You know you have fan, when someone asked "Hey, there's nothing on your
blog." So Matti, just for you, I am going to start blogging now. 
I have been running like a chicken with the head cut off 3 weeks in
a row now. Things have been pretty crazy at MIT. This is what happens
when all assignments or deadlines are due in one day of the week -
Wednesday. Take today for instance, I have to complete 2 papers, study
for 1 quiz, and complete the financial plan in my team's business plan
for the MIT $50k competition. Once again, I have grossly underestimated
the amount of work that is required for financial plan. I was
practically consumed by financial plan over the past 4 days. After 2
nights of number crunching and coordinating with my team members, I got
the financials done at 3 am last night. Unfortunately, this left me
with less than 2 hours to study for the ERBA quiz, something that most of my classmates
have been dreading. I woke up at 2 hours before the test and study for
it. At this point, I was somewhat indifferent how I may do in the test.
To my surprise, I knew what was doing in the ERBA quiz despite 1 hour
of study and 3 hours of sleep. I think I am going to do well. I then stopped
by at John's office and did a final review of the business plan with
the rest of team before submitting it to the $50k competition website
at 12 noon. I can finally start enjoying the beautiful spring weather
that I missed over the last 4 days.
