Well apologies that I have been remiss in posting on my blog this semester. It's hard to believe that yet another semester has just flown by and we have less than two weeks to go before Christmas break and IAP. In a couple of weeks I'll be off home to NZ for a week before heading to Europe and starting the Spring term at London Business School where I'll be on exchange for IAP and the first half of next semester. I'll be back though for the second half of my last semester as well as the spring break trip and graduation.
Second year has been great - it's funny not having the 2008s around but it's been really fun getting to know the 2010s. I learnt my lesson from last semester and slowed down a bit, focusing my attention on a few key projects and clubs and also spending more time with friends I've made over the last year - getting to know them better and talking about things other than school!
So, favourite classes this semester? One definitely has to be designing the X Prize for Energy, I also really like the course I'm doing at the Harvard Kennedy School just up the road. It's called Analytical Frameworks for Policy and changes your view of the world through behavioural decision making and game theory concepts among others.
I've also narrowed my club focus spending the majority of my time and efforts on SEID (Sloan Entrepreneurs for International Development) - we grew the club this year from 5 projects last year to 18 this year! We're also deepening our relationships across campus and have a great lot of VPs to take on the club leadership next year. I also attended the Net Impact conference at Wharton last month and was reinspired with the breadth of opportunities and the innovation and creativity of people wanting to change the world.
Lots of decisions to make this semester - so much to do, places to travel and the MBA experience clock is running. Where to go for Spring break? (Brazil I think) to BVI or not to BVI? (most probably) and not to mention courses and career as well! Happy December!
