You know when they say

2nd year MBA students have it easier than 1st years? I dunno who they are, but they're wrong. Two weeks into my second term as a 2nd year student and the workload is piling up so fast that I have no idea where it's all coming from. Combine a blockweek of Brand Management, (which rocked, best course I've taken so far) which left very little room for much else last week, with meeting up with friends who I haven't seen for a while (it's sooooo good to be back!) with looking for a place to live (there are very few decent 3 bedrooms in London going around now, except for when you've got a big wad of cash to spend which we don't) with regular classes (started this week) with job interviews (last week) with part-time job (starting this week) and you get the idea. It's happening all over again: I'm busy and I love it. I forgot how nice it is to be busy ;-)

Brand Management was fabulous, I can recommend it highly to anyone (or as you say in marketer's speak: I give it a high net promoter score), it's very academically rigourous, but practical at the same time, delivered in a great and very entertaining way. I also heard last week that I'm allowed to audit a course that is proving interesting: The Unstoppable Growth of Branding, taught by brand guru Wally Olins. All in all, this is looking to be an interesting term!

Hey Miss N....I was thinking the same when I heard somebody say that 2nd term of the 1st year is much easier than 1st term...I am also terribly busy (and I'm loving it!!).

Good to have you back, fancy a coffee some time at the Bite?
