October in fast-forward

In Vienna ...

... I went to Vienna for the weekend to celebrate my mum’s birthday ... I really very much enjoyed the days however it was way to short ... just arrived on Thursday night and had to fly back to Rotterdam on Sunday night with the worst week ever ahead of me ..


In Rotterdam ...

... as mentioned I had the worst week ever just after returning back from an relaxing weekend in Vienna ... I had 7 class sessions within 6 days (4x International Investment Mgmt, 2x Advanced Marketing & 1x Supply Chain Mgmt), 1 assignment and presentation due on Thursday, 1 assignment and 1 take-home exam due on Friday, and a group report (our business plan write up for the Entrepreneurship class) due on Saturday ... *sigh* ... however, as there was suddenly that much to do at once I managed to work not right at the edge for each and every assignment but rather finished them a bit earlier ... the pressure helps ;) ... so, I even managed to go to the „Fiesta Latina“ aka The Latin Party on Thursday --- and I strongly believe I really earned that! :)

The Latin Party was just the start of a series of country-parties ... this is tradition at RSM ... taking advantage of 42 different nationalities there is a whole lot of parties ahead of us :) ... the circle continues with the German Party this Saturday and the Indian Party next week on Friday ...

Furthermore, I continue to take salsa lessons which I enjoy tremendously ... a lot of fun ... meeting new people (finally from outside the MBA program) ... I try to go twice a week – on Wednesdays and Sundays ... helps in memorizing the steps which I tend to forget from one week to the next ;)

Yesterday I was on the traditional Halloween party, organized by our American/Canadian friends ... was a really nice (and long) evening, especially – you guessed right – as I went to the Salsa before ... :) ... customes were amazing (also as usual) ... we had „men in black“, nerds, a cabana boy, some cats, a (black) dutch girl (that describes the multi-cultural standing of Holland), a hawaian dancer (without coconuts this time but still very traditional ;), an angel & some devils, Sir Elton John, ... you see, I'm spoilt by a wide variety
