Building excitement

Sorry for the bad pun, but there is a lot of new building excitement and building excitement for our futures this summer. We started Winter A classes last week. Walking into the new building was a surreal experience, or maybe it just seemed that way because I arrived early for my 8am class and felt like I was still on break. The building’s wintergarden area is expansive and airy, and the first time I tried to do my homework there it almost had an upscale hotel feel to it. The orange--I mean terracotta!—color has grown on me, but I can’t quite figure out the interesting carpet selection. It looks like a mix between a world map and an MRI scan, and has certainly been the topic of many conversations!
This week has been extremely busy with group projects and also marked the start of internship interviews for many MBA1s. Despite the mock interviews with companies, advice from the Office of Career Development, and practice with other MBA1s, my nervousness was overwhelming as I sat in the interview waiting room today. Fortunately, my classmates sensed that and started chatting away with me to keep me distracted until it was time for my interview. That’s the great thing about Ross. You can always count on your classmates for support!
