Slow Postings, School and Other Nonsense
Well, it's been taking a while to get stuff posted, what with all the hectic school work and such....
I should give a little insight into my actual class schedule.
Tuesdays 1-5: Marketing in High Tech Environment
Tuesdays 5-9: Start Up Business Consulting
Thursdays 9-5 for 5 weeks: Entrepreneurship
3 weekends Thurs, Fri, Sat 9-5: Advanced Strategic Retail Management
I think I'm just adding this to make it sound like I'm doing tons of work, but we also do two pretty major projects for UK companies - one is a Market segmentation for PC World (large computer retail chain in the UK) and then there's a US import project for an interesting company called Martin Conquest. Check them out and tell me what you think - http://www.martinconquest.com. They are adapting BMW motorcycles for handicapped bikers, so that people with injuries below the waste can still ride. Interesting idea and they see Arizona and Florida as potential markets.
We don't have many actual exams, so most of the grades are all based on our huge papers. But, in order to be able to travel on weekends, I have to work on these papers done on Monday and Wednesday. So, it's not all fun and games.
Last weekend however, was ALL fun and games, with a trip to a pretty ridiculous dance club called Tiger Tiger. 2 giant dance floors and thousands of people. (Go ahead and start making fun of me now, but the English clubs are fun, and I actually like going out dancing here...) Then the Italian guy, Vittorio, wanted to cook 3:00am Pasta and we had 10 people at the flat eating pizza, spaghetti and drinking wine until 5:30am. What a mess. I'll get the pictures up there later this week.
This weekend should be a blast with an early Friday train to Edinburgh, returning Sunday. We'll get one day up in the highlands and a trip to see the Loch Ness Monster.
Sorry I don't have anything funny to say, but hope to have some good stories from Scotish Distilleries.
