Every year, in the spirit of building those (covalent) bonds, Kellogg and the GSB meet in a contest of epic proportions. Okay, so there were about 150 of us to their 40, but still. There were various sporting events as well as the necessary drinking games. I had no idea what to expect and was starting to think of the Olympics as a joke. But I’m here to tell you folks, they really showed out and they took it very seriously. At least some of them did. Most people were content to suck up beer and run around gloriously unencumbered by the fact that finals are quickly approaching and many of us are unemployed.
No matter. Things are a little tumultuous around here. People are starting to panic and all kinds of personalities are jumping out. People who seemed completely rational but seven months ago, have totally lost it. The timid are going off in humongous rants and you never know when they will strike. I’m not sure if it is the weather, 75 one day and 50 the next, or the water. Perhaps we have reached the “terminal point of worry” where you just can’t do it anymore and you sink into either apathy or disdain.
I will attest to the fact that it has been a rough road and it is hard to fathom that we are nearly halfway done. We don’t necessarily feel edumacated. Perhaps it comes when you leave Hyde Park and are faced with the stark reality of everyday life. Can you imagine a world where no one cares what your GMAT score is, or has no idea which investment banks are rated highest and could care less? I know, it’s hard to believe, but it does exist. At least I hope so…
