How To Make A Tech Deck Look Cooler

Actually, nothing exciting ...

So, here I am again :-)

I must first apologize for the long transmission time interval. Debt are all the subjects plus the homework. I spent the last few weeks were only for sleeping and showering at home ...

The special greetings this time planned for Aunt Jasmine * waving waving *. However, over the last few days so happens a lot, so I am now a big hug to all my colleagues source chic!

Well, now let's look what has happened over the last few weeks can do. I know that is not itself longer as well ... sooooo

10th and 11.10.2009 - the last "vacation" days

As mentioned last time, we had 1 to 8 October National Holidays. Thanks to the many homework was "holiday" but no mention. And so I spent the Saturday with accounting (which have placed our unusual hour to 8.30am on Saturday NEM !!!). Then Group Meeting was announced for the homework of Management Thinking (MT) and management Communication (MC) to go through. And Sunday was then spent for the rest of the homework.

So you have missed nothing ;-)

12.10.2009 - teaching

This tag can be easily summarized: Leadership Development (LD) at 8am, then homework and then Group Meeting (2 papers + 1 presentation).

And in the evening ... then Chinese

13.10.2009 - Presentation Time

So the Tuesday it was really something. Overall, Tuesday is quite tiring. Clock at 8:30 it starts with MC (which, although interesting in content but is of the professor rather soporific). Then MT - again a good concept poorly executed (we are currently working on Improvements). 17h to then end of the official teaching.

At exactly 17h but has already started my next job on the day: a friend has presented his idea for a new club and I've promised to come. But too late I could not stay because I had to 18h Study Group Individual Persuasive Presentations for the MC.

We were all really super well prepared and on Monday all times even spoken sample. The presentation was then in Summer really good - ... with bugs is always ;-)

by nearly 20pm we were ready and even then it was called ... from the "Club Day". This evening should imagine that is the clubs of the university or the faculty. Actually, yes really interesting - the presentations were not all been in Chinese ... In any case, we have listened to us anyway (And I've joined the Outdoor Walking Club). And after that we said ... do homework.

But not before we had not celebrated the Pizzatag - Tuesday is in fact Pizzatag. So are Roger, Larry, Darren and I (minus Leyi and Mark both had home) to 21h in the pizzeria and have there with pizza and beer (Roger had on the day even birthday!) Homework for Economics (Eco ) and accounting (Ac) are discussed.

Yes, and at 24h I'm dead fell into bed ...

14.10.2009 - * yawn *

Unfortunately, the sleep was not too long because we had been on Wednesday at 8am again LD. The subject was followed (or persecuted) by Economics. And then it was always like "homework".

Ah yes, the evening was then announced nor Chinese.

15.10.2009 - so much to do

And again such a full day. Morning at 8:30 we started first with 3 hours AC - Yippee! Then we had Study Group Meeting. Unfortunately, that is to come Slowly the final essays for MT and LD in more detail and to be provided in the group. For MT we have to analyze a company (and run as many interviews there, which in Chinese culture is actually not common ...). And LD, we will be analyzing a leader - we have decided to Berlusconi - that will be fun :-)

To 13h then has a new (and voluntary) Trade started: China Roots. It experienced foreigners (like me), what's so special about China and how to do business here. The first lecture was by Professor Gao (my "Thinking" teacher). The theme "Challenges in Chinese Environment" was really exciting - the less speech.

After China Roots, we went further into the MBA Office. There I had in fact interviewed for the Student Ambassador Program (SAP). One could say that SAP is a project team to make the program better. We might also call the Office of MBA Consultants * laugh *

Yes ... and 18h against the interview was even over and I could devote myself to my homework ... * laugh *

16 - 18.10.2009 - Relaxed weekend

Friday is Sleep-. We have in fact only around 9.50Uhr Chinese. The teaching itself was super boring. The teacher does not proceed to actually debate and the beginner course is so heterogeneous that it just is not fun ...

To 14am Group Meeting was then announced. Of the 6 people but only 3 were there. And of the 3 only 2, the case study had previously read. Darren and I have therefore set up the presentation alone. On Tuesday we had a management that is present Thinking paper ...

