It's almost 10 p.m. and I am still on campus. I am holed up in a study room with three of my classmates working on our presentation for a case competition. Tomorrow afternoon I have a midterm for which I have yet to study. In the words of the Beastie Boys, there will be "no sleep til Brooklyn!" I don't even know what that means (no one knows what it means but it's provocative...it gets the people going!), but I know I won't be seeing my queen size bed anytime soon.
This week has been a killer. I'm smack in the middle of midterms, and am once again way over committed. Oh, wait!! I just found someone to replace me in an admissions info session I was supposed to do yesterday. Yay! That's 1 hour of my day I get to reallocate. I know that I sound whiny, but I'm not necessarily complaining (well I am complaining about midterms, but I haven't figured out how to get them banned yet). I wanted to do this case competition and thus far I'm enjoying the work. Actually, I'm more so enjoying working with my teammates. I think we've come up with a really good solution. We all come from different professional backgrounds and it's pretty cool to see that diversity in action. I was able to contribute a pretty solid retail plan. Our finance guy is figuring out the NPV of our investment. The hedge fund lady is making sure all of the numbers are tight and our engineer is all over the nuances and numbers behind the market research. I'm looking forward to presenting all of our findings this weekend. Even more than that I'm looking forward to getting some sleep afterward.
