Into the second term now...
I am so so tempted to start writing about the IIMA-IIMB sports meet thats happening on campus but I will do that a couple of days later....Coz I need to get hold of what has happened so far in the 2nd term !
After the 5 day break, everyone was back with only 1 feeling : The break was too too short. But somehow people weren't complaining so much about leaving home and coming back to WIMWI....That speaks of our changed attitude now. We were kinda enthu about getting back to campus....i think we have already got so used to the life here that it felt like leaving one home and coming back to another.
The 2nd term is said to be a lot more chiller than the first. I can see 2 reasons for that. One coz the workload is indeed less compared to first term; the subjects are not that taxing (barring a few including MANAC which i guess will keep running after me till i die ); the emphasis is more on group work now. So we have many more regular group meets coz there are lotsa presentations that we hv to make in order to prepare for the next class. But the actual mugging is certainly a bit less than the first term, not much though.And the second reason is pretty straight forward. We have already seen and faced the worst in the first term. And hence now we are mentally and physically prepared for anything..Its tough now for anything to psyche us out . Men of steel we have become !!
Plus the second term has lotsa extra currics happening ! The IIMA-IIMB sports meet is currently going on....we then have our marketing fair "Insight"....we have our B-School Summit "Confluence"...and the list goes on.
It has so far been a super duper hectic term for me...Not so much coz of the mugging, but coz of the plethora of things I have been doing. There are the group meets that we have almost every day which r good fun coz my grp is really cool . Plus I was busy giving interviews for a couple of clubs of WIMWI and managed to get selected in one of them too. Plus the practice for the sports meet. I got selected in the Badminton and Cricket teams. We would go for badminton practice every night 9 to 11....Come back....Mug for the next day and hence sleep by 2-3.....And again get up at 5.30 to go for Cricket practice to a nearby ground that we had booked. I used to have a great stamina but the inactivity in the first term had made me rusty and hence the toll on the body was huge.....It got pretty tought to manage all the mugging, sports, clubs etc at the same time but I was quite enthu abt it as finally I got play sports at WIMWI...something abt which I am so passionate....And hence I didn't mind the extra load .
Now that the sports meet gets over tomorrow morning, things look to be getting better in terms of paucity of time. But its great fun....The more I see the non-academic side of WIMWI, the more excited I get.
As far as the quizzes go, we have had one MANAC quiz and a couple of In-Class quizzes. More are sure to follow coming week but even the total quizzes are supposed to be less this term.
And ya, the Garba fever has gripped Ahmedabad and how could it leave WIMWI...So everyday some group of students or the other go to either NID or CEPT or few other places where Garba is famous and let their hair down.
IIMA played host to IIMB for a 3 day sports meet called Sangharsh 2006, that involved 17 sports out of which 11 were worth of points and remaining just for fun.
This was certainly the next most exciting event so far at my stay here after the T-Nites. What happened during these 3 days ? Who got the trophy ? Was there attitude & aggression ? Do the IIM guys know how to be kings in sports apart from academics ?
Coming up....Sangharsh 2006 !!!
