The end....... only to begin soon.
Time flies…..and it really does! We experienced this first-hand with the Pre MBA. The two weeks for 16 of us (and four weeks for another 25) practically vanished into thin air. One minute we were arriving on campus and settling down, running to Sainsbury’s or the Open market at Milton Keynes or to Tesco`s for groceries and other purchases, and of course attending lectures and other activities. And then – Poof! the time just disappeared!
With the tiring WAC over, it was time to hit the dance floor. Jana from Germany and Antonio from Uruguay volunteered to be the coordinators for the Pre MBA closure Party (we`re going to have plenty of those throughout the year...I guess we just need an excuse to let our hair down!).
And oh boy! Did they have a tough time? Well, no actually, since they showed leadership skills aptly by making sure that each team organised something. So our team, "Maria`s gang", took over the desserts (fruit cream) while others took pizzas or salad and so on. With all eight teams working on their assignments, Jana had to just make sure that no one failed....because over 50 hungry stomachs were at stake. She did a magnificent job with Antonio (with the everlasting matchstick twirling between his lips) who also made good use of his booming voice when needed.
And so the party began at 7:00 pm......and surprise surprise, all of us spun out of control straight away trying to get to the food! Well, no one could have ignored the appetising salad, the mouth watering Indian raajma curry with rice and of course, the chinese chilli chicken with the secret recipe. And was it hot? Well, if 100 degree C was the benchmark, it was very very hot indeed.
None of us could have guessed how good Antonio would be as the compere for the evening. Both the DJ and karaoke equipment were all ready to go but none of the teams prepared their homework (a team song to be performed at the party)! After the performance by A1 team, we all knew it would be a piece of cake.
The selection of songs was as diverse as our class profile – ‘Paradise City’, ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘I`m Too Sexy’ (with Bibhas wooing Andrea), ‘I Want To Break
Free’, ‘Wake Me Up’ and a CHINESE SONG with Kaifeng pulling his left ear and then the right ear in sequence and hopping like a kangaroo. It was really good fun!
As we earlybirds heard later, the extended party in Lanchester Hall continued till the early hours of the next day. Some guys have all the appetite for fun and food, I guess!
