Post about a new post and the last 2 weeks

Right then. Its maniacally busy!

I got elected as the Secretary of the Student Advisory Board. Yay! Since the other 2 who were in the running dropped out before the elections began, it wasnt really that hard :) However, the interesting bit was that this is essentially a Vice President's equivalent role and for the President's role we had close to 10 candidates. Now, given that there turned out to be just 1 candidate for the VP's role intrigued me a lot. What would you have done? Run the race for a higher spot that gave you little chance of winning or a not so high spot that increased your chances? In both cases you could contribute to the success of the organisation...Well, anyhow, I ended up in a rather bloodless battle that I won ;)

Other than that its been a crazy couple of weeks. We've had some really interesting sessions on subjects like Strategy and Marketing. Subjects that are often perceived to be a bit wooly. And I must commend the professors for making the study really practical and not too academic. Other than that, I have begun to sweat when I hear Accounting and Managerial Economics. I have close to no idea what we are doing in the latter. Partly also because I had to miss one half of this week's class to attend another event and that made things much worse. We've also got a couple of assignments and have begun work there already. So the weekend is going to be about catching up on stuff and making a short trip to London to meet a friend. And there is Diwali next week, I hear our Events guys are planning something really interesting. Looking forward to that! Busy days ahead! :)
