The WAC..CING and the socials-28&29th 2006

It was our first date with WAC or 'Written Analysis of a Case' as we MBAs put it.No there is nothing romantic and good about a WAC.For a MBA student,its the most daunting thing in a MBA coursework,it has a bad reputation of stealing people's sleep...putting them thru nervous wreck..and they have very strict unmissable deadlines.Our WAC was about a nation's economy.We were in groups working on it.The groups had to discuss about the current economy and make some reccomendations..there were two subjects,one about Far East and Asia ..the second about Europe.

So we did a whole day of research and collecting data and then most of us spent sleepless night writing report.Our team split into pairs and everyone wanted to do something different...so there we were predicting a country's economy overnight.....tough job!!!!The entire Pre-MBA group appeared like dead men sitting before dumb computer terminals .....as AmitT rightly puts it..the whole campus was quiet except for we struggling souls!!!So this was the beginning of what was to come over the year..and unfortunately this time 'there was no lull before the storm'....the storn announced as it was coming upon us with full force.

The tiring WAC day and night was followed by an accounting lecture -Keith Parker which was very interesting and refreshing as well.The evening was one which we all looked forward .It was our first party-the Pre-MBA socials at the club.Sachin,Yan,Shirley and myself took the onus of making prparations for the night with Graham's help.It was indeed a great celebration...began with some music numbers followed by the couple 'paper dance' ...which was really enjoyed by all.
We had some chinese food and inroduction of the partners/wives of our batchmates and a performance by myself.Then we all hit the floor and danced till mid night to all rocking numbers from around the world.That was it...'our Cranfield experience' had already begun........
