B-school comes to an end!!

I graduate in less than three weeks now and I am ready to embrace my freedom. Yes, that is what it feels like for now.
I don't mean it in a bad way, I am only stating what is a fact. I had brilliant experiences, learnt a lot, sat in classes taught by the best professors in the world, partied like hell, met some amazing people and met a great variety of people, learnt how the business world works, started liking business suits, failed many times and kept my calm, lost my sanity and got it back, un-learnt many lessons of life and learnt them again. I saw some vices of life as closely as I had never seen. I delved into them, got perplexed, panicked and came out strong. There is absolutely no doubt that these rushed couple of years taught me a lot, I can't even count all my learnings right now. I am sure new things will keep occurring to me.
And all this learning came at the cost of losing some of my freedom. To embrace this learning I had to fit into this mold that was acceptable in this environment. Sometimes I thought Business school had turned the 8 hours a day part of my life into 24 hours a day. And if I ever thought I was alone for a while, I really wasn't. I always had the company of assignments and deadlines. It was a whirlwind. I did not have the time to feel myself. At times, it suffocated me; but it was impossible to step out. I wasn't there to step out, I was there to hang in and take in all that I could.
I am celebrating the 12th of June 2010 with my family and friends. It will be the day I'll step out of business school. I will no more share a tight space with so many people, I will no longer be diplomatic to keep access to the air I breathe in. I will no more be under observation when I pause to think or get perplexed. But I am sure I will take with me a large part of this way of life.
I am sure these two years must have been some of the most important years of my life but I am excited to step out because only then will I be able to digest what I learnt. It was not just a party!!
