MB-Eish: Part 11: 22

**"Eish" is a South African slang term expressing surprise, dismay, anger or frustration.** 

As I mentioned two years ago, I have joined the droves of engineers who have sold out to the dark side: Banking (and more recently, the elite league of the dark side: Asset Management). To make myself more comfortable in my new, murky surrounds I have decided to do an MBA part-time. This is the eleventh in a series of posts about my MBA experience.


Twenty-two days to go and I think the panic has finally set in. 

I've been waiting for this: Panic or inspiration. I can't get much done without at least one of the above. And the second usually follows from the first. 

I have finished 10% of what I needed to do this weekend. Not for lack of trying, but probably because it was un-achievable in the first place. As usual I have underestimated what needs to be done and I foresee that I will have no sleep for the next three weeks. 

And to make matters worse I am not "in the zone". It's December, the sun is out and I am freaking tired. I feel like school's out and people are asking me to work during my Summer vacation.

I know I will get this done, but exactly how is not clear this very minute.

Dear, Panic. 

Why the hell didn't you get here sooner? You know I can't work when you're not around! This is all your fault.

Yours petulantly,
Frazzled Femgineer