Saturday morning, we should then take the group back to the President to finalize and discuss the final report in MT and LD.

wonder oh wonder - what were only Darren and me. With discussion was therefore nothing - that we have received the Presidential fairly quickly ready, so we had the afternoon free (to make the rest of the homework).

And for that, then the Sunday and went on it: homework. However, I was in such good time that I relaxed was ran on the subject go. This was due to a change in tactics: our study group had decided that time is currently worth more than knowledge - so we have divided the homework, so everyone in AC and Eco only had to make some of the tasks! has
evening then called Li - he was yesterday at this party and has taken the rest of the food: leg of lamb and pasta and potato mix. And then these are really found 5 people become sick * happy *

In sum, I can say then that it was a pretty stress-free and relaxed WoE :-)

19.10.2009 - A nap

morning was LD, then Group Meeting for the presentation on Tuesday (and this time everyone was there and we have made the concept from scratch) and in the afternoon there was a new subject : Data, Models and Decisions. That was really exciting because we have discussed decision trees. And while this is a very important subject because we are here to write an exam (you remember ever to 22.01. Fingers crossed for about yourself.) And yet ... I almost fell asleep ... After a strong coffee in the break, but this problem was resolved and I was quite awake for your presentation of the Boston Consultant Group at 5 am. From there we went right back to even Chinese.

20.10.2009 - A strange day

morning was announced for the first time MC and the whole class was super super tired. The interaction was therefore equal to 0 ... then we had lunch and great official "Welcome new Class Represesentatives" lunch - the food was bad and the meeting officially to much for my taste ...

Our presentation Thinking for the class was greeted with much applause. Instead of making a simple PPT presentation, we have the paper in the talk-show style discussion. Sun, we had to prepare less and the audience had more fun :-)

Then, Professor Wang (visiting professor) led the classes on. Unfortunately I can not say what it was - somehow I could not concentrate and the info went to one ear and out the other ...

And then came the evening of the super hammer by email and newspapers: source is closed. This has me really hard taken (although I do not even work there anymore). By learning was therefore nothing more that day ... only good thing that I Book Review for the day had already finished ...

21.10.2009 - * numb *

As you can imagine I have not slept the night really well. And accordingly I was stunned the whole day - not even the coffee could help as yet. The lessons I've more or less behind me to concentrate. Then delicious noodle soup with a few fellow students. And if to 14am I actually make Xiaowei on a coffee / tea. However, I canceled the meeting and I go to bed instead to good 2 hours sleep ... and the only thing that could move me to get up in the evening was Chinese (and the prospect of Subway sandwich then!).

22.10.2009 - dates, deadlines, deadlines

On Thursday I felt then already much better. Accounting morning (which I've done in the time part of the homework because the professor has only repeated what I had read the book already). At 12am we were from the Student Ambassador Program invited to lunch. The 2008 there have received their certificates and we ate all together comfortable and super tasty. Sorry, had a majority of us are going well soon. For

to 13h, it went to a China Factory Visit the Roots Program. The company that we've looked at is, injectors and pumps for engine (eg cars) ago and is one of the most successful here in China. The presentation was unfortunately only superficially about the production, market shares, etc. And the tour of the factory was not too revealing, because they funneled us without a lot of information simply by ... Fascinating was that, despite the many modern machines are still quite a lot of work by hand: welcome to China :-)

At the end of the day I was still Class Representative Meeting: everyone has presented and some ideas in the room thrown (I'm as responsible for "learning environment" or so). 6.30am and we were allowed to go * happy *

Yes ... and what I have planned over the next few days so?

Today is Friday. Actually, I would now Chinese. But I'll turn out - instead I got this morning already written two papers and the same I will learn Chinese. For tomorrow I had planned a daytrip to a monastery in the mountains. But I just phoned the organizer - the weather is too bad and so the trip is canceled.

