Welcome back to another installment of Fridays from the Frontline, our weekly summary of the MBA blogosphere! Bloggers last week reported on everything from the panic of exam day to pure summertime rest and relaxation. Let’s take a look at what they’re up to:
Checking in on the bloggers who are currently getting ready for the upcoming admissions season, first our congratulations go to Wannabe for completing the GMAT! He pulled off a commendable score, despite struggling with practice tests and finding the test center closed on the morning of his scheduled exam. The same test administering company gave Miss Curly Bee so much difficulty that they have just granted her a second sitting free of charge. With the possibility of setbacks like these always lurking, Charu was wise to plot out his deadline schedule early on, and Running Turtle posted an even more detailed outline of his upcoming months of preparation.
In contrast to those above, bloggers who are about to begin their MBA programs this fall were sounding more relaxed. Life was good for Le Blog Hog last week, as he was attending an intensive language course to fulfill INSEAD’s rigorous language requirements. TheLadiesChoice reported an impressive schedule of movie going and shopping, as he seems to be taking his “license to chill” more seriously as his move to Chicago draws near. Juggler is making her way to Wharton via California, and as of her last post seemed most preoccupied with staying awake despite the jetlag. Taking the opposite approach, Ipoel was living it up back in Indonesia, before she returns to L.A. for her first year at Anderson.
Turning our attention to current students, there were several posts from summer interns last week. La Laudiaria broke her blogging hiatus to share her vacation plans for the weeks between her Google internship and her second year at Wharton. MBA Gladiator was also in vacation-mode, as he had a lot more to say about the beach than his United Way internship! Patxi sounded somewhat more focused, not on his LBS classes, but on David Allen’s Getting Things Done. On the other hand, with Columbia’s course bidding process getting started, John turned his sights back towards academics, just as DomoDomo graduated from INSEAD and bid farewell to his blog readers.
Lastly, trendsetters and sportsmen take note: there seems to be a new game taking MBA students by storm, leaving us to wonder if FedEx may be onto something with this TV spot! Have a fantastic weekend, and we’ll see you back here next week for another edition of Fridays from the Frontline!
