Snapshots from Hell - The Guilt of Evening MBA




Now, I realized that i should have gone for Full time MBA. Actually to do an evening MBA is too difficult and that too if its from IIMs. You always want to study more but you don't have enough time to study. As per our course brochure, we need to spent at least 100 hours in one credit course in order to understand and complete it. And till now its not even first term ends (only have 4 credits) but we have full 8 more terms to go .

This motivated(read demotivated) me to put a countdown timer on my iGoogle page that counting down for May 2011. whoa!!! when this course ends.

So the Actual guilt is , "There is so much to learn, too good professors, too competent experienced class mates, real life logical subjects, good environment, and I also want to learn and study more.....but not enough time in a day. Office eats up lots of time(don't blame me for saying office eats up the time.....as job only give me and my eating).

I want to implement all the learnings in to my job but its too early to implement.

The Changes after starting MBA:
1)Started enjoying reading Economic Times. (earlier its was plane reading)
2)Now I laugh loudly on almost each of Dilbert's daily strips. (Earlier I used to smile and sometimes even wander if the strip ends or something is missing).

My underestimation of this MBA

Just after 1.5 moths of classes we had our mid term and it just finishes last week. I think I underestimated this course, its actually started taking its toll on me. Its quite hectic and quite regularly hectic. Assignments, quizzes, projects and then mid term, do you think its too less for 1.5 months of classes. Also we did a whole lot of case studies specially in Management Accounting. I studied this much in one whole semester in my engineering :(

Now Midterms are over and again we have those cases, projects, assignments.......
