Time Out

Adrian's advice for the full-time MBA students out there: don't stress about it too much. It's just an exam.

After feeling absolutely brain-drained earlier in the week as a result of over-studying, I decided to take it relatively easy yesterday, and thus headed out to the Anzac Day AFL match at the MCG. My companions for the day were three American students who had never attended a game of Australian 'foody' before. In the pouring rain, we huddled together up in the stands, exposed to the elements, watching the game, as I outlined the basic rules - six points for a goal, one point for a behind, and make sure you criticise the umpiring as much as you can.

Two quarters were enough to experience Melbourne's dedication to the game, so at half time we ventured into the members' bar, and enjoyed a few beers while Collingwood destroyed Essendon by six goals.

It's back to the books now though. Classes are over for the term. Exams start on Monday. This time next week it'll be all over! (at least for a couple of weeks anyway)
