50,000 EUR to ruin a relationship

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on April 26, 2009 | 5 Comments »

One of my housemates got engaged to his girlfriend during a break between periods. According to him, three things can happen to couples at INSEAD: you get engaged, you break up, you cheat. Mind you, the three are not mutually exclusive. There are rumors of people who have come here with [...]

Exams: a f*&$ing waste of everyone’s time

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on April 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

This morning I took a 4 hour Foundations of Marketing exam. Actually I ran out of space two hours into the exam and had to stop since content outside of the lines wouldn’t be graded. So really, it was the exam graded based on someone’s ability to write really really really small. [...]

[Thanks N!]
I distinctly remember doing a song and dance for the INSEAD interviewer who looked like she would rather poke her eye with a sharp stick than spend time interviewing me.  When I asked her about what she liked about INSEAD, she had quite a bit of trouble first thinking of [...]
