Chills, Thrills and official start of recruiting

Posted by lavzz on November 22, 2009

I know its been a while, but time is increasingly becoming a luxury here. Among the new stuff thats happened since the last time is the official kick off of the placement season for the summer. HBS holds recruiters at bay for the first 2 months of the MBA program which is great considering the amount of time that is invested in going for the recruiting receptions, presentations, dinners, coffee chats etc. I wonder how students from other schools manage it right from day 1. I am suddenly so happy to be at HBS.

Anyways, Among other news, boston is fast disintegrating into a cold, wet and boring city where it gets dark by 4 PM!!! Where I come from, this is a huge shock to me. Since afternoons are mainly sleep time for me and I go out with my section in the nights, I had totally missed this early darkening effect. Last week, I came out of a networking event from 3 to 4 PM and stepped out and was astonished to see it so dark. For a moment, I thought my watch had stopped working. One of my sectionmates who has lived all her life in Boston told me that it was going to be like this until Feb!!

This winter break, I am going to visit 2 of my good friends from undergrad. I am totally excited about it.
More later.

    Dark by 4pm in the fall/winter isn’t that bad. You get that in lots of cities/countries. I lived in Boston for numerous years and it is one of my favorite cities. Make the most of it…you’re at HBS!
