Well at this point, I've kind of lost count of which week we're on here at business school. I do know that the wind is a tad bit cooler, a few tests and deliverables have been turned in, and thus it seems we're well under way here in Ithaca. It's actually quite crazy to think that we're halfway through the first quarter with fall break, literally right around the corner.
That's what's so interesting about business school is that fact that two or three weeks really feel like about a half a year. This isn't because time is passing slowly, on the contrary I believe...rather it's because the amount of experiences packed into a day are off the charts, especially when compared to that of real people out in the real world. You literally go to approximately four hours of class, probably present something in one of those classes, eat a couple times, converse with about 50 friends/colleagues, meet about 50 new ones, work out (hopefully), do homework, attend a corporate briefing, maybe even interview for a job, change back and forth from casual to formal attire, meet with a faculty member to discuss something vitally important regarding your future, set up more meetings, do something you wouldn't ordinarily do, have an emotional high AND an emotional low, and then start on more work or more socializing in the evening. Literally, this all fits in about 12 hours each day and mostly happens in one building, Sage Hall.
So with that in mind, one can start to understand how a couple of weeks in business school are equal to about six months in real people time. It's a funny little world we live in, but an exciting one at that.
