The scarcest resource...

I don't remember which professor started his course this way but in his introduction he asked the class what the scarcest resource is - and the answer is: Time. It's the one thing that will never be renewable, unless Doc Brown can really figure this flux capacitor thing out.

Here's the mental update: 
After being sick for the better part of a week, I found myself jumping right back into a heavy LIFE-load: 5 courses, company info sessions, MBA Association meetings, networking events, enrichment talks, friends visiting and of course group classwork. My google calendar looks like a game of tetris. I've even had to make a calendar entries to block off time to call home. Of all the things I'm learning about here, the most significant has been to manage my time. 

The pace of Hong Kong is extremely fast compared to California. Here, we are constantly working, meeting, networking, learning, eating, drinking, moving. It's nice to always be doing but it was also quite nice to just sit in bed this Sunday morning and veg a little. I do miss chillin on the couch with my dad and watching football on a Sunday afternoon.

And the physical update:
The resume's being finalized and I'm working on cover letters. Apps are coming right up and I'm still narrowing down the jobs/internships I want to try for. Updated my LinkedIn and started meeting people for informational interviews, which I find infinitely more useful than browsing company websites. Also got together with the MBA Student Association leaders at CUHK today to exchange ideas so hopefully we'll get to do some events together this year.

The weather's cooling down and that scenery at HKUST is still as beautiful as ever.

That's it for now. Keep it classy and LET'S GO CHARGERS!
