At the strike of midnight this past Tuesday I heard a primal yell.
At Cornell University students from across the campus and collegetown scream out in unison the night before the first finals start. This yearly tradition ushers in "hell week" which starts after a week a study and ends with the last final exam. With two little kids at home sleeping I didn't participate in the yell.
The first year MBAs are preparing for 3 rigorous finals from the core classes and an integrative case that lasts two days. After three semesters at business school, I think the first semester was the most intense. Course work lightened up after that first semester but then I became involved with many other aspects of business school such as recruiting and club leadership.
Currently, I have two final exams, one case, and two papers to write during hell week. Back to work.
