So I've made the shaky transition from B-school girlfriend and landed in a more permanent place as B-school wife. Yes, to all B-shool girlfriends out there, it IS possible to survive the required late night parties, endless networking sessions, cut-throat recuitment rounds, intensive internships - across the miles AND plan a wedding! (Praise God! And thank your girlfriends for the therapy sessions!)
Along the way, you pick up information you're not sure what to do with. I now know what a carry trade is, how CDOs work and the names of 2 dozen Hedge Funds and Private Equity groups (that may soon cease to exist) - and of course the remaining I-banks and their remaining stock prices.
I guess it's a great way to get acquainted with a world that I had little interest in. A year ago, my keywords were sustainability, advocacy, development, communications plans, presentations, e-blasts, timelines, 157gsm/4-C/gloss lami and web 2.0.
Oh well, I suppose that's all part of life-long learning (ha! I keep thinking of the WDA campaigns) but this is the kind that the School of Life teaches you; where you dont really have a choice in picking the modules you want. Yup, another class I'm taking up, Cooking 101 (elementary). Hopefully, i'll chalk up enough dishes to graduate to more advance levels *tries to look optimistic*
Since there's a university so near me, its great that there are some things you can choose to learn - East Asian Art History is in 1 hrs time *yay*. Today we're still on Song ceremics and celadon.
