kobe's game last night?!?!?!? 81 points!?!?!?!?! I've been hating on Kobe's ball-hoggin' self for his entire career, but I can't argue with results. He's certainly a ball hog, but I'll be damned if that kid isn't The Truth in the NBA now. Good lawd!