But since I had planned the daytrip and therefore, most of homework have been done, I'll probably enjoy a quiet weekend jippi * *

Oh yes, Do you remember the last photos? In shorts and T-shirt on the wall! And now I'm already the jacket over the winter sweaters and still freezing. At night we have zero temperatures! So fast here comes the winter! What is you see in the picture as Christine in the lunch break (in learning) INDOOR! Partick and even had to switch to NEN!


All the best,

Victoria

PS: Sorry, but this time I have really little pictures - was simply nothing exciting for photographing ...

Service Utility Epson C 45

What so called holiday ...

Halli hallo,

's me again. And a first; phew! So the vacation was no! And next: special greetings go this time to Max, who is just back from Africa and my grandma and my grandpa, the wave is the reports are from my parents (* wink * ) send in print can :-)

Thursday exactly one week ago, 01.10.2009 - was unity, justice and freedom ... or so

The Thursday the reason for the holidays: National Day. And not just any, it was the 60 anniversary of the PRC!

And as befits a red one country must of course be celebrated. I give; International we were a bit pissed from all the fuss: the underground trains were locked into the City Centre you could not for days and all of China was on its feet (which has meant that we stayed at home beautiful ).

I started on this day so good with their homework and watched on television alongside the parade. And yes, I must say - that was very impressive. First, you have seen all the high politicians, as they have examined the Tian'anmen the military. Then there there is a military parade (* yawn *) and then were like a carnival floats shown with different themes. They had then such illustrious names as "achievements of the art '(= etc. was 1 Chinese astronaut on the car)," Nurses for more social conscience "(= promotion of the 1 child policy)," Together to sporting success "(= car with all Olympic medal winners), or" opportunity through education '(= etc. there are a few of my fellow students were obliged to join in). The first part of the parade was about 1 hour - the second approximately 2! I have not seen everything, but I am still deeply impressed . That was a real propaganda spectacle with more than 100,000 participants and everything super well organized by (who also practiced for weeks) and at the end even I've said: "These are great achievements - this is a great country ". have

As mentioned some of our fellow students as participated in the celebration, there was a great welcome party on the sports field. The big band played and the great weather we have taken the opportunity away from the homework to . Come As you can see Patrick and I are already well integrated ;-)


In the evening there was still a 3 hour long sing-dance fireworks (which by the way broken the world record). That was soooo nice to see (on TV of course)!

And yes, I confess a bit of German reporting. Have mainly emphasized the military part of China for foreign shows the teeth, etc. But I can you say, the show had focused less on the military than on the "Carnival". And it was not really intended for residents rather than for China to raise the national pride and unite the country even further (because the Chinese see themselves in it that is a problem!).

What is even more noteworthy was the weather: the sky was overcast days earlier / smogig. And on the national holiday (and the whole week) we had clear blue skies and sunshine. How so? Weather guns - which are here but really as it, that they are about to send rain on your party just so they have nice weather have!

Friday, 02/10/2009 - Wall, we are

As already mentioned we are on this day to the Great Wall at Mutianyu (so hot , t the section there) down. Actually, the trip takes only then, almost 2 hours. However, we have already used up two hours we were on the highway outside of Beijing - everyone wanted for this beautiful weather out of the Moloch!

counter 12pm we were finally on the wall and ... oh surprise surprise ... there was relatively little going on. After a quick lunch, we have set ourselves in the cable car and drove up on the wall. The wall was built on mountain ridge that is here - we would have to walk up ... but rather not ...

At the top we had a breathtaking view! This we have enjoyed for about 1 hour while we have run in bright sunshine along the wall. And even if the wall here is restored, the ups and downs going up one day but pretty hard on the muscles! How good that we do not end up running down but had to sit quite comfortably in a summer toboggan run could have :-)

If the builders knew what to do with barbarians the wall ... * laugh *

(I know its been keen on the images of the Great Wall, so I've uploaded a lot - to make larger just click on it!)

wanted to go to the wall we actually still watch the Ming Tombs nearby. As these close but already by 4 clock (and yes we had spent 2 hours in Beijing traffic), we drove back towards university. The return trip was very uneventful: no traffic jams and all have been sleeping (oh forgot, we had rented us a mini-bus to 10 with a driver - very convenient). At the conclusion the day we are then still eat delicious Indian gone :-)

Saturday, 03/10/2009 - hm ...

beautiful national holiday in Germany. I must say, it's a bit embarrassing as we celebrate our national day - especially after I saw the Chinese. But oh well ...

