It's gray and unhealthy and, among other things, you should be spending at least some time with friends/co-workers since none of you are gonna be there forever and you should be solidifying contacts. Networking, basically -- it's what the b-school kids learn to do and what the law school kids don't. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2071189&forum_id=2#21754274) |
