Ze French Ouik.
It is the French week that is being concluded here in INSEAD. I need to give credit to the French for having done an excellent job bringing to INSEAD the culture from "outside the campus inside". Their unique selling point was the fashion show they arranged organized by G. Lafayette from Paris. But they also had a good 'Amphi storming' and the CEO of Louis Vuitton (an INSEAD alum) as the guest speaker earlier in the week. Today is the party at Champs Elysee in Paris at club Poona. This time with no LBS girls :-).
Change in Grades
After a lot of controversy our grades were redone in two courses because of some large scale mix-up at the MBA office between Professors and secretaries and office staff. I got nearly a 3 sigma increase in my OB grade and almost a 1 sigma fall in my accounting grade. I am still a happy man because my overall GPA went up by nearly 0.4
Gruelling Week
After a lot of rest and drinking, this was the most gruelling week at INSEAD so far. There are about 4 group assignments to be turned in on monday and tuesday and classload has not been any lesser than normal. The problem is that even some of the investment bankers are struggling to "guide the teams" (read: do the assignments for the most part themselves) satisfactorily to completion. And guess what? we are already talking about exams again...3 weeks more to go and this time I am not too optimistic about the finance course.

I must commend you on your ability to balance the partee-life and crazy ass workload bro...not sure which side has more weight, but it sure sounds like you're under control.
has the rural surroundings got to you yet? or are you getting a sufficient dose of city life in your system? i think its a good balance out there by the sounds of it...yes?
