Okay..Let me make it clear that I am a very open minded person and have lived in New York for the last 5 years. So I Have naturally seen a lot of weird going ons. I am absolutely at ease with all of this. All right now that all this is clear, lets begin..
Started my MBA college visits with Columbia yesterday.. and the first thing that I see are 2 girls sunbathing on the college grounds.Now I have never studied in the US education system. So my dear readers may be used to it, but it was something new to add to my list. :))
The campus is small but seems very well arranged. Typical urban campus. The adcom presentation was the usual go-over of the stuffalready present on the website. A few stupid questions like "Does 'Application Deadline' mean I cant submit after that date?" floatedaround...Jeez..
I sat in on a class too. Quite interesting. Chatted with a few fellow visitors. The usual mixof IT consulting, management consulting and IBanking. Had a creative writer in there too..Overall I liked the feel of the campus and the students.
My wife turned an year older yesterday..Went to an Ethiopian restaurant. Amazing Rose wine and excellent food. Great Fun..Though didnt feel that good on the way back. The heat and humidity make themselves felt in the subway system.. Felt very drained.
So now to a peeve..Why in the world cant the transit authorities in NY install Ceiling fans in subway stations !! There is absolutely no friggin ventialtion in any of the stations..I mean I can understand that installing an AC system is not feaible giventhe cost and logistics..but atleast a fan please..
