You Make Me Stronger

Continuing my post from yesterday, I was very happy with all the requests by my colleagues to review the more difficult example questions provided by our profs. They were very helpful in learning the concepts which will help as the professors from both classes promised to provide "cook book breaking" questions on the exam. I feel that by being challenged by my classmates to do the tougher questions, we were all able to get better at reframing problems in different ways with the economics tools we were taught in our classes. We even earned a reputation as the 'help desk' as people were often coming by to ask questions and people would often stop by to listen to how we'd put together solutions.

Our table in the public common area on the second floor of Rotman just outside the primary study stacks was alive with boisterous laughter (unusual for the generally somber mood of exam studying MBAs) as we discovered the mechanics of a particularly challenging problem.

I'm very proud to be a part of this class. Numerous second year students have come by and commented on our performance as a whole. "When it was exam time in our year, there weren't this many people who stayed as late as your class. Every day, until late at night, all the study desks in the library are full."

Everyone agrees that economics is a very interesting class and the only regret is that we didn't have enough time to study the concepts in more detail.

Anyways, to all of us who are carving out our futures over the next week, best of luck to all of you and remember me when you're famous!
