Dear Best Friend in India who I haven't called since I got to Toronto,
You absolutely have no clue how much has been going on here at school. I know I havn't called you since I got here, but trust me, you are right up there on the list of people I keep thinking I should call "next sunday morning". Right after gf and before dad. It probably is more than a little annoying when I scrap you every now and then(yes, I scrap, I do NOT write on your wall) and each of those scraps has the word "busy" in it. But its all really true! And everyone says this is true about the first sem at each and every b-school. It hits you like a speeding train. I personally have been feeling like I have been hit by a tonne of bricks, heavy shapeless objectified laziness being my thing more than fast moving dynamism and all that.
To start with I am usually always clueless in the classroom. I mean, I did way cooler stuff with excel than create balance sheets, and 'security' to me brings up images of hunky rugged-but-clean-shaven beautiful men in beautiful dark blue uniforms. Something thats had nothing to do with finance. And then there's this whole thing with recruiting and learning to "tell your story" and all that. And then they bring on the midterms. AND they actually give out your results 2 days after each exam. I had just about successfully blocked out the experience and was kinda hoping I'd never have to know my grades. Like ever!
And like thats not enough I had my laptop breakdown on me 3 weeks ago. I had to spend about 2 months budget to get it repaired and walk around for 3 whole weeks wishing I could look something up now. You know how it is when someone cracks a joke about Meryll Lynch in class and you know that all the non-bankers are googling it up (the cool-dude finance types have this sick-feeling-in-the-bottom-of-my-gut look on their faces. and wait, the media/entertainment bunch is doing neither. they are snickering. those guys are really cool), and you wish you could too because in that one moment nothing is more precious to you than knowing what the hell is going on with Meryll Lynch? Or that one time when you see someone walk into class wearing red patent leather shoes and you want to find out where you could get the cheapest shiny red shoes? no? how about when you can't get the "umberella -ella -ella -ella" out of your head and want to download it, right now? That was tough.
Anyways, I have my laptop back now and I promise, promise, promise I will call you this sunday. I will try to make it at an easy time for you, but hey, I might just have that moment when I have to talk to you like right now and go for it, ok? Be prepared for a lot of ranting about the midterms gone by, and more about how its going to be even busier because recruitment has just about began full steam. Yep, the time is now!
