Knight and Princess

Miffed. Annoyed with someone who gave the wrong information. Annoyed with myself for accepting as it is and not taking the initiative to confirm with other sources. As a result, a missed opportunity. A few mths of missed opportunity is alot considering I only have a year here.

Anyway.. a little bit abt the MBA. Someone mentioned before that MBA class is a very good way to network. It seems so.. prior to course start, there were so many emails flying around where everyone was eagerly introducing themselves and their jobscope. The industries they come from are very diversified- engineering, banking, accountancy, research, sales.. However, majority of people are still from Middle East / Asia, although they are mostly working in Europe.

Coursework.. I'm still trying to get used to the very different style of business vs engineering studies. Science and Maths is concrete/factual - right means right, wrong means wrong. Business studies is more hypothetical and abstract. Its fun to read and listen, but not so fun to discuss. Assignments are marked according to how much you participate in the discussion, not that u hand up a piece of paper with solutions and full stop. And because the prerequisite of this course is to have at least 3 yrs of working experience, the assignment discussions are to be based on your experience and case studies of your own, not bringing in quotes and thoughts from different authors. It is intimidating, especially when u have groupmates who are so super on. Not that its a bad thing of course, but it can be stressful when they are rattling on abt stuff which u have no idea what they are talking about.