Now I have to grade me think very sharp ... what have I done Saturday? Oh yes, homework ...

I have to explain maybe short, we have 8 days off. They are the only days in the year, the Chinese at a time to spare. So is the whole of China on the legs and the Rumreisen. Thursday was National Day, and so today, on Saturday, is something like "co-Autumn Festival". This is one of the biggest festivals and probably most comparable to "family meeting".

But back to the homework: Since we have released eight days (and probably to do nothing else), we have lots of homework, get open: 4 papers in each subject read and in almost every subject or case studies. This is not really celebrated!

Therefore you will also "I've done homework" Read more in this report ;-)

Saturday I made so homework. And in the evening were Darren, Li, Ioana and I in the D22, a Studentenpub nearby. There, namely Chinese rock bands that played live (and at a very reasonable price). We therefore now and totally happy. The pub was really great: the even had an antique foosball table (so one of the still * pling * makes when you kick the ball) - which was one of us first once seized. And then the band started playing. I must confess that I have understood nothing of the poetry. But the tunes were great. Goofy was that it was running way too so we went to just over 1 hour again and indulged us in The Ants have malwieder Spaghetti * happy *.

Sunday, 04/10/2009 - Can we really eat?

said on Sunday it again in the morning to do homework. 11am against me but I've already met with Darren and we are using the subway in the city down (which stops at Tiananmen were still blocked the way).

Our goal was a shopping area in the City. And that was really huge, which would have to be everywhere: Munich, Berlin, London, NY ... super new, super big, super expensive! Actually we wanted to go since only the two major book stores around us to get textbooks nuja ... ... we would then have enjoyed the huge weather and are a little run around.

And then we are in a mini small side street inflected, and ... were in ancient China. Everywhere were people. right and left, it was small food stalls or shops belly and all, it was a crazy smell (not bad) and noise. Since there was by Chinese and Kebab Wraps and fruits in sugar but also so weird things like "deep-fried scorpions in the closet" (and have before frying the gezappelt still in the closet!). Total madness!

Monday, 10/05/2009 - Homework

is too much of Monday's not to report, I have homework and met me for lunch with fellow students. That's it. The normal university life halt ;-)

But no, we had that day 2 highlights: on the one Patrick and I have decided some of the homework in the park to make jippi * *. Second, we had a info on our door that the hot water pipes are repaired, and we therefore, for the next 2 days do not have hot water (and the security they have the faucet in the shower just in red tape sealed!) ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Tuesday, 10/06/2009 - Shopping!

I got up very early on Tuesday because I wanted to make up a bit done. 10am and we went to go towards the underground and from there to Xidan. At exactly 11am I met there, Xiaowei. She is Chinese, studying German here in Beijing and I was written several months ago and asked if I like their language partner to be * happy *

lunch (Japanese), we chatted a bit - her German is really very very good . Since one can correctly be jealous!

Then we went to shop. We have ignored the large modern department store and have plunged us into the side streets instead. There were all sold very many small shops, the clothes, shoes and knick-knacks. First, we both have purchased an over-drawn part. That was really funny: the vendor has filled in a note. Which we then went to a makeshift box office and paid for. There we will receive a stamp and so we went to another fund where the checks where we paid for have - there was still a punch. And with the document we went back to the vendor that has given us the clothes. So you can also create jobs :-)

Xiaowei has then subsequently purchased a small shop "DocMartens. For the equivalent of 20 € * laughs *. Fully loaded, we are then streaked through the streets with the ultimate in a kind of department store to end. Dad, would you in there by turn - note that no single theory Sale!

