First week of school is done. Sunday evening and I am exhausted. With the re-exam in Applied Economics, thousands of new impressions to analyze, and interesting people to talk to and interact with, it is obvious that I have a hard time keeping my eyes open.
As soon as the exam is out of the way, I can catch up on my reading, both school material and volunteer.
You should see the library, books on marketing, branding etc. It’s going to be a great stay here in Oslo
Have you ever have to fight to hold back tears of joy while attending class?
I just did!
For now, New Product Development with Eric Olson might one of the best choices I ever made.
Three of the courses that I’ll be taking this semester all includes at least 20 newly published articles, that is each!
That’s 40 more articles in one semester, that I have had in 3,5 years at USBE.
I briefly mentioned this to a teacher – I won’t repeat what he said, but it was true.
It’s interesting how things/companies/organizations shows their “colors” and market position by their ability to be open-minded, and how they recruit the best, all of the time.
I wouldn’t say that I’m complaining of what USBE has given me, but I’m affraid that they’ll b easing the wrong direction if they don’t change chains of thought, soon.
I have been updating Safari on my iPhone all day just to see if I have been accepted to any courses here at BI. At total I asked for take five of them, and today was the day that they were to let us know.
I got all five courses, which is more than I could have asked for. Add to this that all courses are between Monday to Thursday, and no one crash into the other. Win!
It also looks as if I won’t need to buy more than three books to these five courses, so if I’m lucky, I might have just a tad more money than I first thought.
Also, if I won’t have that much to read, I might just step by the library and borrow as many as I can. Did I mention that they have a HUGE selection of books on branding, marketing, leadership etc.? No? Well, they have!
assignmentsI have taken a summer course in
Assignment 4 was more of an introduction to get to know the language. And if you passed this one the first week you didn’t have to do it later on.
Assignment 1 was to make a presentation about another person, or something. I wrote about Steven Levitt.
In Assignment 2 the teacher wanted us to copy a document to look like an original. Though I screamed at the screen a couple of times, I feel proud of the end result.
The last assignment was to make a Beamer presentation. It’s just like a Powerpoint, but you code everything yourself. Subject was free of our choice, I choose to write about parasites.
Feel free to check out my two assignments, unfortunately they’re in Swedish.
