Regression on my mind

So after 3 hours of talking about intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation, stereotyping, "expanding the conversation" and such, I finally get to face the real fire-breathing dragon i.e. probability and statistics. That's right folks, the moment of reckoning is finally here. I get to face my biggest fear. In the next 10 hours or so I have to unlock the mysteries of regression and also figure out what the probability of me doing well on this test is *given* that I am sitting here wasting time on updating this blog. I say it's zero but I wonder what our friend Baye would say.

So last night wasn't too good. Couldn't get myself to focus on "Managerial Effectiveness". Too many things on my mind right now and this so isn't the time for that! It's funny how all the shit piles up at the most inopportune moments. Anyway, so the plan for the day is to shut myself down from the outside world and nail this stats thingie. Yeah, we'll see how that goes.

I'm back

Greetings from the alternate universe also known as B-school. I have a million things that I should be doing right now but for some reason I decided to come and wander around blogland for a bit. I see that all the old people (the ones who're still updating their blogs) are having a blast. Here's MJ's unedited version...

Life's been crazy the last month or so. I have learnt to function on approximately 5 hrs of sleep every night. There's always so much stuff going on that I sometimes wake up a little disoriented in the morning trying to figure out what I need to be doing on that particular day. There are cases, club meetings, SIPs (special interest presentations) galore every day. Wednesday is going to be a crazy day with the consulting symposium which I am helping organize and 3 SIPs (BCG, Delloite and ZS Associates) planned for the same day!

I am also an admissions coordinator in charge of Super Saturdays and the first one starts this weekend so we've been having meetings trying to make sure we don't do screw up and end up burning down the building or something!

On the social front, there's always stuff going on. There's always a party to go to or a bbq to attend. We had the international festival last week which was a lot of fun! I got roped into taking part in the fashion show and the only saving grace in that was that I didn't trip over the "dhoti" (I was feeling particularly adventurous) I decided to wear on stage. We topped it off by heading to Raleigh for "garba" which totally rocked! So maybe I got a *little* aggravated and maybe I got a *little* pushy and maybe I got a *little* bossy as I tried to teach folks some of my moves but c'mon people, it ain't rocket science!!

We have a couple of big cases due this week followed by finals next week so I better get my sorry ass out of bed and start reading about 3M!
