Thoughts of a Procrastinator

8.30 pm: Dinner over. What should I do now? I could go through my books... But hey, isn't it too early for that? But I do have to do that case for tomorrow. Or else I may just be thrown out. But hey 8.30 IS too early. Abhi to sirf shyaam hai...

9.15 pm: God! Is 45 minutes up already? And all I did was chit-chatted. High time I got cracking on that case. But wait... isn't that Gautam? I really needed to talk to him regarding that book I wanted. Anyway its been 2 days since I last talked to him...

10.45 pm: I can't believe I've been talking to him for one and a half hours! What a waste of time! But hey, I shouldn't be calling it that. It was fun talking to him. But am I forgetting something? Of course! Go meet that senior! Cases might be important but networking is why we are here. Aur yeh gyaan prapt aur bhi zaroori hai...

11.30 pm: What a line! He must be running atleast half an hour late. Thank God thats done. Now I should really get cracking on reading and analysing that case. And its 23 pages long too! But I am hungry from all the talking. Maybe I'll catch a bite to energise me...

12.15 am: That took longer than expected. But then there were too many people in the canteen. And it wasn't just that I got delayed talking. The food came late too! But now I am really full. I need a short walk to stimulate my muscles and help me digest my food. I promise it'll be a very short walk.

1.00 am: God! I frgot how beautiful the campus is! I know I took longer than planned but it was totally worth it! Now I am totally refreshed to go tackle that case.

1.30 am: Am I sleepy already? I can't believe it. Maybe if I watch that movie I downloaded yesterday... I am sure half an hour of that movie would be great for me.

4.00 am: Its 4!!! Completely lost track of time, the movie was that good. Though I admit it was tad too long. Oh shit! The case! I'll do it right now!!

4.10 am: zzzzzzzzzzz....

4.45 am: Did I just fall asleep? Oh yes! That too with the light on! What was I doing? Oh yes! The case! Oh there's ample time during breakfast tomorrow. I need my beauty sleep. Goodnight!!

Up for Adoption

Don't be surprised if the classifieds in the Sunday paper reads
Up for adoption. Only section A, C, D and E are eligible to apply.

I mean, I love my parents and all that and I really am not thinking about changing them. Its my section at B-School that I have a problem with. "Why?" you ask. Good question. No they are not mean to me. No they are not boring. No they don't eat human meat. And they definitely have no aversions towards Bengali's. In fact, they are actually funny. They make great friends. And they are cool company.

Then "Why? Oh! Why?" you ask.

Well, here goes... The reason is... That... They are BRILLIANT. No I'm not kidding you. They are too good for me. I mean sample this, it is a class of 70 odd people, give or take a few. We all gave our mid term papers, many of them common with other sections. And this is what statistic has to say.

Quant paper. Total marks 50. The section highest 50. Section average 40. The paper was common across all sections. Take the average across all sections, and the class average is 35. Wouldn't you call that unfair?

Managerial Economics Paper. Total marks 100. The section highest 97.5. Section average ~84. Standard deviation 8.something. The paper was common across 3 sections. Section average in another section with the same paper is 73.

Financial Accounting Paper. Total Marks 40. Section highest 28.5. Section Average 13 (I thought this will be comparable). Common across 2 sections. Section average in other section is much <13 class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">no one will choose me. But what the hell man. It'll still make me feel good to put up that ad this weekend. I am still up for adoption.