You have the shops you Here, as a huge bazaar imagine. There is a rieeeesigen room. And is divided into small compartments gaaaaanz. And these compartments provide shop-in-shop systems (more or less) there. Stores are sorted by content (bags to bags, shoes shoes ...) but that's it. And each store has 2-3 sales staff (to about 3qm) and no dressing. Who buys what must rely on it so easy that it fits * laughs *. In addition, one must necessarily act here. Example: I wanted to buy a knit dress and a blouse. The price was 200 RMB to the knit dress and the blouse again 40RMB. Actually quite cheap. After Xiaowei, however, negotiating with the seller has (1000 thanks to them!), I get both for 160RMB (and even that seems to me still remains high). Yes ... it still has to get used to :-)

have been sleeping in all, we really are: I have purchased a total of 6 pieces (knitted dress, stall sweatshirt, sweater, 2 turtle neck and a blouse) and have lunch with a total and all paid about 30 €! Real awesome!

completely broken I am opposed to 5 am again been at home. And there was Tuesday ... it was the first time a pizza along with Patrick. Tuesday is the fact Pizzatag!

And then ... right ... homework up to 24h. They do in fact, despite much persuasion still not by itself :-(

Wednesday, 07.10.2009 - It herbstelt

morning I am earlier , h got up and got me on animal got ne hot shower yesterday namely the water was shut off completely but this morning it should work again ... If that is again unfortunately I had cold shower ... Too soon got..!

The morning was once again filled with learning.

For lunch I then Helen finally seen again. Helen was in my Orientation Week Group, and has been, unfortunately, in class 2, that we never see. So it was really great just to chat a bit again. Unfortunately, they also had to go again soon, so I again was able to devote my homework - how great!

The day is not much else happens. The weather was foggy / smoggy and the temperatures are within the week very well liked - now takes quite sweater and a jacket when you go out! In addition, the sun has gone to who knows where ...

sit indoors so is not a bad decision!

I'm busy all day Wednesday with the accounting. Our book "speaks" as if we were all limited. And it has too many colors - because you get almost eye cancer. However, I have read the first 3 chapters and made all the necessary tasks. Amazing was that I still remember very much of what we have learned that time in BA! Fascinating. Unfortunately, my numbers but not yet risen :-(

And in the evening then hung another note on the door that they now repair the pumps and therefore we again have no hot water ...

The problem was fortunately resolved in the night (yes, that is possible in China !) and so there were only few problems!

Thursday (today), 08.10.2009 - last holiday * power on *

What have I done now for homework? I got my book for the Book Review was read (not hard since I one with tactical "only chose 100 pages in German ". Was very good: Socrates for Managers "by A. Drosdek). I've also both texts for Managerial Thinking read (Mintzberg on the Design School and Chandler on headquarters of large companies * yawn *). I have almost all the homework done for accounting and for Economics (which I should read here another 2 chapters). Also, I'm all for Communication and read half of Leadership. Not too bad you would think ... Were it not for the 4 papers.

Today's task was therefore rewrite the two messages for Thinking about the two articles. And yes, I'm so proud! You may praise me! I have this morning posted the article on Mintzberg and in the afternoon "are the 1st and the 2nd district and the worst case scenario then the scores for Chandler (both for Professor Gao and so we say * laugh *). Read about it again tomorrow and then I can give on Monday Sun

thus still missing the Journal of Leadership: we will simply summarize what's thought-leadership we have made over the week ... hm ...

comes to that the presentation for Tuesday (a belief that presentation ... ... ... enthusiasm has its limits).

I'm glad God that I've written two memos. They were not easy (especially since we do not know what are the requirements and formulate Gao these also do not want / can). Tomorrow we have morning and afternoon, a Chinese Study Group Meeting on Accounting (Oops ... should read the case study I did!). Saturday we (exceptionally) Accounting. And then the whole Sunday is something to worry about homework - this will be a great weekend * lol *.

Yes ... so much for my recent "vacation" week. As you can see - we work hard - and have fun, too ;-) incidentally

I'll keep everyone

Soul Silver Shiny Stone

Happy Holidays

Hello dear ones,

first many many thanks for all the nice calls, cards and emails. I was so happy about every single message!

25.09.2009, Friday - Happy Birthday

This Friday was not much going on. Actually we should have Chinese classes in the morning. Since, however, have forgotten a few people to make the placement test, teaching was moved to Sunday ... ...

