Oh! so sorry for not writing about the Interview with the manager for such a long time. Now I lost interest. But just so you know, it was one of the best things I did so far in the course. :)
Period 1 over. Surely not with flying colours. But Period 1 over.:). The day it was over (Sunday October 4, 2008) I felt so aimless and directionless. I had expended all my energy in the last week and had nothing left in me. I was walking around like a zombie. So I walked - like a zombie- to the nearest bar and had a couple of beers with Bill, Harvey and Christian, came back home, cooked mixed vegetable, ate and slept. Man! What a good night’s sleep I had!
Next day, next period. Back to books and reading articles. This period is interesting. Macro Economics is one of the subjects. Finally I start to understand a bit about what is going on this economy - the AIG bail out, the Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy, Fannie Mae nationalizing etc. It all makes a some sense now. I am really upbeat about it. I am glad this recession is happening now (is there something wrong with me?! ) and I get to learn the subject with an example of current affairs. How cool is that?!
The other subject is the Ethics and Governance. The WorldCom and Enron debacle and new rules makes some sense now. I had not an iota of idea what was happening in 2005. I was totally insulated. We have to do a presentation on Ethical (or unethical) behaviour by a corporation (or a government.) I am all set to pin the Indian government for the Bhopal Gas Tragedy.
I am so annoyed with myself for missing the deadline for the first case competition. The deadline for the application was 9am and I read it as 9pm. Stupid. Stupid!
Period 1 results will be out this week. I am freaking out. 28 years old and I still cant get over the feeling of nervousness before the results!
And BW rankings are going to come out next week. Considering last year's achievements, I hope HEC ranks higher than last year. Bill tells me that HEC is ranked in tier 1 of Google's colleges to recruit from. That is so amazing! However, that is not confirmed news because I could not find relavent information on the internet. So, I believe the news but you have your reasons to be suspicious.
If anyone out there reading this blog and planning to apply to HEC, do feel free to write to me. My mail id: avinash.s.rao@gmail.com

Hi! I came across this blog while searching info on Montreal. I'm attending HEC next semester on an exchange programme and I was wondering if you'll mind me asking some questions about life on the city?
Sure you may. My id is avinash.s.rao@gmail.com
