MEM and weekends

Its 7 O clock on a nice sunday night, and here I am in the Duke library with another meeting looming ahead. God I really long for those lovely days when you had weekends for yourself. I mean I could do anything I wanted and not have to waste it on another meeting. This is the 5th meeting / workshop I have this weekend and it just doesnt end. God why am I so negative?????

Anyways to those who do not know me (which is a HUGE HUGE majority), I am Varun. I am doing my Masters in Engineering Management at Duke University. I have previously tried my hand at Dental, Engineering and some IT work. I am an Indian student (re-inforced by the many companies who rejected my application solely because I am an intl Indian student) and gave CAT 2007 (The worst MBA exa there is, nah, the WORST exam there is in the whole dammed universe) and screwed it up, so doing my MEM as a great Plan B.


I am a huge MBA-aspirant (probably down to parent pressure), and I keep on surfing B-school websites and see so many blogs written by MBA students, so I just thought of writting an MEM blog for prospective Duke MEM applicants. Just to give a totally unbiased peep into the MEM student world at Duke and also give some 'gyaan'. As the start of the blog suggests I am very busy (and also frustrated with the workload), but still hope to do this as much as I can.
