Well, it's almost end of term - only 3 more full weeks to go! And what a term it's been! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the finance exam. It's the 2nd actual test we've written so far. The 1st one was 2 weeks ago, which was Economics. I think most people did ok. Other than that, everyone, including me, has been really busy. We've had a lot of assignments (individual and groupwork) to do over the last few weeks, as well as regular class, clubs and societies, sports, and... oh yes, general living! The term has been really busy, but has been really incredible.
We had Tattoo earlier this term -- it's an annual evening which celebrates the cultural diversity of the school. An amazing night, where students from different areas of the world serve food and drink from their areas, as well as dancing etc. This was an incredible night!
The picture below is of me, Tim, and Ade.
Another highlight of the term so far was a rugby trip to INSEAD. Although we lost the game, it was a great weekend. Given the old saying of "what goes on tour stays on tour", there's not much more to say, other than I'm happy I went. Given that it was only a week before the Finance exam, I was a bit nervous, but in retrospect, it was a good decision! There are 2 big rugby tournaments coming up next year; one hosted by us at London Business School, and one at Duke in the US. I'm going to try and get to both!
At the Africa Club, we've been pretty busy too. We hosted an alum from Goldman Sachs for dinner the other night which was very informative. Also, we're well into the organisation of the Africa Trip to Southern Africa (March next year - spring break) as well as Africa Day (26 May next year).
Besides all this, I've been trying to meet some people in industry. On the first day, we were told that finding a job is about networking, and guess what? we're still told that today. So, between classes, I've been to meet a few people here and there. Although no-one is going to give me a job on the spot, it's good to meet people in the know, I guess. January is the beginning of "milk-round" and then from there, I'll know more about the companies and hopefully secure a summer internship for next year.
Time to be off... 1 final recap of Finance before tomorrow's exam...