So I made Friday morning a little homework and then I went to the 13h CDC meeting went. The CDC is the Career Development Center of my department - the one with tips for career planning. That was not all that exciting of all things and we were all glad we were able to go after only 1 hour.

But then there were still a surprise:
went my phone when I was in college. And at the other end someone has to speak Chinese to me. So I got the phone in the Elli (F-MBA from the class) in the hand pressed and has arranged everything for me: I'm namely Flowers of Dan * GGG *

get Around 7 I then did a few other international students from my class met for dinner - that was really good.

And then we went to La Bamba (in a pub near the university). I'll tell you, that was something! I only had a few people may know. But in the end we were about 40 people. Ioana has reserved a nice way get a table for us all. The boys have taken care of beer and the girls have organized two cakes. Real hammer!

Well ... and then David has noted that in his home tradition, the birthday child is lifted on nem chair in the air ... you know what happened now? Which I have yet actually lifted up 25 times! Unbelievable!

But that's not all - there was of course more than once "Happy Birthday" sung, danced ... and we went to 11 o'clock every other pub in NEN moved on. Rob, also from my class has, by way funny at the same birthday - and the course had to be celebrated.

example, to 2 am I was (very early!) Back home - dancing in the club I unfortunately have to miss, because the next day it was supposed to go on ne-day tour ...

26.09.2009, Saturday - NATURE!

Jaaaa ... I is ... the normal length to get up the next morning, I like really hard. Especially since it has been raining outside and ...

But I so happy for so long on the trip, I'm totally gone.

about half past 9, a group has made international tourism / Beijing in front of the Hilton. And in nem small bus, we went with about 45 people going out of Beijing.

We drove south-west: plan was to look in the mountains along the Yongding River two ancient villages.

From Beijing we went out quite well. But then when we were in the mountains ... unfortunately we had to insert a longer pause, because there was a car accident.

I'll tell you, because two trucks drove in a minivan. With us, there would have been a lot of body damage - there were 4 deaths. The police took 3 whole hours to clear the road (and the ambulance was for a good 1 hour also sometimes on the spot!). It was a real tragedy!

any case, our bus could not go on. So what we have done? We have spent two grills, designed carpets and have simply seen by the road side barbecue :-)

went after about 3 hours there and then. However, as we have already lost 2 hours, we had very very little time to look into the villages. Too much was there but not to see. What has impressed me, however, was the landscape. Here are some pictures (click to enlarge).

27.09.2009, Sunday - "That is called Pinyin & ndash ; Pinyin

As we had announced on Sunday Chinese lessons. I'm really looking forward on it to finally learn Chinese properly. Unfortunately, our teacher's enthusiasm is not quite so divided. The classes consisted of heart rates and repetition to learn. We have neither an introduction to the Pinyin (the "Romanized" sign language) have, nor has it asked for our name or our level.

And frustrating, I have the feeling that all but me have a little Chinese can - in a beginner's course!

Hm ... I see a pressing need that I can learn even more and faster!

After class it was then straight back into the dorm. I had to write two papers that is done. One I've just corrected again (a journal on the topic "What are your thoughts about leadership, I declared the week? What have I learned?" * yawn *). But the housework for Managerial Thinking had to be written in full. Bad thing is that we have received no instructions about what to do. We have 2 texts and then it was only "Now write your memo about it." I then simply written summary ne alla "says Porter XX and XY Amsden adds." Hope that was somewhat correct - Feedback we have not received ...

28.09.2009, Monday - "? What is a Leader"

To 8am ( !) Leadership Class was announced. All of us have submitted our brave Journals (even if really had no significant plan, whether it is right that we have done). And then it started with the lessons. I'll spare you the details now and just want to say * yawn *.

But at least I get 5 extra points. We must namely, choose 5 people every week, have shown special leadership qualities - and then get 5 extra points - and I was last week (for whatever reason) one of the people that my class has chosen is * proud *.

went the rest of the day then again on it for homework.

