group formation dynamics draw to a close...

This is an interesting phase of life at bschool... spam mails floating around asking for groups... people cold calling asking to be part of groups... "have you found a group?"... "Mind joining me in forming a study group for this course?"... we have two exms only this time around... the other two were just assignments and take home... the existing study groups and sections will get automatically disbanded and new sections and groups will take over... those groups that have managed to work together very well, are probably sticking together as much as possible... those that did not manage to work out all that well are going thru the motions of getting their last assignments done before taking leave... when it comes to new groups, its your chance to get to know new faces and personalities... courses become more dispersed with some taking only 3 courses and some 5... all of a sudden, life has changed...

the citibank scholarships were announced today... 2 scholarships, $12500 each... the essays and resumes have to be done over the term break after the exams on monday... dont know if I will make it, given my lack of interest and background in finance... fingers crossed...
