Well&lt;br /&gt;I have had the same thing done to me and all due to my own fault :(.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time to prioritize and be a man! (Russell Peters style :) ).&lt;br /&gt;On the bright side, I am getting slightly better at prioritizing and &lt;br /&gt;getting things done. As my MBA year draws to a close (almost), the usual&lt;br /&gt;anxiousness of finding a good job is creeping in :(. I have lots of debts&lt;br /&gt;to pay off when I graduate and it is imperative for me that I get a &lt;br /&gt;good high paying job (preferably abroad) to pay out my debts.Fingers crossed,&lt;br /&gt;I will be applying to lots of places and hopefully will land a job abroad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now, my Corporate Finance exam takes my full attention.&lt;br /&gt;Will update this blog on the 13th February.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DC.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7008073-2465126689742620956?l=darthcoder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://darthcoder.blogspot.com/feeds/2465126689742620956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7008073&amp;postID=2465126689742620956' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7008073/posts/default/2465126689742620956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7008073/posts/default/2465126689742620956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://darthcoder.blogspot.com/2010/02/time-to-stand-up-and-be-counted.html' title='Get Up, Get Off'/><author><name>darthcoder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12633121553041480559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/229/6655/320/29-06-05_0436.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008073.post-4672293373118236612</id><published>2010-01-28T04:34:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2010-01-28T04:44:32.262+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MBA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Happy New Year :)'/><title type='text'>Happy New Year 2010 :D</title><content type='html'>Wish Everyone a very Happy New Year 2010 :D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I am a month too late in wishing but knowing me and my time&lt;br /&gt;management skills I hope that you (if anyone reads this that is) will&lt;br /&gt;not complain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish to become more proactive and finally move my lazy ass to get to&lt;br /&gt;clean my room and stuff like that.

So I wanted to do an MBA cos my&lt;br /&gt;job sucked hard! and cos I wanted to grow and wanted to see the world&lt;br /&gt;and interact with people from all around the world, people who are much&lt;br /&gt;smarter than me and who would inspire me to do much better than what I&lt;br /&gt;currently do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am glad that I chose Vlerick (Of course I'll be even more glad that I&lt;br /&gt;chose vlerick if my MBA gets me  a job  which gets me shitloads of money)&lt;br /&gt;rather than another Indian B-School because there I would be stuck with&lt;br /&gt;another 600 wannabes like me in the same batch. 90% of them IT Engineers&lt;br /&gt;bored of their jobs and looking to "cash" in on their MBA investment and&lt;br /&gt;to recoup it ASAP (Hell, I am looking to do the same but ain't I different? :D ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come to think of it, the academic year so far has been great (It has only been&lt;br /&gt;like 4 weeks but I am a good cook already!). Jokes apart, I feel that I have&lt;br /&gt;changed already from what I was earlier (apart from being as lazy as before).&lt;br /&gt;I can cook up a good meal, go grocery shopping by myself, get things done&lt;br /&gt;and stuff,interact with people from different nationalities etc. For others&lt;br /&gt;these might be small things but for me each of the tasks mentioned above&lt;br /&gt;is like a big step towards being independent (I have almost NEVER done&lt;br /&gt;any grocery shopping in India, being the spoilt single child that I am :) ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to get rid of the videogames bug though and need to work on my&lt;br /&gt;Time Management (Done with only 1 chapter of accounting till now whereas&lt;br /&gt;people have completed the whole book :-O).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, I must say that atleast till now I think I have made the&lt;br /&gt;right choice as far as the B School selection goes. I hope to develop the&lt;br /&gt;skills required to get my dream job through the duration of the course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time for some Indian food I guess, it is 11PM Already :O.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till next time, May the force be with you :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Darthcoder.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7008073-4478666657902667379?l=darthcoder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://darthcoder.blogspot.com/feeds/4478666657902667379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7008073&amp;postID=4478666657902667379' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7008073/posts/default/4478666657902667379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7008073/posts/default/4478666657902667379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://darthcoder.blogspot.com/2009/09/back-for-good.html' title='Back for good :)'/><author><name>darthcoder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12633121553041480559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/229/6655/320/29-06-05_0436.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008073.post-7323002094188595537</id><published>2007-12-19T02:08:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2007-12-19T02:12:49.280+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Baaaaaaaaaaack!!</title><content type='html'>Whew!!
