Campus being hit by the 'WAC'
It was a dreadful week..and there was active preparation as we were gearing ready..with our seat belts on..to get set go for the storm.. the first Economics WAC and there it came with a bang...'Tea,Toast & tenacity'..indeed the name quite appropriate as it challenged our strength and tenaciousness in its real sense.The case study was handed out Monday morning at 11.00 am and then everyone was rushing around the school...making their preparations..first doing their individual analysis,then team meeting..followed by stream dump presentation.Finally we were all ready for the hardest part..that was to write down the report ..now that we had an information overflow.And with the deadline being immovable as ever ..fixed at Tues 2pm,it was all the more horrible.
All of us struggled in to put in the report with its added word restriction in place.At 11pm in the night some pizzas were arranged to comfort the suffering souls.As the night progressed,almost everyone was awake ..struggling to put in their thoughts together..some in rooms,some at the forum...together,hoping that would reduce the anxiety somewhat.Next morning there was this 'WAC run' where everyone hurried to the SOM to print their final copies and hand it over to grad admin.Finally the pain was over and we all met with swollen eyes from lack of sleep...at the socials to celebrate its passing away.The rest of the week was the so called 'reading week' but ironically there were lots to read but no time for it.We had a few back-to back sessions from the careers office for CV writing and learning the art of schmoozing,followed by personal development.On thursday evening,we went to the Networking party at the Loreal London office.It was an ideal platform for the new students to be introduced to the Cranfield alumni and it was a wonderful evening where we shared the experiences of our past years during their MBA at Cranfield,also came to know about the companies they were working in at present and could gauge how and which way we could direct our career search.
