Classes II

today at class, i found myself sitting silently while my groupmates were animatedly discussing the merits of our "essentials of effective management" case study. granted that i do think that "management" is something that is soft and that anyone of us could wing his way by, i was in a situation where the group case studies where what has to be done.

and i did not rise to the occasion. personal realization: i am an introvert.

======================

the ease of the preparatory classes was very misleading. the classes were way intense. for example, in our economics classes, there were a couple with MS in economics and i suspect, there was a PhD also. and of course, as is always pointed out, economics in University of Chicago is something else - what with 9 of the last 11 nobel prize winners (or something like that) coming from the school.

as one of my classmates drunkenly said after a couple of beers, "i am not as smart as you guys here". and i replied, "yes, that is exactly how i feel".
