Zombied! Yes, that is what has happened to most of us here at IIMA at the end of the first month. The frequency of my posts must have conveyed a clear message to those who have happened to notice the timestamps on the posts that something is amiss. Amiss is an understatement, I say.
The barrage of assignments and quizzes have started to take a real toll now. Capacity to focus on fast moving distant objects is swiftly diminishing. From the orbit of Pluto that we at the back benches have positioned ourselves in, the happenings of the class have become akin to some fast moving distant object on which our hold is getting real slack.
Last weekend seemed a welcome relief. We were anticipating a quiz on management decisions and we got one on financial analysis. And guess how we performed in the quiz! The very next day had another surprise in the form of strategic cost management quiz. But, whatever happened, we were left with two quizzes less and that prompted us to venture into the outside world Friday evening. Yes, we actually managed to find time to enter civilization and watch a real movie in a real theater. Most of the time I was pinching myself in the theater. Dinner followed and we came back a happy bunch. We reached campus in the midnight hoping for a decent game of football and guess what we encountered. The syndicate room welcomed us with the rest of the classmates struggling with an assignment that had to submitted the very next day! We ended up sleeping at 4 AM in the morning barely finishing the assignment. Fridays, we soon understood, were meant for another world, another people.