And in the evening I sat down with Dipak (from India) made and we went together to a nearby Language School. Dipak taking Chinese lessons there and it should be quite good, I wanted to see the school again.

My first impression: very modern and nice and the teachers are super motivated. This method is a "repeat after me until you do it right," describe. Overall, I think it's very good that the eighth really close attention to the debate - which is extremely complicated, and Chinese that is adjacent to sing. However, I am simply no auditory learning ... hm ...

To 20pm was the lessons are over and we eat a little something left. And then ... I had to go back to the university. The next Day we had, in fact a presentation for Communication class and I had Larry (from my learning team) promised that I was practicing with him ... then bed time ... so to 23h

29.09.2009, Tuesday - "We deserve pizza '
time for the sunrise I woke up. I tell you, we had the last days of Autumnal total / hazy weather. The weather service says online but we should have sunshine ... We suspect therefore, that the government uses guns to rain on the National Day (Thursday) to have good weather. The spin the Chinese!

8.30 Communication class was announced. And everyone was really excited because we should show (or at least one person per study group). But before that it was the first time all kinds of ramblings ... I must confess that I am not the popular vote this class breaks. On the one hand, I think it's really great that the University makes a compulsory subject for all (especially since our Chinese parts never have presented). But then I hear it all now for the umpteenth time and it gets so slow just boring ...

any case, our presentation of the EXPO 2010 in Shanghai. Larry has class and it really presents! The effort was worth it!

Afterwards, there was 4 hours Managerial Thinking. This is a subject that we should teach critical thinking and linking. Too much but we have also learned not here yet. And I have the feeling that Professor Gao does not like it so real, when we again speak his mind ... Hmm ...

For this class, we must in any case the Memos. And we have really hoping that it says something about it - after all we had to make so early as Monday. Sorry, unfortunately, Gao has lost not a word about it, so we have asked themselves after class. The answer was "just like last time, you do it once again" - not really helpful!

two study groups also had to write any memos, but to present the text in a presentation. What have we learned? If Prof is no precise instructions, you should demand before doing something. One group had in fact super much effort has but thanks to the lack of information about the totally wrong ... ... ... ... ....

counter 5:30 we were finally out of the university. And because some of my friends today Thinking presentation had (and we all have suffered in the classroom to animal boredom), we wanted to reward us. So there was to celebrate the day pizza and beer :-)

And then I got home I still Slumdog Millionaire viewed on the PC - very nice movie, but pretty heavy stuff ...

30.09.2009, Wednesday - PARTY!

Promptly at 8 o'clock it started with Leadership Class - and this time the discussions were even more boring and further away from the subject than Monday * yawn *

We have all so excited when we finally against 10 were allowed to go in Economics!

In Economics we have a pretty funny Prof. He is Chinese, but has long lived in the USA - and he has a Texan accent * lol *

Hm ... this is already the only positive , what can I say here ... everyone else would say that the teacher is super funny - somehow I understand the humor but not so distracted me from the more ...

We also raise the same with a Micro Economics - although most of my classmates still do not know about Macro Economics ... I'm curious if this works ...

So much for the official part of Wednesday. In the afternoon I did our homework in total for all (organization is not a Chinese strength and as we have on so much I hope it helps any). Full horror I then determined to 5 am, what time is it - at half past 6, I should meet me in front of the university with Dipak to go for Chinese lessons! Quick, quick ...

I decided at that school for this semester to take lessons. However, I see that once again I find 1-2 people who want to do with me NEN beginners. Dipak is already a level that is higher ... but let us see times ...

After class we have our bikes then at the Uni off, called a taxi and drove to our IMBA party. Yes ... the week! Why? We have eight days National Holidays * happy *.

The students have organized party - in a super send home! We drank beer (tastes here is clearly not as good as beer dt) and karaoke singing - that was super funny :-)

AND ... I found out that Matt from the course 2 NEN trip to the United ; e wall plans. So I have got the same views nen space reserved for Friday ^ ^

Yes ... gone as far to the days. Today is National Day and that is really crazy! You have to observe the military parade on TV / Internet watch - really crazy! Learn more about this next time!

I'll keep all of Victoria
