European MBA Diary

Ok... I give up!

It really seems that I cannot post something more frequently. Again, the 2-month barrier has not been overcome! :) Now, the problem is that there are sooooooo many things to talk about that I don't even know where to start!


Ok... mmm... MBAT. We won! Again! Probably you already know that, as you may have read it in some of the other fantastic blogs. But I still had to mention it. Here's a pic of the basketball champions :)


What else?... mmm... CPM! As you know, I am only taking this course this term (Creativity & Personal Mastery). And let me tell you something, it has been amazing!! This is exactly why I came to business school. I came here with a goal of self-discovery, of finding out what I love and hate, of being happier with myself. This course is all that and much more. The best thing about it, in my opinion, is that everyone has the chance to be trully herself/himself. There are no egos talking, no masks being worn. We had a fantastic weekend retreat, two weeks ago, and it was a beautiful experience (well... the long nights with insance amounts of alcohol at the hotel bar also helped).



Besides that, we have had some excellent guest speakers. The highlight was last Sunday when we had in the morning Ben Zanders (author of 'The Art of Possibility') and Marshall Goldsmith in the evening (executive coach and author of 'What Got You Here Won't Get You There'... you can also check his blog).

Here's a pic from our special thank you to Ben Zanders. The guys standing are ready to sing something for him (loooooooong story!).


Finally, I am starting to feel VERY nostalgic. There's only like 3 or 4 weeks to go! Them it will all be over. The MBA, this school, my friends, this life, probably even the blog! These two years have been the best experience of my life. It's impossible to describe how wonderful it has been. A few weeks ago, when walking around Camden Town, I passed by this place:


This is where it all began!! This is where I came for a pre-admits weekend dinner, in June 2005 (when I met our friend Miss N). And it seems like it was yesterday. Man! I want to do another MBA! ...... I'll stop here... if I keep writing about this for 2 more minutes, I'll start crying.

PS: By the way, no more 'rsr.pt' ;)
