Internship...
Wow! It has been almost two months since I last posted something. Seems I am having a hard time maintaining a blog-a-month status. This economy has really taken a toll in all aspects of my life. I was busy with exams, but more so with the internship search. Boy! I completed my undergrad in 2002 (just after dot-com bubble) but luckily that wasn’t as bad as it is right now. Not a single day passes by without charts/graphs pointing south in WSJ. Guess the economists have even stopped looking at the data before plotting the chart… the only question they discuss is perhaps how much slope should the graph have.

Anyway, the worst blow came about when I heard that the company of my choice finally decided to forgo the internship this year after me having in their final round. Ironically, the fact that the situation is grim all across the board somehow makes me forget the pain. I guess, like most of my colleagues I am getting used to accepting the situation.

By the way, I got some good grades (As) in the last mod. So much so that I scored the highest of all the students in one of the courses! If only grades mattered in b-school to get a job :(
