The International Food Festival & ...

Hi everyone,

This week was yet another extremely busy one.

But finally the mid-term exams are over. Econ (economics) went really well, I’m satisfied with 93% of marks and I have a very good feeling for the finance mid-term on Wednesday night. Now we are heading in big steps through a lot of more syndicate assignments towards the final exams in the first week of December. Of course we celebrated finishing mid-terms over at the pub…

Yesterday we had our “International Food Festival” in the MBS courtyard. Free food from all over the world … yummy! We had dishes from Peru, Chile, UK, Poland, India, Indonesia, China, Japan, Korea, Catalonia,…

And we definitely earned it… someone talked me into playing in the MBS-touch footy team in the AGSM-MBS Cup even tough I never ever held a football in my hands …

What is the AGSM-MBS Cup?

My business school (MBS) is competing in diverse disciplines against the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) from Sydney. We are playing golf, beach volleyball, soccer, touch footy, and poker.

What is touch footy?

This is a type of rugby without tackling, instead – to stop the other team – you have to touch the person with the ball (it’s one of these oval ones …) Probably half of the team (including myself) never played that before so we had an hour practice yesterday before the food festival. We tried to learn the rules (I just do what I’m told to ;). It will be a quite hard game today, I’m quite sore although I tried to do everything to avoid it. But I haven’t been running so much in a long time and also I didn’t play any team sports in years. It’s going to be a mixed game (i.e. at least 2 girls have to be at the ground at any time). Even tough we’re allowed to substitute it will be quite hard for the girls as we’re only 3 playing!

Let you know how it went! Keep fingers crossed! :)

B.
