Weeks all look the same

Last week we had courses of finance only. It was a subject everyone had been waiting for obviously. Our teacher, Nejat Seyhun is very catchy and explains very well. No wonder this person set a worldwide index for the stock exchange (correct me if I m wrong).
I would say that on the whole, teachers are far better than those we had at Supelec in France. Going to the class is also very entertaining since you can bring your laptop to work with it.
We have been doing some case studies in groups of 4 or 5 students through the week. It was very interesting for me to see how people from different cultures would work in teams. For instance Chinese people would say what they have to say no matter what it costs to say it. They are very straightforward compared to French people. I would rather say that Chinese are "pragmatic" and the good point is that it makes things much easier in a business environment.


This long silence on the blog was mainly due to after hour homework in finance, which is a new subkect for me. Though, there was still time to play pool and to watch the Simpsons movie at the theater with Yiming. That was quite funny. If you have any pieces of advice concerning new movies let me know !


I have been spending the rest of the weekend going to the pool, working and resting before the beginning of the upcoming week, with everything it involves ;-)
Oh I forgot, it's been more than a month since I arrived in the US and I am still not tired of eating everyday at a fast food restaurant. Actually it's even worse, the more you stay here, the more you see people eating, the more you wanna eat too lol

Have a great week!!
