I'm on my way to getting my masters

Hello again - please visit Pascal's pics

So currently we are in our 1st MBA class(hesitant yay!). This class meets for a total of 16 hours (in 2.5 days) i think. The class is called Team Building & Leadership. Pretty interesting I might add. The professor hails all the way from... wait for it... Boston. He is really engaging and the class is loving him and the topic at this point. Like I said earlier, it is fun to use my brain again in a different way than from corporate America.

For those of you who don't know, ENPC (the school in Paris I am in) uses a an ultimate block scheduling system. So far it is very effective. In most american institutions, the student takes a course once or twice a week over a semester. However, in this block scheduling system, we are taking the full credits within a week. This is great for a couple of reasons, one, our brains are bombarded with information for only one course at a time, thus making us sponges (I hope). And two, this give the teacher the ability to make the class more interactive, and trust me, that makes everyone happier.

And now for some random stuff.

The Louvre is down the street from our school.

And yes, I may go the whole time without going inside.

Yes I've seen a double decker bus (in Thailand), but a double decker train... come on America, catch up!
