First and Second days of the MBA

Yesterday was the first day and we had to turn up for the oriationation in full suit you can see seom of us in the pic below. Thankfully this is not the normal dresscode but they wanted us in suits cos they were taking photos of each of us f0r the profile book (they actually make a profile book and circulate it among the prospective employers it's great!) The photograph session was quite fun cos I felt like I was in some modeling shoot, with the photographer making us pose in many ways and spending about half an hour on each of us. (I'm waiting to see the results :0) )

Got to speak to most of the class they were really nice and highly international (I think the brits were a minority!) Unfortunatly after meeting so many I'm not too sure about the names, we all wore name tags.

After the orientation around 20 of us went to the Queen's College formal dinner.

Today was the first day of lectures and it was a bit wierd after so long... We had Economics and though I expected the lecture to be really boring the lecturer made it pretty interesting with lots of real life exaples and the students really got involved too. One other good thing is that the lecture hall are circle shaped and we sit in a semi circle around the lecturer so everyone gets to see him clearly, only problem was that we had 3.30 hrs of it with breaks of course and my brain had gone on strike by the time the lecture ended!!!

Hi from Cambridge

Well I'm back after some time. Things have been unbelievably hectic lately cos I just arrived here in Cambridge on the 11th Sep afternoon and am still trying to settle down. I met some of my friends at the Heathrow Airport and you can see a pic belo, of all of us
So far things have been great I've got a lovely room in a grad house which I will be sharing with 4 others and it has a shared kitchen. I have only met one of the girls who'll be staying with me, but she seems friendly.
Cambridge is a beautiful place below is a pic of the River Cam. I've been taking quite a number of photos since I got here.

I also managed to meet a few of my fellow MBAs at the Judge Business School Cambridge and took a pic of them too. So right now I'm just settling in and so far things have been great.

That's it for now, but will do many more posts as I get along.
