And here we are again
The holidays are over. No more 12-hours of sleep per day. Forget the Christmas presents and New Year's eve celebrations. Nice portuguese spas (I owe this one to my fantastic girlfriend... thanks!!), relaxing in jacuzzis, doing nothing, forgeting about b-school.... all belong to the past. Now is time to wake up again. Return to the chaos and hectic life of the past 3 months.
Xmas break did not start well though. I lost my flight to Porto because of a 30+ min delay on the ridiculous Stansted Express. I had to buy another flight ticket for the following day and man, was that expensive! The return to London was also not peaceful. The flight was delayed and instead of arriving home at 1am this sunday, I got there at 3am. That's Ryan Air... And I still had to write my Finance assignment to hand-it in before 10.30am on Monday!! I miss my holidays already...
Milkround is here. Lots of companies are making fancy presentations to lure this high-potential (eheh) crowd. Yesterday it started with Citigroup. I went there although I'm not interested in finance. I was just checking its corporate strategy division. Boring. Lunch was for free, though, and we got a free umbrella! :-) That's also a nice thing about the milkround: free food, free drinks, free goodies.
Today BCG is coming to town. Tomorrow will be McKinsey. Although all those big consulting and IB names are coming here, none has got me as anxious as the one who's coming next month: Google. Now that seems interesting!!
Tomorrow is the application deadline for Bain. I got my cover letter ready, as well as my CV. Let's see how it goes.
Classes have also started, of course. New core courses (Operations and Technology Management, Marketing and Decision & Risk Analysis) as well as an old one (Finance), now with a (ahem, I'm proud of this one) Portuguese professor, Joao Cocco. And he is great! According to the overall opinion (mine including) he is better than our previous italian professor. And he has a niiiice sense of humour :-)
Well, time to go back to my Marketing class.
