Busy summer term ahead

Well, holidays are up and I better start blogging again, right? As Patxi pointed out, 1/3 of the MBA is already over, this is shocking! What has happened so far?

Autumn term:

• immediately adjusted to living in London, where I have been dreaming of living since I was 13 (funnily enough, when I was back home over the holidays I found a very old diary of mine where I talk of how I want to spend the summer in London and would love to live there when I'm "old" :-) )
• Made a lot of friends from all over the world
• Enjoyed learning about Finance and Economics, as well as learning better how to analyze industries
• Spent days and days agonizing over career choices

Spring term:

• Decided I will definitely make a career change
• Met many investment banks on campus and survived lots of interviews
• Signed my contract for the summer with an ibank in London
• Enjoyed Finance Class with Joao Cocco and pretty much suffered through all the rest
• Celebrated the end of term at the Salsa & Sangria party when the exams were over

And the summer term ahead will be very busy...

• Luckily, this is the last term of core courses. We have Macroeconomics, Operations, Marketing Strategy, and Management Accounting (whatever that is supposed to be)
• I'll also take my first elective, Finance 2, which is focus on derivatives as far as I know
• My study group is going on a trip to Barcelona to do research for our Organizational Behaviour project
• We will visit Eastern German Porsche & BMW factories for our operations class
• MBAT is coming up in May

So this should be enough to keep me busy over the next weeks. I also look forward to meeting the class of 2009 at admits weekend in a few weeks. I have been to some MBA info sessions here on campus so I have met a few applicants already, but in terms of admits so far I only know Rusgirl so far.
